*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest reviewI haven't read too many dream walker books so the premise of this one intrigued me. I liked the idea of being able to get lost in your dreams for however long you wanted without worrying about eating or the outside world. The problem is that Emily's mother does this dream walking to be with her deceased husband and to hell with the outside world, including Emily. So Emily is left to fend for herself and hide away why her mom, a best selling author, isn't around. She resents her mother and her "ability" and doesn't understand why she chooses her dead husband over her very living daughter. Add to the mix the very curious, very attractive new boy at school, Gabe.I enjoyed this story about Emily and her dream walking capabilities. I think that Emily is a strong character and I love her sarcasm and wit. Gabe seems like he would be a decent guy for Emily, if he can get past his mild curiosity of Emily's mother. The story is well written and very engaging to the reader. It's suspenseful because you enter someone else's dream world and you're not sure where you are going to end up or what you are going to see. It's pretty amazing. There were a couple of things that were left unexplained and I'm wondering about them. I don't think it would be a spoiler to say that I would like to know why, when Emily touches Gabe, she gets an actual electrical "surge" or shock, or why Emily seems to have more nightmares than her mother. Other than that, I give Dream On 4 books.
