Where do I start? This book wasn't what I was expecting after reading the blurb about it, I have mixed feelings for this book, and I'm torn between rating it a 2.5 and 3. It took me a while to get into and I wasn’t sure about it but it eventually picked up; the last 30% of the book was when I really was sucked in, and really brought the story to life, so I'm giving it a 3.5, just because of that.
The main character Brenna was in a car accident that caused her to enter into the Fade, a type of spiritual plane. But she managed to force her spirit back to her body, but the Fade never really let her fully escape. In fact, every time she fall asleep she returns back to it in spirit form, she can also see and hear spirits.And, she never encountered any problems. Before now, that is.
Besides having these abilities, Brenna also has to deal with the problems of a typical college freshman including maintaining her independence from overprotective parents, suffering through a large class load, arguing with her party girl roommate, and befriending a couple who though are nice often cause her to feel like a third wheel.
I liked the realism, how the author actually made the characters have sooo much to deal with including their school work, but i felt like it was an overwhelming amount of, 'I gotta go to class," "I can't go out have to finish this project," I guess that's what we get for the main characters living in a college dorm. It was the whole vibe for the first half of the book, mixed with a few occurrences of Brenna's 'abilities'.... until near the end that it. But yeah!
To Dream Is To Die is an interesting read with a different take on what it means to be a spirit/ghost/demon. The entire concept is pretty cool. I definitely like the idea and thought behind it.
The world of the Fade is intriguing, and I kinda liked that we only got a taste of it, but at the same time I REALLY want to know more!! This series has a lot of potential and I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series. I recommend it.
