I wasn’t actually expecting it to be as good it was but I was pleasantly surprised, kept me engaged from start to finish , I will say I was hoping that clementine would’ve fought more but it always seemed like Jude came in last second and the mating bond tbh I felt like I could’ve done without. Overall though it was interesting and I will be reading the second book!

SUMMARY:
The scariest school on earth is about to experience real fear… Most schools are about being the best. This school? It’s about being the worst. Calder Academy is where the rogue paranormals go. The ones who break the rules or lose control. And when that happens for vamps, werewolves, witches, and dark fae? It gets pretty freaking scary. Clementine Calder should know. Because she's trapped there. Look, every seventeen-year-old girl thinks their mom is a tyrant. But hers just happens to run Calder Academy, which paints a giant target on her back. The way she makes it through those dark halls is by steering clear of the things―and kids―who go bump in the night. Especially Jude Abernathy-Lee. But when a freak storm hits their isolated island, Clementine is stuck without a backup plan. The power is gone. The lights are out. And their worst nightmares are suddenly real―and out for blood. Now the only way to survive is to align herself with one evil to avoid the other. And the only thing worse than the idea of getting close to Jude? Secretly loving every minute of it.
REVIEW:
Sweet Nightmare is the first book in the Calder Academy series, a Crave series spin-off, and my first book by Tracy Wolff. I found the sprayed edges attractive that I decided to buy the book without knowing it was a spin-off of a previous series. I came into this series without any previous knowledge. I found Clementine a very interesting character who happened to be born, raised and has never left the Island where Calder Academy was opened to keep all the young rogue paranormals who have broken the rules or lost control. Jude has been at Calder Academy almost as long as Clementine so they had been friends for years until three years ago when he stopped talking to her after he kissed her for the first time.When Clementine was yelling at Jude then he just unexpectedly grabs her into his arms and kisses her I knew they would become a couple. The moment that Clementine saw the pregnant woman ghost out in the storm in a nightgown that was all in color instead of gray I knew this ghost was important to Clementine.
I found it so heartwarming when Jude confesses to Clementine that he couldn't exist in a world without her in it as they both have been going through so much in such a short time. It was so emotional the moment Clementine saw that Eva was truly gone after she suddenly burst into flames that wouldn't go out. It was such a surprising moment when Clementine finds out that her mother adopted her from her bio mom that died after giving birth to her and that her entire life was a big lie. Like the title says it's all nightmare but in the end Clementine and Jude find the sweetest nightmare is not scary at all. Tracy Wolff delivered a roller coaster of emotional moments that had me gasping in shock, sadness, a bit of anger and had my head spinning trying to figure out how things would end with all the death and shocking discoveries. The cliffhanger will hopefully be answered in Sweet Chaos.

If you liked the Crave series and you are thinking about reading this book, let me talk you out of it. Yes, Izzy and Remy are in this, at least their names. The Izzy and Remy in this book have lost their personalities. I know I loved Hudson. He’s one of my book boyfriends, but Jude is the most boring MMC ever written. There is no chemistry between Clementine and Jude. The plot was boring. In the mist of the storm, every horrible thing that could happen does. Once you start to get questions answered, something horrible happens that leads our FMC to the brink of tears. I’m surprised not all her friends were killed off. Clementine was not well written. Her powers were just as chaotic as the plot. The side characters are completely forgettable. Nothing like the characters in Crave. Basically, just reread Crave or pick a different book, because you will be disappointed if you read this. It’s amazing that it was written by the same author as Crave.
