Marianne is about to discover if nightmares are real.
Something is wrong with Marianne. It's not just that her dad has finally left, or that her life hasn't been the same since she quit dancing. Or even that her mother has checked herself into a hospital.
She's losing time. Doing things she'd never do. And the face in the mirror doesn't look like her own. Marianne's not sure what to believe. Is something after her, or is she following in her mother's footsteps?
Marianne doesn't trust herself, but she does trust the only person in town who's willing to try to help, the daughter of the local physic. But the more the two dig into what's wrong, the more the line between nightmare and reality is blurred. And Marianne has to figure out what's real before she loses everything.

I not a typical creepy story reader i tend to read more fantasy or middle grade fanatsy but every once in a while ya need a good creepy story. The epic creepy events that happen to Marianne through out this story hit on all the right levels. Floating, objects, doors slamming, evil voices belonging to who knows what. I was on the edge the entire ride until we got to the end where all is revealed and to be honest it was a let down. Not what i was expecting to be the mysterious force or being. It had a great solid story tell the final last bit of the story. My major failing for me was this book is suppose to echo black swan and i never seen it so that might be part of the downfall for the story. It ended up just being so so. Great on the scary side just not so great on the final conclusion.
