“Supremely suspenseful. The action builds like a storm on the horizon . . . You may think you’re ready when the lightning strikes, but you’re not. It’s everywhere at once and never lets up. You can’t put down The Neighborhood.”
—David Ricciardi, author of the Jake Keller series from Berkley Publishing
“An action-packed, bloody, highly immersive thriller that is guaranteed to elicit fist-pumps and gasps from readers . . . Think Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Under Siege, and The Rock . . . Big props to Matthew Betley for crafting a fun, edge-of-your-seat thriller . . . A very enjoyable experience!”
