Editorial Reviews

Christine cannot deny her attraction to Gabriel, the hot new guy at the library where she works. From the beginning, trouble seems to follow him but she cannot stay away. Soon, Christine begins to encounter Gabriel in her dreams—dreams so lifelike that it is hard to distinguish them from reality. Gabriel has been pulled into a strange dream world for years, where he has been pursued and attacked. The problem is that when he wakes up, the injuries are real. Now Christine is a part of this world and he cannot protect her because he does not understand what is happening himself. In the dream world, Christine encounters Leo, who makes her feel safe and makes Gabriel feel jealous. He becomes one more complication in a difficult situation. This intriguing story is told from both Christine’s and Gabriel’s point of view in alternating chapters. Each is struggling to understand how their dreams can endanger their lives, and how to escape from that danger. They are also exploring their growing romantic relationship. Gabriel and Christine will both have to decide if their purpose in life is linked to each other, or if they need to separate and work toward the greater good. This part-adventure/part-romance will keep readers on the edge of their seats while trying to figure out where it all will end. This will appeal to fans of the Abandon series by Meg Cabot. Reviewer: Deborah L. Dubois; Ages 15 to 18.
