The dreamers walk among us...and so do the dreamed. Those who dream cannot stop dreaming--they can only try to control it. Those who are dreamed cannot have their own lives--they will sleep forever if their dreamers die.
And then there are those who are drawn to the dreamers. To use them. To trap them. To kill them before their dreams destroy us all.
Ronan Lynch is a dreamer. He can pull both curiosities and catastrophes out of his dreams and into his compromised reality.
Jordan Hennessy is a thief. The closer she comes to the dream object she is after, the more inextricably she becomes tied to it.
Carmen Farooq-Lane is a hunter. Her brother was a dreamer...and a killer. She has seen what dreaming can do to a person. And she has seen the damage that dreamers can do. But that is nothing compared to the destruction that is about to be unleashed...

“There was only the quiet that came after all those things. There was only the quiet that came when you were the only one left. Only the quiet that came when you were something strange enough to outsurvive the things that killed or drove away everyone you loved.”

This book was amaaazing! It felt like a very good continuation of The Raven Cycle, but with the focus being on the Lynch Brothers. Ronan and Declan have POVs, Matthew doesn't (yet). Then we have some new characters - Jordan Hennessy and Carmen Farooq-Lane who have POVs.
Adam is in there (well, it is Ronan's book after all), but he doesn't get a POV. There's text messages from Gansey and Blue to Ronan.
There's a lot of Declan Lynch eating antacids (because his brothers won't listen to him)
This may be a better book than the three stars I gave it. I can't decide if the reason I couldn't really get into it was because of the book or that I wasn't in the mood for it.
Anyway, this reminds me a lot of Stephen King but lacks the gritty characterization.
I won't say much because the raven boys stans have told me to k*ll myself about... 100 times? over the fact that I hate the series
