Summary
from Goodreads:
For Christine,
dreams have never been more than a pleasant dalliance in her subconscious or
the occasional nightmare. Once she meets Gabriel, her dreams become vivid and
shocking.
She spends time
with Gabriel and learns there is far more to dreams than she ever imagined. As
she becomes entangled in the truth, and her feelings for Gabriel, she finds
herself on the path to making the biggest, and strangest, decision of her life.
Excerpt
I walked down a
moonlit street. It smelled like smoldering autumn leaves but there
was no chill in the air. Wind slowly blew through the trees and made
their leaves whisper. Everything else was quiet.
The wind curled
around me, but this time it brought a few drops of rain with it.
Glancing at the sky, I noticed clouds gathering over the moon. It
dawned on me that I should get back home and go to bed. I looked
around and, for the first time, realized I wasn’t in my
neighborhood. This neighborhood resembled a set from a musical rather
than a real street. The houses were big and imposing, like something
from My
Fair Lady. At
any moment, I expected to see Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn
strolling toward me. The thought of wandering through an old movie
scene, alone, at night caused cold goose bumps to rise on my arms.
Keep
it together, Christine. I
tried to stay reasonable.
Was it safer to go
back the way I’d come or keep going into unknown territory? I
didn’t remember going for a walk anyway. Basically, turning back
was no different than continuing on. I took another quick scan of the
street to see if anyone else was out. Nothing stirred. Even the wind
had deserted me.
I tried to grab hold
of my courage. There had to be a logical explanation for this and it
wasn’t like I could have wandered too far from home. I decided my
best bet was to turn around and go the way I’d apparently come.
Maybe something would look familiar eventually and I’d be snuggled
in my bed soon.
I turned and the
wind rushed past my ears. “Christine,” it sighed, producing the
effect of ice water dripping down my spine. The voice was soft, but I
had not imagined it.
