Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz

She has nightmares about people close to her and their deaths. A little girl has already died because Stacey did not do anything about the nightmares she had about her. Now Stacey’s dreaming about her best friend Drea’s death.

It all started with some freaky emails and phone calls. Drea thinks it’s a “wrong number gone right.” The man on the other end asks her personal questions, such as how far she’s gone with a guy. Then someone gives leave white lilies for her, and white lilies resemble death. Stacey, who practices the art of Wicca, convinces Drea that this is no longer a game. The campus police don’t believe them; they think it’s some silly prank. Stacey, Amber, and Drea soon find out that Veronica, someone they are not entirely fond of, is also receiving white lilies and notes telling her to “mind her own business.” Everyone still believes it’s a foolish prank, until Veronica is brutally murdered on the same night Drea is kidnapped. There are no witnesses and no alibi, making everyone a suspect. Stacey knows she has to save Drea before it’s too late.

With normal teen drama, action, and the paranormal phenomenon, Blue Is For Nightmares is a very good read. The characters come to life with the unbearable high school drama and paranormal sense. It will keep you reading into the wee hours of the night, when the moon is up and the story gets that much more suspenseful.

Flowing well, Laurie Faria Stolarz does a wonderful job of hooking the reader in with this well-written novel. The characters pop from the book, sucking you into their world even faster than reality television does.

There are four books in the series so far, and they only get better. I highly recommend these books to teens who love spooky, mysterious series, like myself.
