Running From Nightmares: Roommates from Hell Book 1

by Sara Hinds

About this book

Aerilyn

They say karma always comes back around. They lied.

I was the perfect daughter. I mastered languages I never spoke, played recitals I didn’t enjoy, and followed a blueprint for a life that wasn't mine. I was a legacy-builder, a currency to be traded. I accepted that I wouldn’t marry for love; my parents sold my life away to a man who hides his rot behind a designer suit.

I’ve spent my life being an extension of someone else. Now, I’m just a girl with a half-tank of gas, a bag of secrets, and scars that won’t ever fade away. I’m seeking sanctuary in the shadows, hoping the world is big enough to hide me.

But the shadows in this city are alive. And the men I’ve just moved in with? They aren't just dangerous—they’re impossible.

Kai Coming "topside" with my brothers was supposed to be a vacation from the abyss. A piece of cake, as the mortals say. But apparently, you eat one measly human, and suddenly you’re the "problem." Now, I’d take the wailing of lost souls over my brother Asta’s constant nagging any day.

Our mission was simple: blend in, keep our heads down, and find out what the angels are up to.

We need a human to hide our scents, but we didn’t need a fucking charity case. She’s jumpy, she’s human, and she’s lugging around enough trauma to drown a lesser demon.

Of all the humans in all the world, why did it have to be her?

Running from Nightmares is book one in the Roommates from Hell series.

This series features multiple love interests and does end on a cliffhanger.

Demons, Angels and a human walk into a bar...

October 29, 2024

This book left me speechless and looking for more. I knew it ended on a cliffhanger but that one was so unexpected.... First off I had no idea how complex this was going to be. Its a case of everything lining up in a perfect storm. Where Angels and Demons are at odds a human keeps the peace....well sort of..... I love that each of the demons has such distinct personalities. You want a shy golden retriever? You want a brooding antisocial male? You want your playful one who knows everyone loves...

Angels

Wow wow wow! First demon and angels book I’ve ever read and it was soooo good! Aeri is on the run from him, will she ever get far enough away? Her luck is bad,so breaking down on the side of the road doesn’t come as a shock. Little does she know this unexpected stop might just be the best thing to ever happen to her! This book ends in a cliffhanger so beware )

Demons and a mortal

July 27, 2025

Loved this story and the characters. Their dynamic is so good. Asta, Kai, Bast and Talian are demons who need a mortal to hide them and Aeri is running from a past she never wanted. When her car breaks down she must find a room for rent and she never realized how lucky she got with the roommates she found. They will keep her safe if they can. I can’t wait for the next book since this ended on a cliffhanger ) One person found this helpful

Great start to new series from an author I haven't read yet. I can't wait to start book two to see what happens. Yes this book ends on a cliff hanger but its not too bad. )

Honestly out of all of Sara Hinds books this one is my least favorite. The idea of the story is there but I just couldn't get into the character's the personalities the guys were kinda lackluster. Aeri was just way to trusting and just went with everything remember always question everything. I'll still be reading book 2 I have to know how things will go. ) 3 people found this helpful
