Short Synopsis: Eryn lives in a town called RedGrave where practically everyone has a special power. Eryn, being part wolven, must learn to control her wolf before things get worse. But before she can do that, the town is being haunted by a night mare. A horrible monster that preys on innocents through their night mares.
My Thoughts: Easy to follow along to, with interesting characters, and a paranormal aspect with every page.
Eryn lives in a town called RedGrave where almost everyone has a secret. Her best friend Brit can shapeshift into a bird, Eryn herself has the power to shapeshift into a wolf, and she is also good friends with Matt and Alec who are healers.
So the paranormal world isn't anything new to Eryn and the gang, but when an ancient demon comes through town tormenting innocents through their night mares, Eryn and the gang must do everything they can, to keep the innocents safe.
But things don't exactly go as planned, when all Eryn can think about is her worst night mare, hurting and killing Alec when Eryn turns into a wolf. And things get even more complicated when Wade has been missing for weeks, but Eryn can hear his thoughts, but has no way of communicating with him. And on top of it all, Paige, Eryn's cousin seems to have a weird case of amnesia after the spell that a fellow friend, Kate, put on her to forget about an incident. Eryn must find a way to banish the ancient demon, fix Paige, and figure out her feelings between Alec and Wade.
I hadn't realized that this was part of a series. Without having read the first one, it was very easy to follow along to, with interesting paranormal events with every turn of the page. Eryn, the main character is a strong willed, independent individual, who has her own personal demons to face. I loved the fact that this book was filled with so many different paranormal aspects, that reading this book was never a dull moment.
I enjoyed reading the love triangle between Eryn, Alec, and Wade, and wanted to find out more. The relationship between Eryn and Alec was sweet and caring, while the relationship between Eryn and Wade was dark and mysterious. And though she seems to be trusting Wade more than she does Alec, it'll be very interesting to see who she really ends up with.
It was very entertaining to read how each character's night mares were different, and the significance behind it. It was also interesting to read that an actual town was filled with paranormal creatures. The fact that everyone has a different power mixed with a night mare demon, made everything much more creepy. Overall, an awesome read, with interesting characters, and a town filled with twists and turns at every angle.
Would I recommend this book: Yes
Rating: I give this book a 4/5.
