Official Apex Reviews Rating: 4 Stars


After her mother’s tragic death, 18-year-old Chloe goes into an emotional tailspin, culminating in a series of dark, terrifying nightmares. Unable to escape the disturbing visions, Chloe eventually discovers the source: Shane Anderson, a charming, yet troubled young musician in a monumental struggle to beat a crippling heroin addiction. As Chloe and Shane’s bond deepens, she soon comes to the grim realization that her dreams have actually been transporting her to the past – before Shane succumbed to his addiction – and she finds herself on a spiritual quest to save him from his premature demise...

Hauntingly dark and mysterious, Dreamwalk is a compelling read. Set against the nebulous backdrop of the dream world, author Sarah MacManus’ winding tale is rife with one surprising twist after another, but the dominant theme of the central storyline is solid: the often lonely quest for teenage acceptance. Despite the different paths by which they get there, both Chloe and Shane ultimately find themselves in a dark, abandoned place, and it is this shared sense of  that helps them form a quick bond with one another. Add to that Shane’s bruising battle with addiction and Chloe’s supernatural ability to alter reality – and you end up with a highly intriguing read that proves almost impossible to predict.

Poetically crafted with a subtle, yet powerful lyrical flair, Dreamwalk is an engrossing read. Recommended for fans of unconventional teen romance tales.
