I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.This book held my interest from the very beginning. The storyline is unique. Sam's parents have moved - again. This time isolating her and her sister even more in Lacuna Valley. Suffering abuse from her mother, Sam has to figure out what her dreams mean, if they really are prophetic, and - if they are - if they can be changed or her fate is sealed. All of this while trying to protect her sister and get answers from the secretive boy to whom she is attracted, Nick.Sam and Nick, even though still in high school, are both older than their years, shouldering heavy responsibilities and making decisions that affect not only those they love, but the world. The characters are believable and the descriptions brought the setting to life for me.The drama and suspense in this book kept me from putting it down. However, there are also light-hearted scenes, and even some that had me laughing out loud. What an emotional roller coaster - happiness, grief, outrage, disappointment, anxiety, love... I enjoy Faith McKay's writing style as well.This is a really good start to a series, and more than a few questions are left unanswered. In the end, I was left wanting the next book to find out what happens next - now, please!
