"When seventeen year-old Isis Martin is having trouble sleeping due to perturbing dreams of a horrific growling beast, she decides to confront her fear. But what Isis discovers is something other than a menacing entity.
The human-like creature offers Isis assurance that he is not a figment of her imagination. Unwilling to accept his avowal, Isis sets his words to contest by asking the entity to prove himself—a dare, he readily welcomes.
It is in her dreams that Isis innocently stumbles upon the silent existence of the divine lineage of those that man has long forgotten.
In a quaint town, deep in south Texas, this story leads Isis onto the path of impermissible love and captivating life-changing truths. Isis Martin's journey is sure to leave any reader ravenous for more."
Awesome world, really bad action (until the end).
YA author Nely Cab has created a wonderful world of gods. It's a garden, green grass, colorful flowers, etc. Isis was the only human to ever reach this world, trough her dreams. When David discovers her, he considers she's an intruder and tries to scare her away. This ends up with Isis having nightmares that keeps her up all night.
One night, they finally get to talk and he tells her that this is god's world, and she got there through her dreams. Isis didn't believe him so she dares him to prove that he is real and the next day he shows up at her school.
And from here it becomes boring as Hell and really annoying. He stalks her, he is... too suffocating. I believe in love at first sight, but this is ridiculous, Adams writes poems to Isis that are way too sugarish, it almost made me puke.
Even with all these, the premise of the book made me believe in it so I kept reading, and indeed it was worth it in the end because the action came in the last pages. Isis turned into a strange creature, And the last sentence was breath taking. It ended in a cliff-hanger.
Conclusion: is a boring book, but the world is amazing. If you have the nerve to struggle until the end it will be worth it because in my opinion is awesome. I just hope the second book will be better at the action.
