Summary
from Goodreads:
***Paddle boards, bonfires & bikinis
won’t help Penny. She craves the boy from the woods; not knowing she’s already
caught in his nightmare. ***
Penny’s nightmare is ruling her life and she doesn’t know why. It started a few
months ago, and since then Red Bulls, 5-hour Energy Shots, and Starbucks
drive-thru are her lifeline.
When Penny’s parents decide to take their research of a rare Native American
cult to a remote cabin for the summer, she's less than enthused.
Then Penny meets Delsin in a clearing in the woods, and her view of the world
awakens. Apathy defines her, but Delsin lives life to it’s fullest. A
shaman-in-training, he is everything Penny is not.
Each morning she comes to the woods, handing pieces of her heart to him, but
when Penny is confronted with her worst nightmare, Delsin asks for a sacrifice
Penny didn’t see coming.

Tell
us five things about yourself readers wouldn’t know!
1) In The Dream Catcher, Penny gets sucked into several TV series. I have
plenty of guilty-pleasure-shows myself. Namely (don’t judge!), The Bachelor.
I’ve been watching it for years (with my husband!). We were even in a
Fantasy-Bachelor-League last year together, which, just to clarify, was like
Fantasy-Football, not the Fantasy-Suite! And he beat me. I KNOW!
2) When I was in Jamaica a few years ago I went to this cliff diving spot
where people were doing crazy jumps. I was like, I so got this! One hundred
feet? Ain’t no thing! Until I got to the ledge. Then I was like, Umm, I’m going
to do the ten foot jump…
In The Dream Catcher Penny and Delsin take cliff and waterfall jumps, and
that is seriously impressive. Because, apparently, I’m not that badass.
3) In The Dream Catcher Penny has a reoccurring nightmare that is freaking
her out and so she’s trying to stay awake for as long as possible. Obviously
she has extenuating circumstances that are keeping her from getting some shut
eye, but I love sleep way too much to stay awake that long. I’m an eight or ten
hours-a-night kinda girl. And I still need coffee to function.
4) Penny and Ollie are best friends and their relationship is central in
The Dream Catcher. Growing up is crazy hard and complicated, but so is just
being a person in general. That’s why friends and finding your people is so
important. However, I’m a little jealous of the proximity Penny and Ollie live
to one another. Like, they live in the same house for most of the novel. My
best friend lives across the country so we rely on texts and FaceTime and voice
memos to keep in touch. Thank goodness for WiFi!
5) I’ve never made out under a waterfall. In The Dream Catcher Penny and
Delsin do, and I’m kinda jealous. It seems terribly romantic. I need to remedy
this, stat.
