Overview :
Mr. Sandman, send me a dream, ta da da da.....Seventeen year old Chastity Blake knows the Sandman is just a silly children's story parents tell their children to get them to sleep. At least she thought it was, until the day a mysterious, light golden sand appeared in her hands during a high school prank that went horribly wrong. A sand that has the power to send anyone it touches into a deep, sound sleep.
Fearing she had lost her mind, Chastity soon discovers the shocking truth of her heritage- she is a Dream Caster. Chastity was never supposed to be raised on the Domain, or what humans call Earth and she is forced to return to her true birth place, Revera – the world of Dreams.
However, in Revera there is no balance between good, the Light Casters, and darkness, the Shadow Casters, and Chastity is caught square in the middle. She soon learns that there is no place for anyone containing both the light and the darkness within them, and the shocking truth that if anyone in Revera ever discovered her shadow self, Chastity would be thrown into the Oblivion – the world of Nightmares.
Dreams are always more than they seem, and this time Chastity is going to discover just how different they can be.
My Review :
***** 5 STARS*****
I swear, Adrienne Woods has a gift people. She had made yet another brilliant start to a new series packed with everything we've come to love and expect from her. I absolutely loved this idea and how well Woods executed this with her phenomenal writing. I definitely compared this book to her first book "Firebolt" and I got to witness how much this author as grown as a writer. This book is definitely more concise and the ideas flow beautifully and the world building is next to flawless.
The characters in this book are a lot of fun to get to know and I really admired the depth and growth with the female lead. It might just be me, but I want to see the process of a character going from normal and perhaps weak to strong and wild. I don't just want to turn the page and bam, the character had morphed into someone completely different.
The romance is light and sweet but I was totally pulling for a Max + Chas thing to happen so I was a little disappointed to see it go a different route. I seriously don't know how Woods is going to pull off the virtual realm boyfriend thing but hey, I've learned not to doubt her!
I'm totally excited for this new series and I can now add Woods to my favorite authors shelf.
