Padlocked doors. Strange light fixtures. Mutant cockroaches. There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s. Because every room in this old Los Angeles brownstone has a mystery or two. Mysteries that stretch back over a hundred years. Some of them are in plain sight. Some are behind locked doors. And all together these mysteries could mean the end of Nate and his friends. Or the end of everything... "A riveting apocalyptic mystery in the style of LOST."--Craig DiLouie, author of THE INFECTION and THE KILLING FLOOR

And even re-read a little bit of it today. Which of course led me to realize there were some "logic" issues, and oh yeah I stil...
Review to come... When I can get my hand on a physical copy and look for some quotables that made me laugh.
When broke and directionless Nate Tucker finds an extremely affordable apartment, things quickly take an odd turn. Why does the light in Nate's kitchen always act like a black light? What's with the seven legged cockroaches? And why are all the other apartments as quirky as his? That's what Nate and...
Review Excerpt: Overall, 14, once it really got going, was a book that kept me on my toes. I would expect one thing to happen, and something else would happen instead. I would think "Oh, that has to be a stopping point" only for the wave to start cresting even higher from there. (I do think he took ...
