Synopsis:
Her eyes saved his life.
Her dreams released his darkness.
After four years of sleeplessness, high school junior Parker Chipp can't take much more. Every night, instead of sleeping, he enters the dreams of the last person he's made eye contact with. If he doesn't sleep soon, Parker will die.
Then he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him blissful rest that is utterly addictive. But what starts out as a chance meeting turns into an obsession; Parker's furious desire for what he needs pushes him to extremes he never thought he'd go. And when someone begins to terrorizing Mia with twisted death threats, Parker's memory blackouts leave him doubting his own innocence.
This book was pretty darn awesome! It just had such an interesting concept! Parker is a "Watcher," someone who, well, watches other peoples dreams. And poor Parker gets stuck in the dreams of the last person he makes eye contact with without getting any sleep himself! It's so terrible, but I love it! This dream stuff has always fascinated me, so the book really caught my attention when I first heard of it.
