hidden fantasies and uncover their deepest, darkest secrets…without them ever
knowing?

But when she starts seeing dreams that aren’t hers, she learns more than she ever wanted to know about her friends, her classmates…and a strange, terrifying man whose dreams could get Sara killed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sara Barnes is a junior in college
with a pre-med major. Like most of us, she
rarely remembers her dreams. She certainly
doesn’t remember that she’s been having the same dream, two or three nights a
week, all semester. Then in November,
the dreams change and she realizes she is dreaming about the cute boy in the
dorm next door, and it’s not her dream, but his, and she remembers them when
she awakes. It’s kind of romantic when
she meets Brian Alderson, the boy from her/his dream and it is love at first
sight. It’s bad when she knows the dreams of her friends and neighbors. It’s worse when an unknown man shares his
dreams of murder. It is the worst when
she sees the newspaper headlines that prove the dreams are not just
dreams. What can she do about what she
has seen?
This was an easy, comfortable
read. This is a paranormal thrill with a
good dash of college romance. The story
is written from Sara’s point-of-view and is filled with the angsty drama-rich
feelings and perceptions of a college-aged girl.
I have fallen in love with Brian,
Sara, their families, their friends, and their classmates. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of
the books in this series. I already have
them downloaded and on my calendar to read in the next few weeks (reviews to be
released on blog tour dates).
