This book was absolutely amazing! Ms. Hayes created an alternate world which was frightening yet intriguing. 
 My favorite part of the book was reading about the underworld. The characters were absolutely alarming and it seemed really like something out of nightmares. It threw in just a hint of a spooky twist on the whole story. 
 You have got to love these characters. I must say that Donny, one of Theia's BFF's, was my favorite. Of course she was, with her spunky attitude and not having any kind of filter from her brain to her mouth. You never knew what was going to come out of her next. I loved it! 
 The romance drew me in completely. I enjoyed that these two wayward characters, Theia and Hayden, were drawn to each other. I also loved that they were trying to save each other at the same time. 
 Although I enjoyed this book, it seemed to drag on a bit before actually getting to the ending. I cannot wait to read the next in the series, Dreaming Awake due out in January, 2012. The cover is as beautiful as the first book.

 My hand tingled where he kissed her. 
 And the bastard knew it."
