Well, I knew it would be magnificent and I was not wrong. Entirely compelling, exciting and thrilling to the very last second, this new adventure for Rachel and Robert Klein pushes the boundaries of life and death.
When the Book of Stolen Dreams was destroyed, Rachel was given a blood red key. This sequel begins some time later and Rachel is a hero of Krasnia, Constanza is president and Robert is preparing for the youth council. When a young boy gives Rachel a card and explains that she will know when to use the key she tries to share this with Robert. Rachel is disappointed to see that he is not interested and their father, Felix Kelis is still grieving and struggling with life without his wife.
The story deepens with the news of a stolen child in the Hinterland and the Meyers, our favourite ghost family, are hiding some deep secrets. Rachel decides to go after the child and bring her back but the full force of the truth is still to be discovered. This child has a purpose in the hinterland and it all comes down to the Truebloods, a noble family keen to live forever.
With just 24 hours before the key expires, Rachel must find Elsa and bring her home. It won’t be easy with Mary Trueblood and the familiar villain of Charles Malstain trying to change their fate.
I was so charmed and bowled over by the Book of Stolen Dreams. Sequels can sometimes just transport you back to a world where you loved being and that is certainly true of this adventure. Rachel and Robert are brilliantly written characters and they feel so real as you read about them and adventure with them.
This had me gripped and worried towards the end and I didn’t want it to stop! Get ordering this sequel, you won’t want to miss it!
