and it’s the last thing she can think of. The dream is supposed to fight all of the nightmares and fill is head with very good dreams and refill his mind with fragments of goodness. Will it be enough to stop the nightmares and save him?

In the beginning, this story was a bit confusing for me. But, I liked the suspense and the horror of this book. So if you like horror this is the book for you. Also I loved how the book got my attention right away. This was an interesting book from start to finish.
