But perfect never stays that way.

One night, Chloe’s life is shattered, and all she can hope for is that the memory will fade like a bad dream. But secret truths are dangerous, and Chloe discovers that keeping things hidden causes more harm than good—especially when the nightmare is real and comes back for more.

Editorial Reviews

I settled in to begin reading NBTAM one evening before bed and found myself not able to put the book down until I had finished the whole book that evening. It is a very captivating book that draws you into the world of the characters. It is very realistic and leaves you feeling connected to the characters. Tho book deals with topics that most teens are facing today but shows how to tackle those choices with courage and dignity. I highly reccomend reading this alongside your teenager.

I never thought, that as an adult, a book found under the genre of young adult/teen fiction would draw me in so deeply, but Nothing But Trouble After Midnight hooked me from the very beginning. I couldn't put it down, and sat and read it in one sitting. My heart ached right along with Chloe as she faced the struggles of peer pressure, abstinence, and so many other obstacles that teens must face today...I was comfortable in sharing this book with my 13 year old daughter.

I picked up Nothing But Trouble After Midnight with mild skepticism at best. Being a HUGE Jane Austen fan, I thought "nothing could draw me in, captivate me until the last page and leave me wanting more like a great Austen romance can."... Obviously, not written in 18th century Georgian England, but with the same ascerbic wit and the characters ability to make fun of themselves, Kim Blackadar left me wanting another installment of her book.

Angela Barthauer

Smartly written, Nothing but Trouble after Midnight pulled me in from the very first page. Blackadar creates a world in which real people encounter the joys of youthful innocence, as well as the disappointment and disillusionment that sometimes comes with experience. Audiences of all ages will be enthralled by this amazing story.

Is Kimberly Blackadar the modern Jane Austen? I'll leave that judgement up to the reader. In Nothing but Trouble After Midnight we have the mating, dating, waiting, baiting, hating, berating that characterize the behavior of teenage girls. The early chapters are light, fun, easy reading...Why did I have trouble focusing my eyes on the last page? Perhaps the air was dry. Perhaps I should admit that I was emotionally touched. Highly recommended.
