  SOME NIGHTMARES NEVER END.
  For Janie and Cabel, real life is getting tougher than the dreams. They're just trying to carve out a little (secret) time together, but no such luck. Disturbing things are happening at Fieldridge High, yet nobody's talking. When Janie taps into a classmate's violent nightmares, the case finally breaks open -- but nothing goes as planned.

As her parents went off the rails, she went to her first keg parties and befriended the school's elite crowd-all the while fervidly helping the attractive private investigator her family hired to search for clues to Danny's whereabouts. The shocking end to that trail of clues-an end that Lydia never prepared herself for-left a wound that has never healed, even now as she prepares to return to her hometown after many years……Review written by Good Reads.com
