Dreams of the Dead by Thomas Randall, Christopher Golden
5.0
First of all I'd like to thank Missy - bingereader on you tube for recommending this book on one of her review videos. I am so glad that I purchased it and read it because it's a fantastic story and an amazing start to what I am sure will be an grate trilogy.
This first book in the trilogy follows an American girl, named Kara and her father who's a teacher through their first few months in Japan. Where they have moved to for a year for her father to teach following her mothers death.
The cover art is hauntingly evocative, and, Thomas's writing style and world building skills are fascinating and captivating so leave you wanting more every time you picked it up. This is why I have given the book a five star rating.
Through the author's writing I could feel Kara and all the other kids at the schools fear when all the murders and nightmares were happening, to the point where I actually felt like I was in the story as well. It also made me feel a strong connection with Karra when she was so determined to find out what why it was all happening even though she was scared to death because if I was in a situation like that I would teat like that to.
All in all I loved this book and can't wait to read the other two, in fact I intend to read the second book Spirits of the Noh by the end of this month.
