Summary:
The day before moving into her new dorm, college freshman, Maya Lilac, has a haunting dream that ends with her coming face-to-face with a second version of herself. After being haunted by the dream during move-in day, she finally comes in contact with her double, nicknamed “Lucent”, and learns that she actually has powers and can—among other things—make her dreams come true.


Maya’s heritage, however, runs deeper when she discovers that she’s the True Dreamer, a person reaching back as far as Joan of Arc that’s tasked with protecting her species, as well as the world, from any and all threats… including her seemingly-peaceful and non-combative double. But, not everyone shares Maya’s vision that her clone isn’t out to harm anybody, especially her mother. As Maya and her mother fight over whether Lucent is a legitimate threat, Maya trains in her now-active powers to fulfill her destiny of protecting the world, whether she has to take care of Lucent or not.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion.

I am so glad I signed up for the DREAMER blog tour because I probably wouldn't have picked up this NA Fantasy if I hadn't done so. I thought there were a lot of really good things about this one, especially the premise and the main character, Maya. However, there were some downsides to this that I think another round of beta readers and/or edits would have solved. Such is the case with self-published books, but I definitely still recommend checking this one out if you are looking for a true coming of age story!
