Mysterious doors with lizard-head knobs. Talking stone statues. A crazy girl with a hatchet. Yes, Liv's dreams have been pretty weird lately. Especially the one where she's in a graveyard at night, watching four boys conduct dark magic rituals.

The strangest part is that Liv recognizes the boys in her dream. They're classmates from her new school in London, the school where she's starting over because her mom has moved them to a new country (again). But what's really scaring Liv is that the dream boys seem to know things about her in real life, things they couldn't possibly know--unless they actually are in her dreams? Luckily, Liv never could resist a good mystery, and all four of those boys are pretty cute....

Now, What I Thought:

Damn, this was a crazy ride. I mean 4 boys, 1 girl, a cemetery and magic?? As crazy as it sounds, that's exactly how the book was. I liked this concept of the dreamworld and the dangerous and potentially harmful magic that lies within it. Being 15, Liv didn't live (lol see what I did there..) a pretty exciting life. She had just moved to London and started a new school, which is pretty frightening considering she doesn't have the best experience with making friends. After experiencing some weird dreams with 4 super cute boys she actually gets to see and encounter them at school. 

Liv's best feature was her sarcastic humour, I couldn't help but laugh at most of her lines. As for the actual plot and story... It kind of just dragged on for the whole 322 pages of the book. I LIKED IT, don't get me wrong, but if it weren't for Liv's humour and awesome character and of course, the cute boys, I don't think I would've finished it. It's a shame because Kerstin Gier is really a great author and I happen to love her other books, The Precious Stone Trilogy. 

The sweet innocent romance between Henry and Liv was nice and light, which the book needed. It was cute and fun and I liked it. Again, the whole idea about the dreamworld and the dark dangerous moments consisting in that world were fun and interesting. Definitely read this if you are interested in that.
