Genre: Fantasy
Released October, 2015

Fifteen-year-old Archer Keaton has the ability to enter and explore his dreams. He is a Dreamtreader, one of three selected from each generation. Their mission: to protect the waking world from the Nightmare Lord who dwells beyond the Slumber Gate. But as Archer’s dreams become more dangerous and threatening, so too does his waking life.

In this fast-paced conclusion to the exciting fantasy trilogy, the dream world and the waking world bleed into each other when a rift is formed between the two. People in the real world suddenly find their waking lives resemble their wildest dreams. Now it’s up to Archer and his fellow Dreamtreaders to race to reverse the rift before too much damage is done and to battle Archer’s ex-best friend, Kara, who sits on the throne of the Nightmare Lord. Kara is building an army of her own. Will Archer be strong enough to stand against her?

My Thoughts

I came into this book not knowing what to expect because I hadn’t read the previous two books. I now really need to read these books. I”m a huge fan of the fantasy genre and this book was magical and a perfect display of all things fantasy. Even if you haven’t read the other books in the series, this book was amazing on it’s own. The idea of your dream/nightmare world bleeding into reality is a terrifying enough thought but the descriptions Batson provides makes it all the more real. I loved the characters and the fast paced plot line. I loved the characters and their stories. This book is a perfect read for all fantasy lovers. Warning though, you won’t want to put it down once you start.
