Layla can't be the last dreamwalker because that's a skill I could use. There are a few people I'd like to give a piece of my mind to in their dreams. I wonder if Layla is interested in giving lessons.
The third daughters in this family have the unique ability to enter other folks' dreams and interact with them. Layla's mother tried to deny the skill, Layla's cousin uses it to terrify people. Layla herself didn't know she had the ability until two barely known aunts come into her life. Chaos ensues! Crazy cousin Charlotte doesn't want to share her island with anybody, so she wreaks havoc in dreamland near and far. Don't you hate it when you can't get any sleep because you know your dreams will be nightmares? Pretty much everybody in the story gets touched by crazy cousin Charlotte's dreamwalking. Can't she give anyone a break?
Of course, she can't because this is horror! And there is nothing more horrifying than horrifying dreams, especially if the dreams can be deadly.
I'd change only two things. The storm coming up the Atlantic could be a lot more frightening. The other is my oft-mentioned pet peeve, eyeball rolling. Every character manages to roll their eyes at some point. Layla's eyeballs almost roll away with so much eyerolling. My eyeball-roll-o-meter went off the charts.
Love that cover. Not only do I want to be a dreamwalker, I want my hair to swing around like that!
Thanks to Forge and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review an eARC of The Last Dreamwalker.
