Neverwake - (Dreamfall) by Amy Plum (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Scream meets Nightmare on Elm Street in this thrilling and terrifying sequel to Dreamfall--which Madeleine Roux, New York Times bestselling author of the Asylum series, called "remarkable, riveting, disorienting, and dark."

For most people, no matter how bad a nightmare is, it always comes to an end. But for Cata and the others, there may be no escape.

After an experimental treatment meant to cure their insomnia went horribly wrong, the teens were plunged into a shared dreamworld where their most terrifying fears became reality.

The six of them have no way of waking up. And they're now beginning to realize that if they die there, they might actually die in the real world. One of the dreamers is already gone, and anyone could be next. So they must work together to survive.

But as they learn the truth about one another, they soon discover they are trapped with someone far more dangerous than their nightmares....

Perfect for fans of Danielle Vega, Kendare Blake, and Michelle Hodkin, Neverwake is the final book in this spine-tingling duology full of action and suspense that will give you nightmares you never could have imagined.

• YA Horror: Plunge into a series of terrifying nightmares, from derelict asylums to zombie-infested jungles, where every fear is made real.
• Survival Horror: The stakes are real: if the six teens die in the dreamworld, their bodies die in the real world. And one is already gone.
• Sci-Fi Thriller: Explore the fallout of a cutting-edge insomnia treatment gone horribly wrong, trapping a group of strangers in a shared subconscious they can't escape.
• Trapped with a Killer: As the survivors learn the truth about one another, they realize their greatest threat isn't the monsters in the nightmares, but the one sleeping in the bed next to them.
