"brilliant reading"
For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other
people's dreams is getting old. Especially the falling
dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-
crazed dreams. Janie's seen enough fantasy booty to last
her a lifetime. She can't tell anybody about what she does because they'd
never believe her, or worse, they'd think she's a freak. So
Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she
doesn't want, can't control and doesn't understand. Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills
her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a
witness to someone else's twisted psyche. She is a
participant and it opens a whole new life for her. At first I found it hard to get into this book. With the
time frame switching back and forth to Janie at different
ages, I found it difficult to get to know the character and
understand what was happening. After about 20 or 30 pages I
managed to get settled into the way things worked and who
Janie was and what she could do. Then things got really
good. This new, unique and haunting idea makes for brilliant
reading. I am left very impressed and can't wait to read
more about Janie and her abilities. The plot was
outstanding and the twists in the story kept me reading all
the way through in one gulp. Now I am looking forward to
book two and can't wait to see how the romantic aspect
grows!
