I'm obsessed by the Crave series and I was super excited to read this one. But this was a huge disappointment. I'm not the targeted audience I know, but neither am I for the Crave series.
The only resemblance between Crave and this book is the short chapters, funny titles and the characters of Izzy and Remy. And while the chapters are short the story is dragged out so much that at 70% of the book I was thinking if I should DNF it.
The hurricane was driving me nuts. At one point the story turned so dark that I was thinking if I was reading a horror story and not a YA book. There was so much death but most of these characters I didn't even care about because I didn't know anything about them. There was every single paranormal and mythology character that ever appeared in any literature and it was just too much. On the other hand we knew mostly nothing about their powers or anything deeper about these characters. Once they got their powers back, all they did was fighting each other without any logical reason. Even outside in a category 5 hurricane, that's all they did! I'm sorry but paranormals or not, that's not anyone's instinct behaviour in such weather, not to mention they won't be able to even stand outside.
The main character couldn't catch a break, not even for 5 seconds! The crap just kept going and going, dragged out to the max and beyond. I was waiting for a part where the FMC would finally sit down with friends, watch movies, chat about love interests and do their manicure or anything normal but nope, not a chance. Just a huge dumpster fire of her life.
The teachers and headmaster are an absolute dud. Waiting with evacuation, not functioning in any situation, not being proper authorities at all.
I was excited for Izzy and Remy but I felt there was not enough of them in this story. I don't get why Remy ended up in this awful school, what terrible thing did he do?
And did I ever mention there was a category 5 hurricane???

this book is the bane of my existence. i finished it, although i have no idea how. the entire thing was mediocre. i thought that maybe the author's writing had matured since the crave series, but i was wrong. the characters were underdeveloped, flat, and all together barely enjoyable. over 80% of this book is clementine pining for jude with just a bit of plot thrown in. there was absolutely no tension between the love interests at all. no buildup, no falling in love. the story started with them already in love so we didn't get to see any romantic development. Sweet Nightmares was so stereotypical i felt like i was thrown into 2014 wattpad. not to mention the MULTIPLE plotholes or unanswered questions which is unforgivable even if it's in a series. and the entire book only spanned not even a week apparently??

At first I wasn’t sure this book was for me. But then I gave it a second chance and ended up enjoying the ride.
It’s def YA and takes place at a magical school for magical delinquents. Imagine if Umbridge was the professor and Percy Jackson and co were students and you start to touch the vibe of the story. Def fun will probably read the rest of the series as it comes out.
