Thank you to Netgally, the publishers, and Kevin Craig for allowing me to read and review this book.
I honestly do not know where to start with this review. I though about putting it down and DNFing it several times. However, something continuously drew me in and made me keep reading. Which honestly, is kind of fantastic considering that is what the Book of Dreams in the book does to the main character.
This book was gripping and an interesting read. It was also a quick read. At points it was a little hard to follow, but never too bad that you couldn't figure everything out.
I am unsure of how to feel about [arts of this book because I have grown up reading a lot of adult horror books, but never really any young adult horror books. In my opinion, there was a lot of unnecessary cursing and relationship details within this book. Some people may think I am being homophobic because the main character is in a gay relationship, however I feel the same way about the gay couple and the straight couple in this book. It is a horror book, not a romance, I do not need the details of their relationships. In my opinion it added nothing to the story.
Overall, this was a pretty good book, but definitely not a favorite for me. But, to each their own, and I am sure there are plenty of people out there that this book would be well suited for.
