Maren works in a dream shop, where she creates dreams.... and there is only one rule: never give a person a dream without their consent. Maren’s sister is in a coma and Maren decides to give her sister a dream...without her consent. She steals a dream and gives it to Hallie as a birthday gift, too bad for her, someone caught her on video and now she is being blackmailed. Thus begins the spiral of bad decisions for Maren as she gets deeper and deeper into the mess she created. More people are put at risk and if she doesn’t fix it soon the whole town and her family are at risk. With strange nightmares tormenting people and a sinister customer who has taken a particular interest in Maren, things are not looking good. Heres the thing, this story has all the foundations of a great fairytale, the only part I just couldn’t really connect to were the characters. I did not like any of them except for the bird. As the story progresses and more things go wrong, I just found myself not rooting for the characters. The story then wraps up and everything is seemingly fine with no consequences for anyone. The entire world of the book is very interesting and the magic dream system was fun to learn about. While this book didn’t work out for me, maybe it will for you. Definitely give it a read and see if it’s worthy of sweet dreams or nightmares.
