It's Monday, What Are You Reading? (16)
This is a fun weekly meme hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World of Books.
Books read last week:
Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost
Forget-Her-Nots by Amy Brecount White
Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken
Along Came A Demon by Linda Welch
Stolen: A Letter to My Captor by Lucy Christopher
The book I'm reading now:
Sleepless:
Eron DeMarchelle isn't supposed to feel this connection. He is a Sandman, a supernatural being whose purpose is to seduce his human charges to sleep. Though he can communicate with his charges in their dreams, he isn't encouraged to do so. After all, becoming too involved in one human's life could prevent him from helping others get their needed rest.
But he can't deny that he feels something for Julia, a lonely girl with fiery red hair and sad dreams. Just weeks ago, her boyfriend died in a car accident, and Eron can tell that she feels more alone than ever. Eron was human once too, many years ago, and he remembers how it felt to lose the one he loved. In the past, Eron has broken rules to protect Julia, but now, when she seems to need him more than ever, he can't reach her. Eron's time as a Sandman is coming to a close, and his replacement doesn't seem to care about his charges. Worse, Julia is facing dangers she doesn't recognize, and Eron, as he transitions back to being human, may be the only one who can save her....
Even once they've become human again, Sandmen are forbidden to communicate with their charges. But Eron knows he won't be able to forget Julia. Will he risk everything for a chance to be with the girl he loves?
Books that spark my interest this week:
Guardian of the Gate by Michelle Zink
Bound to Shadows by Keri Arthur
Storm of Visions by Christina Dodd
