Dream a Little Dream (The Silver Trilogy, #1)

by Kerstin Gier

Liv has been dealing with a lot lately. She and her family have just moved in with her mother's new boyfriend in London, and she's starting over (again) at a new school. But Liv isn't sure that explains her dreams, which have gone from odd to...well, bizarre. Lately, her nighttime hours have been filled with talking stone statues, mysterious corridors, and creepy rituals conducted by four boys in a graveyard. The strangest part is that Liv recognizes the boys. They're classmates from her new school, and they seem to know things about her that they couldn't possibly know...unless they actually are in her dreams? Luckily, Liv never could resist a good mystery, and all four of those boys are pretty cute...

[Amber (The Literary Phoenix)]

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM is a delightful little story about a girl who finds herself wrapped up in her new classmates' demonic rituals that take place in their dreams and if that isn't enough of a hook to keep you reading, then there's no hope for you. This book is fun to read, with the same easy flow that's indicative of Gier's other work. While the relationship growth is a bit quick for my tastes, it's sweet and filled with metaphorical butterflies and hand holding, so that's adorable.

Honestly, this isn't the best book in the world, but I did like it. I enjoyed the experience of reading it, even though it didn't feel like the most compelling story. The dream world was interesting and I'm looking forward to exploring it more in the rest of the trilogy.

Initial Thoughts: Original concept; I definitely haven't read a book like this before. However, the rules of the game are confusing and the outcome was really unclear. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to believe or how this is leading into a sequel.
