The pain makes you do things horrible things A cold lonely life, paralyzed by sickening nightmares: that s what Kewy, a young Irish teacher, has started to experience. And then an abrupt knocking at her door establishes that the time has come. Things buried in her past have found a way to communicate with her the dreams, which always receive her at a godforsaken place, dwell with evil and are surrounded by death, fear and hopelessness. The past is agonizing, but part of her still believes she can erase it. In her quest, Kewy is joined by two beings, both of whom find a reason to live in her struggle. Kasper, a grocery boy, works in small county of Louth. In Kewy, he thinks he has found the meaning of his life. Einin is a teen catholic student in Kewy s art history class. She anticipates Kewy s problem and offers a helping hand. Together, the three decide to visit the dark, disturbed and desolated land from Kewy s dream. There is fear and anxiety, but they hope to get past it not having the slightest idea that what waits for them in those dead woods is more than just a plain and ordinary fear. Welcome to Reinhardt.

But she will not be going alone. A student of hers named Einin and a man who deeply cares for her, Kasper, are going to accompany her on this journey. However, they may not know what they are truly in for until it is too late. For the secret behind the nightmares is a truth that could be too hard to swallow.
Now firstly I must say that I loved the concept of this story. It...I don't know...intrigued me. I loved the all around creepiness of the town to which Kewy must go back. The town that seems to call to her. It kind of reminded me of limbo. You know, there but not really there. A ghost town, if you will. I loved that there is a much bigger story to the town, involving a pact with Satan and a sacrifice of certain qualifications. I also loved the people of the town. Just talking about it sends shivers down my spine.
With that said, though, I was a bit disappointed by the execution of the story. There were no low points, but there were no high points or climaxes. I want a story to have a big reveal, where the main character has no idea what his or her true fate or destiny is until the end, and then they must choose. I wanted Kewy to be haunted throughout the entire journey back by her past with the town. I wanted the town to reveal small bits and pieces of her role in its survival, but not fully awaken and reveal the big picture until she had begun to realize it herself. I wanted her to fight. Against the town, and its inhabitants, and more importantly her role. And I wanted her to win, to for once and for all stop the nightmares. There was no huge battle. I wanted Kewy, Kasper, and Einin to survive the ordeal and come back stronger than ever. Albeit a bit battered and bruised, but joined together in victory. I just felt like there could have been more in the way of interest and intrigue and horror and excitement. But all in all, it was a good read. (
