Dream Trespasser


Rating: 4.5/5
Review: This is a super fast read. I don't recall seeing this style of writing before, either. The author has written out the story in very clipped sentences, and I don't think there is a single paragraph in the whole book. It works very well, though, and has certainly made me crave for more. Janie is a teenager who unwillingly gets sucked into other people's dreams. Most of the time, it's just someone's embarassing fears or fantasies, but sometimes they are very scary nightmares. This story seemed more like a very long introduction or prologue, so I am very curious what will take place in the next book. Will Janie get control of her dream power? Will she develop new powers? Will she and Cabel have a lasting relationship? How will she handle college? What kind crime will she help bring to justice next? I can assure you that I am very anxious to find out.
Book Description:
Not all dreams are sweet.
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 — 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 and can't control.
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....
