Another great one in the series, but this one was slightly different with the twist with the next dreamer. And the big twist at the end that I definitely didn’t see coming....I’m interested to see what happens with that!

I remember when I saw the Grand Canyon. This book got me to see more about it even though it is about to end with Sam last nightmare.

[Sean Harding · Rating 2 out of 5]

More action and 'dreams' with little substance as the series passes the half way point. At this moment thirteen books seems a long series for what this is.

[Anna Field · Rating 4 out of 5]

In a twist of events Sam gets played and ends up in the mortal peril he never dreamed of.

[Cami · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting part of the series where we find out that-- Woah-- the lines between good and evil can be blurred! And that there may be more to the story than we've been led to believe.

Friends and enemies are learning that all isn't as it seems!

[Christine Ku · Rating 3 out of 5]

Here we see a major game changer in this series and I find that refreshing. Still got me and I’m reading on.

Sam finds the next dreamer only to discover that he knows more than he is letting on. Cody's parents are also in on his betrayal. But with so many enemies how can Sam found out if it's Solaris, or Hans, or Mac, or even Stella and her rogue enterprise agents. Can Eva, Lora and the rest of the last 13 help Sam as he is trapped under the Denver international airport. And Alex has problems of his own when Phoebe goes missing. It all comes to an epic conclusion when Solaris arrives and a nuclear bomb is waiting to go off.

These books seem to just get better and better. I also think the writing is getting a little better too.

It is great to see Eva and Alex have a little more action and play in the final 13 dreamers. Sam continues to be amazing and have amazing, sometimes terrifying adventures.

As in the other books, this one ended in suspense. If you read this series I recommend having them all before you start reading. You are going to want to pick up the next one right away and will be really upset if you can't.

[Alex Fairhill · Rating 3 out of 5]

There's another good change of pace in this book - and it's great to see Eva getting into the action.

Allegiances are twisting again, and Sam and Eva are starting to question their pasts, which is helping to flesh out their characters.
