River of Dreams

By Jan Nash

Book Overview

Draped in themes of first love and family, secrets and malevolence, and swirling through an exhilarating dream world full of danger, violence, and love, Jan Nash's exciting debut is a high-stakes adventure full of suspense, romance, and magic. Finn Driscoll is counting down the days until she can leave for college. With her beloved brother, Noah, in a coma and her high school social life sinking every day, she's ready for a fresh start. Until the night she sees Noah in a dream. He begs for her help. At first, she shakes it off as just a nightmare. Then it happens again. And again. Frightened, Finn confides in her grandmother, only to learn the shocking truth about her family. They're Dreamwalkers--heroes who step into the River of Dreams and fight the monsters in other people's nightmares, freeing them to face the problems in their real lives. Awake or asleep, Finn has never thought of herself as any kind of hero, and walking through other people's dreams seems much worse than just hiding at school. But as hard as facing this challenge might be, Finn knows she has no choice: she will do anything she can to save her brother.

Customer Reviews

Couldn’t put it down!

A friend recommended this book to me and it was amazing! I couldn’t put it down and was on the edge of my seat (both literally and figuratively) for more than half of the book. The concept is so interesting and it was just absolutely riveting! I don’t think I have gasped that many times from one book ever, and my partner enjoyed watching my facial expressions change - going from happy to sad to scared - throughout the chapters. Honestly, I can’t think of anyone I wouldn’t recommend it to. The most inappropriate it gets is kissing and a glimpse into an intimate dream but not much detail at all and is super short. It definitely gets intense but nothing that would haunt nightmares. And even so, it is the farthest thing from boring. I am an immediate fan of the author.
