For Kaylin Dancroft, dreaming is more than just what happens when you fall asleep at night. A powerful clairvoyant, Kaylin has for years had nightmares and visions that seem to foretell coming events. They proved true enough four years ago, when her sister Jenna was kidnapped from the bedroom that they shared during college break-her sister who, Kaylin is sure, was taken in her place.

Now the nightmares are back, stronger and more terrifying than before, showing scenes that speak to her of her sister's disappearance. Every night she awakes in a terror, with only small fragments of those horrible dreams reverberating through her mind. How can she find Jenna when she doesn't even know who took her? Or ever more importantly, why Kaylin and Jenna were targeted in the first place? With no one to answer her questions, with nowhere to turn, Kaylin feels helpless to accomplish anything, including the most important task of all-finding and rescuing her sister before it's too late.

Then the most unlikely of heroes comes to her aid. Ex-CIA agent and psychic, Shane Lynch, seems to appear out of nowhere when Kaylin falls asleep after a marathon of hours working hard to stay awake. Determined to do anything to keep the nightmares at bay, she seeks solace at a movie theater-only to fall into a deep sleep riddled with disturbing images of her lost teen-aged sister. When Shane comes to her rescue by taking her next door for coffee, Kaylin finds herself sharing the story of her life with her unlikely confidante.

Ms. Kearney has written a wonderful paranormal romantic suspense story, filled with rich characters, believable situations, and a heart-warming attraction. Fans of Ms. Kearney's paranormals, or even fans of the genre itself, are in for a real treat with this deliciously haunting story. ( )
