Nightmares are creatures of shadows, who create nightmares for the humans, transforming their fear, sadness and despair into energy. They are totally invisible and intangible to humans, even if they can grab and touch objects. Desire is one of them. Being chased by another Nightmare, who wants him dead, and all alone, he tries to survive.
And then he meets Camelia. A human capable of sensing Nightmares, which would normally be impossible. Intrigued by her, Desire decides to stay with her. But the thing is; Camelia is no ordinary human: she is blind.

---The first desired something he could never get.
The second wished to be someone else.
The third allied with loved ones to better destroy them.
The last was so different it attracted the others.
For better or for worst.---

Completed!!! :D

My Monster Dream by Author_J_
4 parts Ongoing
Throughout the book, the main character tries to discover what it means to be alive as a 'lower being' in a new world. Originally, she believes herself to be human until an accident occurs, and she finds herself to be woken up in the middle of what she thought to be some sort of cosplay festival. Oddly enough, these strange creatures weren't human, which she quickly realized after being attacked and nearly killed. Now she's got to learn how to survive in this new, scary environment where everyone's out for her demise. I've learned a lot of the parts in this book relate to real-life events, places in the present, and the past. You'll see a lot of connections between actual human historical events and the goings on in this book. The main character is, above all, head strong and bold. She's unafraid of the social normal and any punishments that come when defying them. ----- My original caption for the story: I had a dream, and it was kinda awesome and slightly romantic. I'll try my best to write down what I remember.

Shadows in the Glass by Ivy_Morel
14 parts Ongoing Mature
Pretty Little Horrors Series - Dreamwalker Saga Book 1 - Shadows in the Glass Aurelia has always been haunted by her dreams-vivid, twisted nightmares that blur the line between fantasy and reality. But when the shadows from her dreams start creeping into the waking world, she realizes she's not just dreaming. She's being hunted. Thrown into a world of dark seduction and dangerous prophecy, Aurelia finds herself torn between two powerful beings: Raphael, the dangerously possessive royal who treats her like both a prize and a queen, and Maelis, the seductive trickster who invades her dreams with promises of power and pleasure. But nothing in this world is as it seems. The Council has sinister plans for her-plans that involve more than just her dreams. As Aurelia's powers awaken, so does the primal hunger that burns between her and Raphael. His touch is fire and danger, yet every instinct in her body craves more. But the deeper she falls into his world, the more she realizes that love may not be enough to save her from the fate the Council has planned. Caught in a deadly game of shadows, lies, and seduction, Aurelia must uncover the truth of her past and her power before her body-and her heart-are claimed by forces darker than any nightmare she's ever faced. In a world where love and danger blur into obsession, will Aurelia find the strength to fight for her freedom, or will she become a pawn in the hands of those who seek to possess her?

(Dark Court Fae Book 1) Dessa doesn't believe in the faeries that her aunt raised her to be afraid of. But her nightmares are filled with them, and when she's awake, she's still plagued by a phobia of faeries, despite her disbelief in their existence. She thinks that her aunt's dark faery tales and ominous warnings warped her when she was young, and now she is left with fears that aren't rational or sane. Her aunt had sheltered her too much - she had been so overprotective that she'd kept Dessa from experiencing a normal life. When her aunt passes away, leaving Dessa with her mountainous debt, with no practical experience on how to take care of herself, and worst of all, the fear that her aunt drilled into her head that faeries were a very real danger - she's left with no other option than to venture out into the dangerous world if she wants to survive. However, Dessa soon finds that there might have been more truth to her crazy aunt's rambling warnings than she wanted to believe.
