Publisher's Summary

The number-one New York Times best-selling Beautiful Creatures series continues in this brand-new story.

Catch up with Ethan, Lena, and Link as they finally graduate from high school and get ready to leave the small Southern town of Gatlin. But when Dark Caster Ridley makes an appearance, the sometime bad girl can't resist picking a fight with her sometime boyfriend, Link. Angry and rebellious as ever, Ridley ends up alone in New York City and becomes entangled in the dangerous underground Caster club scene, where the stakes are high and losers pay the ultimate price.

Teaser...not a complete story

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book only to existing fans of the Beautiful Creatures series. You would have to know the history of the series to understand what's going on. For fans of Beautiful Creatures, it will be interesting to see where Ridley and Link end up as the new series progresses.

Would you be willing to try another book from Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl ? Why or why not?

Yes. I enjoyed the Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles) series for the most part. I will probably continue with the new Dangerous Creatures series.

What does Kevin T. Collins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I love Kevin T. Collins's narration. He has a wonderful voice. He did a great job as Ethan in the Beautiful Creatures series and I was happy to hear him again.

Could you see Dangerous Dream being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No. Aside from the fact that this is a very short story (not even a novella, really), the Beautiful Creatures movie was a stinker and I doubt they'll go down that road again.

Any additional comments?

I don't mind cliffhangers, but this was left unfinished. I realize it's meant to be a bridge between Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles) series and the new, upcoming Dangerous Creatures series, but the ending was abrupt.

Not my favorite book.

It was short but I still loved the story. Narrator did me no justice. I think if the story was read by someone with enthusiasm I would have loved it that much more but it didn't appeal to me like dangerous creatures. I had to keep rewinding 30 seconds back and sometimes even a chapter. I ended up checking out dangerous dream at my local library and LOVED IT.

loved it

Only issue was the book if you could call it that was very very short. I absolutely love the beautiful creature series. I can't say the same for the movie. and I wish there would be a remake. Also a series of movies to follow, and that fit the book alot better. I felt like the movie didn't follow the books at all. The movie was so different that I don't even think it should be called beautiful creatures. Anyway so far I'm in love with the book series Beautiful Creatures, but maybe excluding this short story about Ridley Duquesne. Only because its just one hour long, and doesn't specify what Ridley had to do after the game!

DANGEROUS DREAM

The problem with really good books, books that entice, tease the reader's imagination, is that they end all too soon. This short story begs to be expanded, the story to be revealed in order to further the legacy being developed around our heroes and villains alike. This is an excellent read, which, had I the talent, or influence, would expand.

Ok book, not at good as Beautiful Creatures series

This book was ok, not great but not terrible. I truely enjoyed the Beautiful Creatures series and was hoping to enjoy the Dangerous Dream series as much, sadly that didn't happen.

Interesting start to Ridley & Link's ever after

Ridley cannot stand that 4 letter word "LOVE." A few days after Link, Ethan, and Lena graduate, Link decides to lay it on Ridley. She goes into "flight or fight" mode and flees to other countries to get over Link. In the process, she misses spending the entire summer with everyone and finds herself in a game that she will regret playing. All of this is done to get over Link, but we all know she loves him, too!

Can't wait to find out how things play out in the "Dangerous Creatures" series.

disappointed

I liked the story it was just geting intresting and then it was over. it wasent worth the money.

Great Addition to the Series

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

TIME WELL SPENT! HECK YES! Even the most mundane novel in this series is still WELL WORTH THE TIME!

What other book might you compare Dangerous Dream to and why?

Personally, I get similar vibes to that of Twilight (roles reversed) but witty, more in depth characters.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

HECK YES!!!

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy coming of age love stories, anything supernatural, bro-mance, or YA novels, you should definitely give this series a chance! I love this series!
