Dusty is a dream feeder – in order to maintain her energy, she must feed on other’s dreams. The person whose dreams draw her most is, unfortunately, Eli, one of the most popular boys at school. And the way she has been taught to draw the dreams is down right embarrassing, should she be caught. When the pair share a dream where they watch a fellow classmate get murdered, Eli and Dusty are packed up and sent to the Arkwell Academy, a place for people with powers like Dusty’s. There, Dusty is still an outcast, while Eli, who has absolutely no value except as Dusty’s “dinner”, is still popular. Bu the pair are supposed to be working together to solve a murder – or several murders. Now Dusty’s absent mother has returned, the twists an complications have deepened and the danger is even greater than anyone expected.
I thought this was a very good, tense horror/fantasy book. It held my attention and I am looking forward to reading more. Then was nothing overtly ‘mature’ in the book – just that whoever taught Dusty to feed told her she had to straddle her victim’s chest to do it. Weird.
