"Home is where your books are."I preordered this as soon as I heard about it. And then I read it as fast as I could. And you know, I liked it, but not as much as Rubyred. Sometimes I just had the feeling the author tried too hard to be funny and romantic and in the end it was a little too much for my taste. (view spoiler)[ Satanic cults? Anabell as the evil crazy one? Naaah. (hide spoiler)]Still, I enjoyed this one, the characters were funny, the idea and what she made of it very original. And
“I was a barn owl a moment ago, honest,” 🦉 The subplots were great! Step siblings, mysterious dreams, the tittle-tattle blog, an upcoming ball, a demon, and more! It definitely makes you forget that you are reading.
Just like the Precious Gemstone Trilogy, this book had charming characters and great potential, but it just fell flat. Things were dragged out and I was just bored. This time I don't think I'll be continuing with the trilogy.
Not as amazing as Ruby Red trilogy, but still such a fun book! The general idea really reminded me of The Raven Boys honestly, though it reads very differently. Kind of like a Gossip GIrl with paranormal elements set in London.
I really, really liked the narrative voice, which was engaging and humorous. The story didn't feel as cohesive as I would have liked, however, and there are a lot of things going on, a lot of characters, and it just felt a bit all over the place. I am definitely interested in reading the author's Ruby Red trilogy now, though. I like the way she writes, I just hope the plot and characters are a bit more clear cut in her other series. Seems like other people are liking this one better, which I und...
I’m quite pleased to say that I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would! I really didn’t enjoy another series by this author so I was a bit skeptical about this one and definitely proved me wrong. It was an incredibly interesting concept and definitely unlike anything I’ve ever read. I also loved that it was a hell of a lot darker than I thought it would be and I was all for it. Demons and dream walking? Sign me up! My only minor complaint is that the relationships between the characte...
First off: no love triangle! Yay! Liv is a fun character and her dialogue was a hoot to read! She just tells it like it is. The story is quite the sassy and ridiculously fun romp! Oh, and the boys weren't so bad either ;)

I haven't had this much fun reading a book in a long time. Man, old ya is superior, even if it laks of emotions.
Hngh. This book's difficult. I'm not even sure I rated it correctly. I've been in a massive reading slump lately, and I've been seriously flagging with my reading challenge, which is disappointing, since I was smashing it for the first half of the year. Until about May, I was never less than 3 books ahead. Now I'm three books behind and bricking it. I thought this book might pull me from my funk, but it was a bust. This book was a pretty quick, easy read, and the best thing about it is the narra...
My two star rating said "It was okay.I think that's true because this book is okay. It's fun sometimes but it was overall disappointing. I was expecting something magical and fun and some adventure. Not 4 golden boys who made a pact with a devil. Enter this girl who says YES to the things that should be said NO to and who's sometimes badass but most of the time a tad annoying.So this is okay but I sure as hell want something different.
This is how books with a fantasy element should be: unique, like nothing you've ever read before. I've enjoyed reading this book a lot, happy to be continuing this story with book 2 and 3!
Upon 2017 reread: original review stands. Fun and entertaining. Finally continuing on with this series. ————————————————————This book was unexpectedly good! I am not going to lie, from the blurb, I was picturing a sort of The Raven Boys knock off story and the only similarities is that there are dreams, and 4 boys and a girl. Otherwise, they are nothing alike!Dream a Little Dream follows a hilarious girl named Olivia who moves to London and meets 4 boys in a dream one night, and these same four
This was a very interesting book and a quick read! I really enjoyed it and since I already own the other two books in the series, I'm definitely gonna read the second book now. The only negative things I can say about this book are that I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed "ruby red" and the other books in that series and I was also a little disappointed that the main character of this series reminded me a lot of the one of her other series. They were a little too similar for my liking and I h...
I have been stalling to read this series for 2 years, but I think I am ready now. One of my absolute favorite trilogies was written by Kerstin Gier and I am really hoping this one would be just as amazing, if not more.Also, that cover is GORGEOUS.-------------------------------Thoughts on the 1st half of the book “But maybe I wasn’t doing the film justice and it wasn’t the usual high school garbage with the malicious blond cheerleader, the charming but superficial football captain, and the imp...
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” ---- Edgar Allan PoeKerstin Gier, a German bestselling author's Silver trilogy is being translated into English by the popular English translator, Anthea Bell. So the translated version of the first book in this series, Dream a Little Dream has been released this month, that centers around the life of an unconventional teenager who is admitted to a new English school in London and so as her dreams take a new turn, exciting adventures are
Here’s my proof—I’m not the heartless bitch I thought I was for the last two years when it comes to rating and reviewing books. Often it’s just the books I read are bad (for me). Glad it took this reread to realize it because this book still holds up 100% for me and I had the best week in a while only because of the dream corridor and these amazing characters <3******Omg I really love Kerstin Gier's YA books!Time travel and dreams, could have I asked for something better?Her characters are also
***Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog***Dream A Little Dream by Kerstin GierBook One of the Silver TrilogyPublisher: Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) Publication Date: April 14, 2015Rating: 4 starsSource: ARC sent by the publisherSummary (from Goodreads):Mysterious doors with lizard-head knobs. Talking stone statues. A crazy girl with a hatchet. Yep, Liv’s dreams have been pretty weird lately. Especially this one where she’s in a graveyard at night, watching four boys perform dark magic rituals.
Oh boy! It was so refreshing! Just what I needed. I hadn't read anything in months because I was in the WORST reading slump of my life. And all the cutziness and fluffiness of this cloudy book got me out of the slump. I mean who can resist the charms of dream traveling??? “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”♥This book was full of gossipy shenanigans! Liv's life couldn't be any more cliche. Divorced, career-obsessed parents, a loving nanny, future ex-step father and his family...
I am seriously loving this author. I am so glad I picked up both her trilogies! This series is like a Freddy style creepy plot that makes a person double think the safety of dreams. Not really a horror but still intriguing!
