Insights from Dream On (The Silver Trilogy, #2)
True bravery is Liv facing her mother's new relationship. The demons are easy. Dealing with a blended family is the real nightmare.
Grayson is the only person Liv should trust in those corridors. Everyone else treats the dream world like a game. He actually respects how dangerous it gets.
“She’s sick, Liv. Really sick.”
Anabel is terrifying because she believes her own lies. She isn't just a villain. She is a girl who lost her mind to a demon.
Henry keeps too many secrets to be a good boyfriend. Love shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle every single night. It is exhausting.
