We will start reading this book in December 6th.

Please feel free to join in and read with us at any time :)


Description: The dreamers walk among us . . . and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming – they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives – they will sleep forever if their dreamers die.

And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them before their dreams destroy us all.

Ronan Lynch is a dreamer. He can pull both curiosities and catastrophes out of his dreams and into his compromised reality.

Jordan Hennessy is a thief. The closer she comes to the dream object she is after, the more inextricably she becomes tied to it.

Carmen Farooq-Lane is a hunter. Her brother was a dreamer . . . and a killer. She has seen what dreaming can do to a person. And she has seen the damage that dreamers can do. But that is nothing compared to the destruction that is about to be unleashed. . . .

I started. I didn't realize this was a spinoff of The Raven Boys series! I already know I'm going to love it just because of that! And Ronan! I'm going to have to re-read that series some day.

That said, I'm not in love with the narrator. He sounds like he's trying to make his voice wispy and mysterious...but it's not working well for him, lol.

Just started. I hate when I don't like the narrator.

Ronan's gift would be so amazing, but he has so little control over it that it controls his life. I feel bad for him.

This is the same narrator as the other books. Ronan's gift is but control is a necessity.

I think it would be pretty awesome to have a bunch of clones of myself. I would have one go to work for me, one clean, one cook...I could read all day, lol.

I think I might have read the other books...I can't remember now it's been a few years. But the narrator grew on me. I was used to him by the end.

We did a buddy read for them. Blue was one of the MC. The narrator mentions Blue.

I read them, I just meant I don't think I listed to the audio but read the actual book. It's one of my favorite series.

Oh, I thought we did the audio books together.

I take it back I don't want the dreaming ability...the cost is too high. Poor Matthew!

I know I read the first two for sure...might have listened to the last two. I honestly can't remember now :)

I know! I love Matthew! All of the brothers lives are messed up because of the dreaming...Ronan's or the father's.

Yes, their lives were messed up. I feel sorry for all of them. Declan had to be the one to keep them together and take care of them. Ronan struggled with the dreaming and Matthew was totally oblivious to everything. Glad Ronan and Hennessy team up. Totally not a fan of the hunters. They are crazy. I enjoy it. Look forward to seeing what happens next.

Congrats Sheri!
