<p><b>Dark things can happen on a long, cold Icelandic night...</b><br><br>Iðunn is in yet another doctor's office. She knows her constant fatigue is a sign that something's not right, but physicians dismiss her symptoms and blood tests don’t reveal any cause.<br><br>When she talks to friends and family about it, the refrain is the same — have you tried eating better? Exercising more? Establishing a nighttime routine? She tries to follow their advice, buying everything from vitamins to sleeping pills to a step-counting watch. Nothing helps.<br><br>Until one night Iðunn falls asleep with the watch on, and wakes up to find she’s walked over 40,000 steps in the night . . .<br><br>What is happening when she’s asleep? Why is she waking up with increasingly disturbing injuries? And why won’t anyone believe her?<br><br><b>“<i>The Night Guest</i> pulls us by our throats down Reykjavik midnight streets in an unraveling nightmare. This book moved, thrilled, and terrified me.”—CJ Leede, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <i>Maeve Fly</i></b></p>
