Нита расчленяет монстров. Её мать их убивает и приносит дочери, чтобы потом продать органы и части тела в интернете. Но однажды мама приводит домой живое создание. Нита решает: это уже слишком, и, спасая жертву, сама в качестве товара оказывается на Рынке смерти, самом большом рынке по продаже частей тел сверхъестественных существ, ведь она... тоже монстр. Нита совершила благородный поступок - и лишилась всего. Теперь, чтобы спастись, ей придется совершить много плохих.

Зачем стараться быть хорошим человеком, если тебя все равно пристрелят? Зачем пытаться не причинять вред людям, которых ты не знаешь, если они убили бы тебя, поменяйся вы местами?

После того как Нита сбежала от похитителей и подожгла Рынок смерти, где ее держали в плену, все, чего она теперь хочет, — начать жизнь с чистого листа. Но всего лишь одно короткое видео с демонстрацией ее сверхъестественных способностей рушит все ее планы.

Нита по-прежнему одна из самых желанных добыч на черном рынке. Есть только один способ защититься: заставить других бояться ее так, чтобы никто не осмелился больше ее преследовать. Даже заручившись поддержкой Ковита, воплотить это в жизнь не так-то просто.

Но попав в игру "убей или будь убитым", Нита сделает все возможное, чтобы победить.

Анита (Нита) — смышлёная девица старшего школьного возраста. Только вот никакую школу она уже давно не посещает, а вместо этого препарирует сверхъестественных существ, убитых мамой, чтобы папа потом продал их по частям через интернет. Девушка искренне любит свою работу и успешно игнорирует зачатки совести, пока в один прекрасный день охочая до больших денег мама не притаскивает на расчленение живого парня. Казалось бы, выпустив его, Нита совершила первый в своей жизни нравственный поступок. Только вот его последствия оказываются для неё неожиданно пагубными...

Nita finally has Fabricio, the boy who betrayed her to the black market, within her grasp. But when proof that Kovit’s a zannie—a monster who eats pain in order to survive—is leaked to the world, Nita must reevalute her plans. With enemies closing in on all sides, the only way out is for Nita and Kovit to take on the most dangerous man in the world: Fabricio’s father. He protects the secrets of the monsters who run the black market. Stealing those secrets could be the one thing that stands between Nita and Kovit and certain death in the thrilling conclusion to the trilogy that began with the critically acclaimed Not Even Bones.

Gotham meets Strange the Dreamer in this thrilling young adult fantasy about a cowardly girl who finds herself at the center of a criminal syndicate conspiracy, in a city where crooked politicians and sinister cults reign and dreaming means waking up as your worst nightmare.

Ever since her sister became a man-eating spider and slaughtered her way through town, nineteen-year-old Ness has been terrified—terrified of some other Nightmare murdering her, and terrified of ending up like her sister. Because in Newham, the city that never sleeps, dreaming means waking up as your worst fear.

Whether that means becoming a Nightmare that’s monstrous only in appearance, to transforming into a twisted, unrecognizable creature that terrorizes the city, no one is safe. Ness will do anything to avoid becoming another victim, even if that means lying low among the Friends of the Restful Soul, a questionable organization that may or may not be a cult.

But being a member of maybe-cult has a price. In order to prove herself, Ness cons her way into what’s supposed to be a simple job for the organization—only for it to blow up in her face. Literally. Tangled up in the aftermath of an explosive assassination, now Ness and the only other survivor—a Nightmare boy who Ness suspects is planning to eat her—must find their way back to Newham and uncover the sinister truth behind the attack, even as the horrors of her past loom ominously near.

Face your fear . . . or become your nightmare.

In this thrilling sequel and conclusion to the City of Nightmares duology, which has been praised as "so much fun readers will stay up all night to finish it" (Kirkus, starred review), Ness is forced to make a twisted deal with the Nightmare Phantom—only to find herself embroiled in the explosive fallout of the agreement when a botched assassination attempt unleashes chaos into the City of Newham. Nineteen-year-old Ness used to have a vehement terror of Nightmares—people who’d been turned into their worst fears while they slept. Through two assassination attempts, an explosion, and a faustian bargain with a dream demon, she’s finally working through those fears. Unfortunately, Nightmares aren’t the only dangerous thing in Newham. Working at a speakeasy where gunfights are common and death is a regular occurrence, Ness is forced to reckon with all her other fears—including her fear of mortality. It’s easy to die in Newham, but it’s hard to live. So when the Nightmare Phantom—the monster that turns people into Nightmares—shows up, asking her another favor, she agrees, but only if he turns her into a Nightmare.
