Lucy Aimes has always been practical. But try as she might, she can’t come up with a logical explanation for the recurring dreams that have always haunted her. Dark dreams. Dreams of a long-ago place filled with people she shouldn’t know…but does.

When her family moves to a New Orleans plantation, Lucy’s dreams become more intense, and her search for answers draws her reluctantly into the old city’s world of Voodoo and mysticism. There, Lucy finds Alex, a mysterious boy who behaves as if they’ve known each other forever. Lucy knows Alex is hiding something, and her rational side doesn’t want to be drawn to him. But she is.

As she tries to uncover Alex’s secrets, a killer strikes close to home, and Lucy finds herself ensnared in a century-old vendetta. With the lives of everyone she loves in danger, Lucy will have to unravel the mystery of her dreams before it all comes to a deadly finish.

 
My Review: Loved this book! Finally tackled this older TBR and I wish I had done it sooner, it was so much fun!

Lucy at first is so no thrilled to be in Louisiana. She is set on making it her mission to go back to Chicago and finish out her senior year there instead. Though, her dreams may end up keeping her around. 

Lucy begins to have dreams again. Only this time, it's a little different than usual. She is dreaming of this couple. During the dream she is the lady herself who is struggling with her feelings for this guy and wanting to make sure his love is true ends up going down a bad road. This leads to Lucy learning about who this woman is, how she relates to her and that the guy she has been speaking to on the property is not who she initially thought to be and turns out he is the one from her dream as well.

Basically a love that stood the test of time and now that Lucy has found him in this lifetime she has to make the difficult choice of helping him break this curse and finally be able to move on despite the heartbreak it will leave her.

The entire story had me captivated and I read through it, in one sitting. I loved Lucy and Alex. I loved the twists and surprises. It was a truly amazing book and I'm already starting on the next one.

So, don't be like me and let books sit on your TBR longer that you want to admit. Because you may be missing out on some good ones, like this book!
