Genre: YA, Fantasy

Synopsis:

WHAT IF YOUR WHOLE LIFE WAS A LIE?

One Planet.

Two Worlds.

Population: Human ... 7 billion.

Others ... unknown.

When 14-year-old Charlie Blake wakes up sweating and gasping for air in the middle of the night, he knows it is happening again. This time he witnesses a brutal murder. He's afraid to tell any one. No one would believe him ... because it was a dream. Just like the one he had four years ago - the day before his dad died.

Charlie doesn't know why this is happening. He would give any thing to have an ordinary life. The problem: he doesn't belong in the world he knows as home. He belongs with the others.


My Review:
First time I saw this cover on netgalley, I fell in love. It made me feel that the story inside is good, so I requested it. And I was so happy when I got the permission to download it and I started read it right away.

The story first began with Derkein and his father, I like Derkein so much! And then the story moved to Charlie, Alex and Richmond. Charlie always got nightmares, and the nightmares are always mean something, not just a simple dream. And then the adventure began when the three met Derkein.

The plot was amazing! I was really excited to know more and more and couldn't stop reading. I don't want to tell the story even a bit because I'm afraid I'll tell spoiler!! I can't wait to read the second and the third books!
