Synopsis:
16-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she’s a criminal. No, she’s a Nightmare. Literally. Dusty is a magical being who feeds on human dreams.
Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother’s infamy is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker’s house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He’s hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn’t get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder. The setting is Arkwell.
And then it comes true.
Now the Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she’s up to and marks her as the next target.

Why i'm waiting:
There are three reason i want to read this book. One, the mystery. I love a good ol' mystery! Two; my undying curiosity of how Dusty feeds of human dreams and the different kind of magical kinds we will meet. Three, i love the sound of school for magic kind.
What are you waiting on?
Teehee, this sounds like so much fun! It's quite a refreshing perspective, to actually be a nightmare, so I really can't wait to see how the author explores this idea. Plus...you know...Eli. ;) Fab pick, Sangita! :)
