Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that are eagerly anticipated.
This week, I’m waiting on Dreamland by Robert L. Anderson, which has an expected release date of September 22, 2015.
Odea Donahue has been able to travel through people’s dreams since she was six years old. Her mother taught her the three rules of walking: Never interfere. Never be seen. Never walk the same person’s dream more than once. Dea has never questioned her mother, not about the rules, not about the clocks or the mirrors, not about moving from place to place to be one step ahead of the unseen monsters that Dea’s mother is certain are right behind them.
Then a mysterious new boy, Connor, comes to town and Dea finally starts to feel normal. As Connor breaks down the walls that she’s had up for so long, he gets closer to learning her secret. For the first time she wonders if that’s so bad. But when Dea breaks the rules, the boundary between worlds begins to deteriorate. How can she know what’s real and what’s not?
This is giving me a lot of Inception vibes, which is a huge compliment since I loved that movie. I love the idea of dream walking, so I’m expecting lots of creepy nightmare monsters to make an appearance!
Which books are you waiting on? Leave me a link or a list to your Waiting on Wednesday post below.
This sounds really interesting. For some reason when you mentioned nightmare monsters, I thought of one of the monsters in a video game I used to play. A gnarly twisted creature made of shadows.
Shadow creatures sound creepy, yet intriguing! Which game are they from?
Ummm, I think it was from the Prince of Persia games. Always loved those.
