BLURB:
For Christine, dreams have never meant much. Until she meets Gabriel.
Everyone thinks Christine should stay away from her new coworker at the
library-thanks to his bad reputation-but when her dreams grow more vivid and
she becomes entangled in a dangerous dream world with Gabriel every night, she
can't stay away. Soon it's clear there is far more to dreams than Christine
ever imagined, and now she's on the path to making the biggest, and strangest,
decision of her life.
EXCERPT:
I walked down a moonlit street. It smelled like
smoldering autumn leaves but there was no chill in the air. Wind slowly blew
through the trees and made their leaves whisper. Everything else was quiet.
The wind curled around me, but this time it brought
a few drops of rain with it. Glancing at the sky, I noticed clouds gathering
over the moon. It dawned on me that I should get back home and go to bed. I
looked around and, for the first time, realized I wasn’t in my neighborhood.
This neighborhood resembled a set from a musical rather than a real street. The
houses were big and imposing, like something from My Fair Lady. At any moment,
I expected to see Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn strolling toward me. The
thought of wandering through an old movie scene, alone, at night caused cold
goose bumps to rise on my arms. Keep it together, Christine. I tried to stay
reasonable.
Was it safer to go back the way I’d come or keep
going into unknown territory? I didn’t remember going for a walk anyway.
Basically, turning back was no different than continuing on. I took another
quick scan of the street to see if anyone else was out. Nothing stirred. Even
the wind had deserted me.
I tried to grab hold of my courage. There had to be
a logical explanation for this and it wasn’t like I could have wandered too far
from home. I decided my best bet was to turn around and go the way I’d
apparently come. Maybe something would look familiar eventually and I’d be
snuggled in my bed soon.
I turned and the wind rushed past my ears.
“Christine,” it sighed, producing the effect of ice water dripping down my
spine. The voice was soft, but I had not imagined it.
