What would it be like to share dreams with friends? How useful would it be to get work done while dreaming? In Somnus, a virtual reality universe generated from users' dreams, all of that is possible. 

 But Esme Trahan has discovered a way to exploit this fantasy paradise for personal and financial gain: from within Somnus, she has the ability to break into people's minds and absorb their memories. Thus far, she has managed to keep her unethical, voyeuristic, tendencies a secret. But when an individual known only as the Knightmare begins using those same abilities to torture and destroy his victims' minds, including that of her own brother, her desire for vengeance threatens to expose her to the world. 

Investigating the Knightmare's true identity, Esme is forced to confront his cult of rabid  followers, a tenuous political system controlled by social media influencers, and the secret behind her unique abilities.All Rights Reserved

"Rise up! *You were born for such a time as this." However the recent abandonment by their mother in death and their father in grief has left them struggling as they've been thrust into adulthood overnight. The world desperately needs them. Will they stop bickering and worrying about boys, fashion and proms long enough to save the day? *Esther 4:4 Gifts: Baby in the corner Beth (19) has the ability to draw her heart's desires. She thinks it's only while using her big box of 64 crayons. She doesn't realize the power is in her mind's eye and not her writing implements. Jo (20) can teleport. Of course she doesn't always stick her landings. At first her landings are as messy as is her life. She's lost her mother, her family home, her faith and now thinks she may be losing her mind. Supercilious self-absorbed Amy (17) has the uncanny ability to get others to do what she wants. She says, ever so sweetly, "I'd prefer..."

The oldest sister Meg (21) has dreams and visions about the world's near future. She's also very intuitive. Perhaps if she were better at seeing her own future maybe her personal life wouldn't be in shambles?

The Call of Home (The Call of Home Duology, #1) by maxinestarling

"My senses intensified as a familiar buzz overwhelmed my mind as pins and needles overtook my body as I lay in bed. I propelled what I can only describe as my consciousness forward out of my physical being going up, up, up. My soul peeled itself from my body with every count of breath fading into the back of my memory. Hurdling toward oblivion, relief washed over me, ironing the kinks of my reality, smoothing waves of all forms of emotion into one glass lake. I pictured a door, my door. My door to the world in which I may only visit at night." The story of a girl who gets caught between two worlds while astral projecting, unsure how to return to Earth from the idealistic, socialist world of Esmor. Elyse will embark on a journey exploring what her very consciousness is capable of, and the illusion of reality. "Intention is a very powerful thing"
