Riassunto

The blockbuster film Inception meets Lisa McMann's Wake trilogy in this dark paranormal thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Aprilynne Pike. This supernatural young adult novel is perfect for fans of Kelley Armstrong, Alyson Noël, Richelle Mead, and Kimberly Derting.

Charlotte Westing has a gift. She is an Oracle and has the ability to tell the future. But it doesn't do her much good. Instead of using their miraculous power, modern day Oracles are told to fight their visions––to refrain from interfering. And Charlotte knows the price of breaking the rules. She sees it every day in her wheelchair-bound mother and the absence of her father. But when a premonition of a classmate's death is too strong for her to ignore, Charlotte is forced to make an impossible decision: continue following the rules or risk everything—even her sanity—to stop the serial killer who is stalking her town.

Recensione:

“Sleep No More was both imaginative and exciting—a mixture of a classical fantasy and a contemporary thriller. I enjoyed it immensely.” (Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Steelheart)

“Sleep No More is a supernatural thriller with tight pacing, brilliant world-building, and a fascinating heroine with an all-too-human mix of frailty and power. Twisty and mystical and satisfying. I couldn’t put it down.” (Dan Wells, author of Partials)
