Synopsis: (Found
on goodreads)
Mysterious doors with lizard-head knobs.
Talking stone statues. A crazy girl with a hatchet. Yes, Liv's dreams have been
pretty weird lately. Especially the one where she's in a graveyard at night,
watching four boys conduct dark magic rituals.
The strangest part is that Liv recognizes the boys in her dream. They're classmates from her new school in London, the school where she's starting over because her mom has moved them to a new country (again).

Overall Rating: 5/5
Finished this in under 7 hours which was the start of an
amazing book reading binge. This story is so descriptive and the story flows
well. Out of Gier`s works I would have to say this one is my favorite.
Cover: 5/5
This cover is stunning. I am glad they did a cover change
from the Netgalley original version. This one just matches the plot of the book
perfectly. The colors pop and the items have significance in the book itself.
Characters: 4.5/5
Liv Silver: She is inquisitive and for me very relatable.
She wants to solve problems and uncover hidden gems in life. Although sometimes
her personality can get her in to some trouble she seems to finally have
control of her life and what she (might) want to do.
Grayson Spencer: I am torn between Grayson and Henry as
Liv`s love interest. Grayson is different and sometimes sulks about life but he
has an interesting past and is learning to move forward. He looks out for Liv
and doesn`t want to see her get hurt.
Henry Harper: He is super secretive and you never truly know
what he is thinking. Although he is Liv`s bf I still feel like he has some
super dark secrets that as readers we aren`t going to like. I hope to find out
more about him in book 2 (please can it be here yet).
Secrecy: Is the name of the blogger of the school
Tiddle-Taddle. S/He knows everything that is going on. Liv loves mysteries so
she is trying to figure out who Secrecy is. I typically hate people like this
that meddle in everyone’s lives and then gossip about it. Secrecy however I
think understands what is “alright” to talk about- trivial things in a person
life versus something that could truly hurt them.
Plot: 5/5
There is tons of witty banter
between characters and then there is a little interesting dream exploration. Gier also used the idea of
doors to other people’s dreams actually being doors. People can put locks and
defenses on their doors to keep other’s out. This was a fun way to sort of get
a look at what type of person they would be. Some were simple others were a
little more tricky. There is some high school drama but most of it isn`t your
typical teen angst. There is also a bit of a romance going on here, but it
progresses slowly and is sweet and seems real.
Quotes:
Pg.275
“Whether he`ll come by way of Oberammergau or
by way of Unterammergau or whether he`ll come at all isn`t certain.”
Pg. 279
“It`s in dreams more than anywhere else that
you get to know people best-along with all their weaknesses and secrets.”
TTFN,
Ashley
