Wow! Staying up til 5am finishing this book was totally not in my plans! But once I started... I couldn't put it down! 
 Nara Collins is a typical 16 year old who leads a very unusual life. Every day she lives her life twice. Once in a dream and then again for real. When she was younger she tried to change the outcome of one of her dreams, only to have something worse happen. She vowed she would never interfere with others' destiny again. That is until she dreams one night that someone has planted a bomb at her school and she knows that she cannot let it go off. Now she has lost her ability to dream and her life changes... drastically! 
 Ethan Harris was expelled from his last school and is the newest student at Blue Ridge High. He is viewed as a freak, a loner, dangerous. He always keeps to himself but for some reason is drawn to Nara. He seems to understand her more than anyone and they forge an irresistible connection. In a world where nothing is going right for Nara, he becomes her only constant, her protector, her friend. Together they embark on a journey to figure out why all these bad things keep happening and how they can stop them. 
 And what a journey it was too!! There were all kinds of twists and turns that I did NOT see coming!! The author had me constantly trying to figure things out... guessing as to what would happen next. And I am proud to admit that I did not guess a single one of them correctly!! I loved the suspense... the mystery... the constant changes. 
 Nara and Ethan's relationship was very believable. They started out as friends and through different challenges they faced together, fell in love. They are amazing together and literally balance each other out. 
 I still have so many unanswered questions... especially about Ethan. I would suggest reading his story before you read Brightest Kind Of Darkness. It will help you to understand him better. That man is full of mystery and I am dying to find out all his secrets! 
 My only other suggestion would be to make sure you have time to read this book before you even start it. I guarantee that you will NOT want to put it down when you pick it up!
