When an evil force from a parallel dimension threatens her world, a college student with supernatural abilities realizes that insomnia is the least of her problems.

****

A rift has been torn in the veil that separates the human world from those that lie beyond, worlds that humans can only visit in their sleep. Supernatural creatures are escaping into the human world and bringing people's worst nightmares to life. Only one person can stop this terrifying onslaught-unfortunately, she doesn't know how.

Callie O'Neill is a college student running from the demons of her past. What she can't escape are the vivid dreams that plague her sleep and keep her awake at night. As the reports of violent attacks by an unknown creature begin to pile up, Callie must confront the supernatural forces she has met before to prevent more deaths. 

The mystery of Callie's connection to these phenomena may not be a mystery to everyone. Alex Zidane, a recent acquaintance of Callie, seems unsurprised by the mayhem occurring around them. When Callie attends a Halloween festival and is plunged into a maze that resembles the one she traverses in her dreams, Alex must help her survive the chaos emerging from another world.

Along with trying the save the world, Callie must decide whether to trust Alex or the mysterious group that sent him to protect her. If they manage to live through the dangers ahead, they must face the secrets they both keep and the attraction they both fight.

Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'
