Every time Alora goes to sleep, she wakes up on another world, a magical world, a world that's about to collide with Earth in a very big way. Alora's the only person with the power save them both, only, she's not sure she should.

Alora’s life has been anything but magical. Since her parents died, she and her brother have been on the run from a creepy, doggedly determined social worker. In a few more months she turns eighteen, but until then, they're stuck hiding. It’s hardly surprising that she dreams every single night of another world, Terra, where she possesses telekinetic powers.

What Alora can’t explain is how, when she breaks her arm in her dreams, she wakes up with the same (very real) injury on Earth. And if her dreams aren't real, shouldn't they be more fun? Since only men on Terra are supposed to be able to move things with their minds, Alora spends all her time there hiding her powers.

But when her best friend on Terra is threatened, Alora uses her powers to save him, inadvertently killing the attacker. The next day on Earth, the exact same man she killed on Terra walks into her workplace. . .and drops dead. Suddenly, she's being hunted in both places. Alora must discover how Earth and Terra are connected and how far she’ll go to save a world that may not deserve to be saved.

I was hooked all the way through. It’s a wonderful story, can’t wait to see how it all ends .

Alternate worlds

The only reason I forced myself to get to the end of this book was because I enjoyed Book 1, and even then I had to speed up the audio to 1.5x speed to get through this lengthy, meandering drivel, with characters repeating themselves, spending the whole book squabbling, and telling secrets to random people for me reason.The only thing I liked about Book 2 was the cover.The main character, Alora, was a sympathetic character in Book 1 and a completely unlikeable one in Book 2.Having spent Book 1, mooning over Guy 1, she's busy pashing Guy 2 in Book 2 and then rolling her eyes over the guys fighting with each other. This is the worst kind of love triangle, the kind that seems to be there because there is no real tension to any other part of the story. I cringed every time things were meant to be getting romantic.In one part of the story, Alora steals the life of a woman who had been helping her, and claims she would do it again to save her brother. The scene then carried on to a discussion about how many breakfast tacos would be needed to feed everyone (who were still alive).That God it's over. I won't be continuing the series, which is disappointing because Book 1 was good.

Unusual

The story begins quite poetically, almost like a fairy tale. With exciting moments, but then develops more and more into a thriller. Up to this point, I really enjoyed reading it. But then starts a war. Massive battles with thousands and thousands of victims are not particularly to my taste and the lengthy descriptions of romantic feelings do nothing to counterbalance this. Quite disturbing.
