Description:
Being
a ParaScience freshman is a nightmare come true
Hailey’s
dreams have always been, well...vivid. As in monsters from her
nightmares follow her into her waking life vivid. When her big sister
goes missing, eighteen-year-old Hailey finds the only thing keeping
her safe from a murderous 3,000-year old beast is an equally
terrifying creature who’s fallen “madly” in love with her.
Competing
to win her affection, the Dream Creature, Asher, lures her to the one
place that offers safety—a ParaScience university in Alaska he
calls home. There, she studies the science of the supernatural and
must learn to live with a roommate from Hell, survive a tunneling
earworm, extract a carnivorous splinter, evade the campus
poltergeists, and hope the only creature who can save her from an
evil immortal doesn’t decide to kill her himself.

Preface
Nowhere
to Hide
“Judge
of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.”
-
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hailey
plunked her head on the desk and groaned. Why, why…why couldn’t
she just tell Asher that she wanted out, that she was afraid—afraid
of the others, afraid of dying, and even afraid of…of him. After
all, he was planning to kill her. Only temporarily, but still.
She
couldn’t believe she was even considering it, but she had no
choice. If Asher didn’t kill her, one of the others would.
Permanently.
And
Asher protected her. He cared about her. He loved her, right?
Asher—an emotionless creature. Hailey wasn’t sure if he was even
capable of love.
Oh,
this made absolutely no sense. Kill her to save her? Was that love?
Freshman
year at her dream college was turning into nightmare, and as she
rolled her forehead on the desk, the library’s impossibly large
ceiling clock echoed a thump with her heart. She simply had to pull
on her big girl pants and tell Asher she was done.
That’s
all.
She
squeezed her eyes shut as a swarm of butterflies took flight in her
stomach.
Lately,
she felt an awful lot like Jekyll and Hyde: logical, rational
ParaScience student by day—emotional monstrosity at night. Come to
think of it, this was more like The Phantom of the Opera, and she was
the naïve student who didn’t realize the secret and strange angel
she’d come to know was actually a homicidal maniac…
“I’m
not a maniac.”
Hailey
jumped up. She didn’t mean to say that out loud.
Asher
slid behind her, putting his lips next to her ear. “But I suppose I
am homicidal,” he whispered, his breath on her skin sending goose
bumps down her arms and legs.
She
leaned into him and sighed.
So
much for steadfast resolve.
Wrapping
his arms around her waist, he pulled her closer.
“How
did you know I was here?” she whispered.
“You
were dreaming, Hailey,” he murmured. “I’ll always find you when
you’re dreaming.”
