As the daughter of the King of Dreams, Dawn knew as a
teenager that she was different from other kids, which only
made her want to be normal. So Dawn spent her college days
learning to hide who she really was. She became a
specialist in dreams and now works for a clinic analyzing
dreams and what they mean to the dreamer. That's where she
meets Noah Clarke. He feels his dreams are real and Dawn
seems to be the only one who believes that what he says and
what he dreams are true.
Noah has been going to the clinic to find help in
understanding why his dreams seem so real, which tends to
make him not want to sleep in the first place. Then one
night, Dawn allows Noah to stay at the clinic. She
physically enters his dreams when the same entity that's
haunting her dreams is trying to hurt Noah. They both
realize there's more going on and they need help. Dawn must
face her fears and enter into her father's world, the Dream
Realm, and learn to become what she is -- a Nightmare.
BEFORE I WAKE took me into a fascinating new paranormal
world and kept me riveted to each page with its mystery,
intrigue and unique characters. I'm very excited to see
where Kathryn Smith takes us next.
And in some
ways, you'd be right. I actually get paid to study
people's dreams. It comes much easier than my employers at
the Sleep Center suspect; after all, I, Dawn, am the
daughter of the king of the dream world, and I can roam
the dreams of others, battling the nightmares that plague
them.
I call it a nightmare . . .
Honestly, I could use a good night's sleep. But ever since
I met Noah Clarke, I'm even more torn between the two
worlds: smart, sexy, and able to control his own dreams,
Noah could be my perfect man—except he's being stalked in
his sleep by an unearthly evil, hell-bent on destroying
him . . . and the entire world.
