The Nightmare Virus by Nadine Brandes
4.0
The Nightmare Virus is pitched as Gladiator meets Inception, and it fits those comp titles. From the very first chapter, The Nightmare Virus pulls you in, leaving you ready to find out what happens next. There were a couple instances where the passage of time in the Awake felt like it passed a little unrealistically, but those were likely because the plot needed to get back to the Nightmare.
Nadine doesn't shy away from hard, tough topics and themes in The Nightmare Virus, yet all of them are dealt with carefully and with hope. Nadine's own passions and loves are clear in the story.
It might be because I read The Nightmare Virus essentially in one sitting, but I was a little confused on how exactly some parts of the Nightmare worked from the storyworld science. Though, the story is more science-fantasy, so maybe the parts I'm confused about fall more under the fantasy umbrella.
