"Waiting On" Wednesday (41): The Nightmare Affair


"Waiting On" Wednesday...is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm excitedly waiting on....

16-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she’s a criminal. No, she’s a Nightmare. Literally. Dusty is a magical being who feeds on human dreams.
Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother’s infamy is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker’s house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He’s hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn’t get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder. The setting is Arkwell.
And then it comes true.
Now Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she’s up to and marks her as the next target.

I just love the premise of this book; it sounds so darkly whimsical and captivating! I don't think I've ever read a book about a person being an actual Nightmare, but how wicked awesome does that idea sound?! I can't wait to jump into Dusty's story, plus I'm all about that purple cover.

There is a Nightmare named Sabine in the Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent! I love the idea of a whole book about that type of paranormal person! Sounds awesome!
