This was especially true as the dangers of dream walking came out Whim's behavior and writings made me very worried. Will's temptations made me fret. It was a stressful book The neat thing was learning more about the politics of the Dream Walkers and dream theory in general. It's a bit confusing but I still found it fascinating.
The teens head into Death to get Feodor to help. There are rules in Death, but one of them is that they can't take their shoes off. All the other rules make sense, but that one didn't. The end is intense and a bit depressing.

I loved the first novel in the series, Dreamfire, which leads me to be very surprised how much I disliked Dreamfever. It was hard to read with a lot of boring The second installment of the Dreamfire series, Dream fever continues the story of Josh and her friends, family and enemies. It was hard to read with a lot of boring inner dialogue that did not effectively move the plot along.
I found I could not reconnect with any of the characters in this book, which saddens me because of how much I loved them in the previous novel. They had lost some of the depth that made them interesting in the first place, and with the new character randomly thrown in, I felt very disconnected from the story. Plot wise, everything was slow and unsatisfying. I really could not get into the novel no matter how hard I tried.
I definitely do not recommend this novel. Want more of me? Aug 14, Serpent rated it liked it Shelves: Much improved from the previous book. I found Josh and her struggle with power lust a much more intriguing internal conflict, and Will felt much more human as he dealt with more self issues rather than playing therapist for everyone else.
The plot also felt like it have a more engaging pace, the villains plans were less comically evil and more believably dictatorial. While I thought I would be disgusted with the implementation of a lost princess, Mirren was a delightful character. Her sense of d Much improved from the previous book. Her sense of duty was admirable, but she still felt like a very real person as she walked towards what she thought would be her end with her fears about what demise she might bring upon herself in order to do what she felt was right.
My only major grievance is that while Josh's grandfather makes for a good villain, he's also a very predictable one. This isn't bad in and of itself, but it was rather frustrating that you could know from the moment he opposes Mirren's bid for power that he was going to use dream staging against her. Because he's evil, and because supports staging. Despite that, none of the characters ever guessed it until someone realizes what he's up to not from simple logical deduction, but by having a hallucination that they chose to believe in.
A predictable villain is good and fine, but a villain who the heroes have trouble figuring out needs to not be predictable.

The full review is available on The Basic Bookworm Dreamfever by Kit Alloway is a young adult novel that consists of genres including fantasy, romance and mystery. In comparison to Dreamfire , there was diversity among the characters. Each personality was different, which made the plot more realistic and interesting. Also, the secondary characters made a bigger appearance in this book, which I am grateful for.

Mentioning negative ion generators, copper cages and transmitters just left me confused. This is coming from someone who despises maths and the majority of science. I really liked the second prologue, as it was intense. In this prologue, the kiss that they shared was so wrong, but so right.
Feb 08, J. Dominique rated it really liked it Shelves: Honestly, I'm quite impressed with this series. I always have a soft spot for stories that tackle things like psychological traumas and background so Dreamfire and now its sequel have really handled the topics well and realistically. Like most sequels, this book is mainly a "reaction" book to the first.

I never thought I'd love a series that dea First of all I want to say thank you to Kit Alloway for writing this amazing series, second to Goodreads for letting me have a chance to read this sequel via Giveaways at to Griffin Books.
I never thought I'd love a series that deals with physics, light theory and quantum mechanics so much. We find Josh reeling in the aftermath of Feodor's terror from the last book. Dealing with her realization that she is more than likely the True Dream Walker. Everyone is injured, physically and mentally, Josh is being literally haunted in her dreams, Windsor is souless in a coma, Peregrine is still grappling for control and power the evil bastard.
We meet a lost princess. Will and Josh are at odds with each other. And who could forget Feodor. He just doesn't seem to actually ever go away, even in death he still permeates everything and everyone whispering in everyone's minds and ears. It was a great sequel!
Can't wait for the next chapter. I highly recommend if you read Dreamfire to pick Dreamfever up as well! Feb 16, Serenity rated it it was amazing. I got so excited to get my hands on this book! I got the first book as a surprise and loved it. Once I dived into this book, it was like I never left. The characters, the details, everything I loved in the first book was there. Only this time, Joshlyn is still having a hard time. Being a Dream Walker is not going the way she planned.
She doesn't like her special gift, but it will come in handy. The bad thing is those nightmares. She just started to have them and its so bad that she can't tell Wi I got so excited to get my hands on this book! She just started to have them and its so bad that she can't tell Will. Things are really just complicated, but Joshlyn has always been strong.
So when the radicals come to take power and control the dream, she figures out a plan to piece her life back together. And comes up with ways to prevent anyone but them having control of the dream. Thats just how great she is.

Nope, there are bumps, but she has great people by her. There were many shocking moments in this book. Certain things I didn't expect and certain moments had me extremely hooked at the edge of my seat. I couldn't believe how much I loved this book and how it just got better and better!
Walker Family Series
I can't wait for the next one! Feb 16, Megan Murphy rated it really liked it Shelves: I received the ARC copy through goodreads giveaway. In usual teen novels the characters go through a trying time clinging to their loved ones, some drama and maybe a steamy scene. This book defies all standards! I loved how raw it was no matter how much it irked me how it ended.
I loved how this sequel showed their issues, that they are not perfect and they were struggling. This doesn't end the way you want. Literally every love connection built in the beginning of this series ended at the end. Well except for the mysterious Sam and Winsor. Although great job of making me hate will! I used to really like home but bad boy hard life story feodor has made me want to get to know him. I'm up in the air with this novel.
Yes I love it, but they showed so many realistic human emotions it's scary.
I admit I want a happy ending to a story! Hopefully the next novel will pick things up. Nov 30, Krista Switzer rated it it was amazing Shelves: I received a free copy of this book from Goodreads first reads. This books was incredible! It was full of action and suspense and I could not put this book down!
Dreamfever was a great second book to Dreamfire. I absolutely loved the first one and now after reading the second book, I have become even more eager to see how this series unfolds. The whole idea of this book is so unique and completely fascinating. Who would ever have thought of a secret group of people who fight off nightmares I received a free copy of this book from Goodreads first reads. Who would ever have thought of a secret group of people who fight off nightmares and have their own government?
This idea is so original and I absolutely love it. The second book starts off a couple of months after the events of Dreamfire unfold. Josh and Will are still recovering mentally from their encounter with Feoder and you see their relationship struggle as a result of that. Also, we have a new character in this book and her role is extremely interesting and adds a little twist and problems as a result of her identity. Overall, if you loved the first book, then you need to read the second book because it is absolutely addicting!

