Week 30 Review: Dreaming Awake

From Goodreads:
She fell for him in a nighttime world. But the time for dreaming is past—and the here-and-now can be just as fragile their love…

When Theia Alderson first encountered a mysterious, handsome boy in her dreams, she never imagined how finding Haden Black—and falling in love—could change her life. To save Haden, Theia sacrificed everything. And the dangerous bargain she made could have lasting repercussions.

Now Theia has returned to Serendipity Falls, and she finds herself struggling with the same deadly hungers that have tortured Haden. When students at their high school fall prey to a mysterious illness, Theia can't help but wonder if Haden's control is slipping—and how much longer she'll have a grip on her own.

And still the nightmare realm of Under won't let them go. Someone from Haden's past is determined to destroy Theia from the inside out, starting with those closest to her, forcing Theia to choose between family and friends and a love that may have been doomed from the start…

My Review:
Gosh, how did I enjoy this book so much? So great, and while it's been a while since I read Falling Under, well, this book picked up those threads quickly, and things made sense, and I just really enjoyed this book a ton!

So Theia now has some special powers after the ending of Falling Under, which is something that she has to deal with, and reading about that was really great! Countered with the illness, and Theia's suspicion of Haden, well, not so great, but it is conflict!

I did have a few annoyances reading this book, which is why it didn't get all 5's, they were just those little tiny things that poke at you, but overall, don't bring the book down too, too much, but they do bring it down. Yeah.

How it ended was just really great! But it makes me want a 3rd book, because things didn't feel finished, like Ame. I would really love a 3rd book for Ame. Because Ame really deserves it, to have a happy-or just happier-ending then what was in this book!

Just really enjoyed this book, it was really great to read it!
