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….

“These books were wonderful! They are short quick reads that anyone from age 15/16 and up would enjoy. Which is part of why I think it recently won the ALA’s award Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers.
“McMann’s concept of a girl who can fall in and out of someone’s dream at any given moment is refreshingly original. Her character Janie has lived a hard life and has a hard time learning to trust anyone but herself. Although she soon finds out that that may be her only way to survive the dreams and sometimes nightmares she must endure. If I had any hang up about this series it would have to do with some more mature scenes in the second book. Thus, the 15/16 or older recommendation. Other than that, a great series that will have you glued to the book until the very last page!”