This book is an amazing, excellent, and insert every possible adjective meaning good you can possibly think of sequel to an equally astounding debut. On the downside, I did not know this was a sequel when I requested it so I had to do some serious catching up. I actually even started this without knowing it was a sequel, and when I found myself completely and utterly lost I realized what I had done and had to go back and find book one.

I recommend that you read Dreamfire first only because I was lost a good portion of the book trying to figure out what is happening.

Walker Family Series by Lauren Gilley

Things never took the path I predicted or even wanted half the time. But, it kept me constantly flipping pages wanting to know how things were resolved.
The book doesn't by any means end of a cliffhanger, but there is a situation left unresolved that leaves you yearning for the next book. There's lots of fun and excitement, terror and dread, and of course some romance. But, it doesn't come in the package you'll expect it to. I was soooo disa Unpredictable! I was soooo disappointed in the heroes of this story, but there's another couple that comes together and steps up in a big way. This book makes for an exciting read!
In an alternate Earth dominated by individuals with unnatural powers called Gifts, Jessica learned that there was a curse within her blood, one so feared that all who possessed it were destroyed on sight. For she was a Dreamwalker, and the same dark Gift that would allow her to enter the dreams of others would eventually destroy her mind and spread insanity to all those around her. Now she is back with her family, but there is no peace to be found. When a stranger invades her dreams and creatures from her nightmares threaten to cross into the waking universe, Jessica knows she must return to the alternate Earth where she was born and seek allies… even if doing so means she must bargain with those she fears the most.
Dreamseeker is the gripping sequel to C. The first book in the action-filled urban fantasy Dreamwalker trilogy follows Jessica Drake as she navigates the dangerous landscape of distant worlds and dimensions All her life Jessica Drake has dreamed of other worlds, some of them similar to her own, others disturbingly alien.
But now someone is asking about those dreams…and about her. A strange woman has been watching her house. A visitor to her school attempts to take possession of her dream-inspired artwork. This author is my favorite author of I'll read toilet paper if she wrote on it. This book can stand alone with no problems. To get the richness of the Walker family, you'll want to read the others in series, but you don't have to. If you pick just one in the series to read, pick 3. My favorite, but this book is very good.
So happy to be back in Gilley-land View all 4 comments. Aug 25, Saunders rated it it was amazing Shelves: This is one of the best character driven stories that I have read. It is about real life. This book is about Jordan Walker. He had big dreams of Olympic medals and golden shoes, state nationals and college and marrying the girl. Those dreams came crashing down along with the shining face of his first love.
When reality reached out with jagged claws and crippled as a bookworm there is nothing better than finding 'that' author who writes "that" story and ties everything up in a well packaged book.

Decisions have to be made - where do you draw the line between fantasy and reality and how do you decide which one you really want.

Dream of You
Nov 18, TeriLyn rated it it was amazing Shelves: She feeds my book soul so perfectly with her words and intricately woven, character driven stories. As the main focus of Dream of You is the burgeoning romance between Jordan and Ellie we see so much from the all the Walkers as the move forward in their lives. The vulnerability and humble lives of these people ensconce you as you read their stories. You feel a part of their family. A true must read series for lovers of romantic, literary family sagas.
Dec 13, Antonella rated it it was amazing Shelves: Lauren writing is soooo addicting I just can't stop reading. This is another family saga series that is such a joy to read. So real and heartwarming. I loved the lead both the h and H. And all the family bond and story line and just everything.
Yes, well really, Lauren Gilley can do no wrong. This book really had the tension and angst there the whole time. The forbidden romance, Tam'a father, Walt still being a right prick, and holy hell Elle's family. My lord were they all totally looney toons. I love seeing Tam and Jo and also Delta and Mike. The fact Delta is becoming one of my faves is a testament considering how horrible she was in book 1. I will say the dinner at Elle's family was just a giant cluster which could have been avoide Yes, well really, Lauren Gilley can do no wrong. I will say the dinner at Elle's family was just a giant cluster which could have been avoided if they just talked to each other.
But it was a pretty good blow up. Anyhoo, great story, I love this family, and on to the next book. Aug 17, Shirley rated it it was amazing. She was a perfect match for Jordon and fit in well with the Walker clan. I really liked Jordan in the previous book and he really came into his own here, they both have been hurt in the past and it was lovely to see them together learning to trust each other. I also loved the interaction with the other members of the family especially Tam and Jo, however I really want to kick Walt right in the nuts that man just makes my blood boil!!
Jun 11, Daniela rated it it was amazing Shelves: This was a great story. I've loved Jordan from the start. Him and his dry sense of humor. He's such a caring brother and person. So much so that he ruined his own chances at the "golden shoes".
