Quick Assessment

Liv Silver, newly settled in London with her new family, faces mounting trouble when a gossip blogger exposes her private secrets and a dark presence begins stalking her through the dream world. The story mixes teen romance with suspense and magical danger, and its tension centers on relationships, trust, and unanswered questions rather than graphic content. It is a sequel, so readers may want to start with Dream A Little Dream to follow the characters and their dream-world conflicts.
