Publisher's summary

In this pulse-pounding prequel to the Night Sky series by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Suzanne Brockmann and her daughter Melanie Brockmann, Skylar has her first brush with Destiny. She's about to meet a boy who will change her life - and a girl who wants to end it.

I know her.

Know her from inside the dreams. Inside those terrible, murderous, bloody dreams. I've heard her - screaming, her voice mixing in an awful chorus with all those other girls. Little girls.

Please, God.

That's what one of the little girls keeps saying, in the dream that is not justa dream. Please, God.

But I know better. There's no escaping this fate. This is destiny.

I must kill Skylar.

Skylar Reid is the new girl at school. Her mom just moved them to Florida - a.k.a. the Land of the Living Dead, where the average age of her new neighbors is seventy-five - to start over. Skylar is not a fan of the change or her total lack of friends. Then she meets Calvin, a funny, sarcastic boy who doesn't let being in a wheelchair stop him from verbally shredding their preppy classmates. Skylar's just about to decide her new school's not a total loss, when an odd girl wearing an oversize trench coat in the murderous southern heat declares, "You're one of us!" and then tries to kill her.

Nice introduction to the series.

High school junior Skyler Reid is not happy. Her mother has moved them from Connecticut to Florida where she is the "new girl" in school. Her over-protective mother makes her ride the bus, and she has no friends. One day she approaches another kid, Calvin, who seems to be a loner. They hit it off right away and she's finally made a friend. As Sky talks to Calvin, she notices a girl wearing a trench coat in the Florida heat. The girl is listening to their conversation intently...then she approaches Sky, opening her coat.

This is a prequel novella to the Night Sky series written by Suzanne Brockmann & Melanie Brockmann. I'm not sure where the series is going to take us, but this novella was an interesting introduction to the characters. I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by Melanie Brockmann. It took me a little while to get used to her voice, but she ended up doing a decent job.

Good but feels incomplete

The story is good. I did enjoy it but wish the whole series have more info and storyline with Sky’s mom and possibly band teacher. Cause it does sound like they know but doesn’t get into how they would know and I think that part is lacking. Or at least could make another short story

Great intro!

Great intro to the series. Looking forward to the next story. Funny and suspenseful with well-rounded characters.

interesting

This short prequel is quite interesting and it draws one in. it makes one want to read the next book.

Horrible narration

Would be mad if I paid anything for this, but I listened for free. Still would not recommend it. Maybe the story wasn’t bad, but the narration was so bad. It was hard to tell.

pretty good for a prequel

I decided to try these books, because I like the like this kind of genres. And since it was included in my membership. I didn't have to use a credit if I didn't like them. ( I know! Very shallow of me! But, it's the truth. We all do it. get over it. lol) Anyway, I actually liked it. Everything BUT the tempted school shooting. I mean, come on. Don't we have enough of that in the real world?.

Still, it grabbed my attention from the beginning, and kept it till the end. Would I tell teen's to listen to it? hmmm I doubt it. My taste is very different from those around me. But I love the fact this was a family effort, and I'm glad I downloaded it!

Young book

A book for middle-aged young generation. I listen to it Condo with one earand enjoyed it but it’s a young person‘s book

interesting

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book.
I thought the narrator did a fine job.

New Friends.

This is a little ‘How do you do?’ intro to the series. So far so good. But can trigger some people, since the story brings a gun to school. Lots of typical high school angst. It is dangerous for the author to narrate their own work; it usually is not good; in this book she does an okay job.

Quick taste

Quick taste of the series. A high school teen thwarts a shooting with the help of her wheelchair bound friend
