Blurb:
“The
Sandman is seventeen-year-old Nora’s closest friend and best-kept secret. He
has to be, if she doesn’t want a one-way ticket back to the psychiatrist. It
took her too long to learn not to mention the hooded figure in her dreams to
her mother, who still watches Nora as if she’ll crack. So when Nora’s friends
start mysteriously dying gruesome deaths in their sleep, she isn’t altogether
surprised when the police direct their suspicion at her. The Sandman is the
only one she can turn to for answers. But the truth might be more than she
bargained for…
For the last five years, the Sandman has spent every night protecting Nora. When he hid the secret to the Nightmare Lord’s escape inside her dreams, he never expected to fall in love with her. Neither did he think his nemesis would find her so quickly, but there’s no mistaking his cruel handiwork. The Nightmare Lord is tired of playing by the rules and will do anything to release his deadly nightmares into the world, even if that means tormenting Nora until she breaks.
When the Nightmare Lord kidnaps Nora’s sister, Nora must enter enemy territory to save her. The Sandman is determined to help, but if Nora isn’t careful, she could lose even more than her family to the darkness.
(Please note: This story contains vivid death scenes.)”

Review:
The
Sandman and the Weaver of Nightmares.
Wonderful writing and world building, just wonderful, I tell you. It’s days later, and I’m still thinking about
the picturesque night realm that author Amber R. Duell has created.
The
characters are relatable, the fantasy world rich and lovely, even during
nightmare sequences, and the abilities of the Sandman and Nightmare Lord were a
joy to see in action. I’m excited to see
this series continue.
This
is an amazing YA Fantasy that I cannot recommend highly enough. Especially for fans of A. G. Howard’s ‘Splintered’
series.
‘Dream Keeper’ will be available on January 29, 2019.
