Rating: 2

Description: Years ago, Stacey had nightmares about a little girl she babysat for. Then the girl was murdered, exactly as Stacey's dreams had shown. Now, at boarding school, it's happening again. This time Stacy is dreaming about her roommate and best friend, Drea. And when Drea reveals that she's been getting mysterious phone calls, Stacey starts to worry for Drea's life. With the time until Drea's stalker plans to get her ticking down, Stacey must do all she can to figure out what her dreams are trying to tell her, before it's too late.

Review: I love the premise for this book, and had been trying to get ahold of a copy for quite some time (because I am too cheap to buy my own books). Well, I finally read it, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. The story is all angst and no plot. Nothing really happened to make me want to keep turning pages, except my desire for something to happen. "Maybe if I read another chapter, something interesting will occur." Stacey's character was nothing but angst and hormones, and her friends Drea and Amber never endeared themselves to me. Drea seems like a selfish brat, and Amber is just plain annoying. I couldn't stand having friends like those. I never noticed either of them doing anything very friend-like. Despite this, I still love the premise, and because of that I'll give the series another go. Hopefully the second installment will be more exciting than the first, and maybe there will actually be an interesting character.
