Synopsis

The blockbuster film Inception meets Lisa McMann's Wake trilogy in this dark paranormal thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Aprilynne Pike. This supernatural young adult novel is perfect for fans of Kelley Armstrong, Alyson Noël, Richelle Mead, and Kimberly Derting.

Charlotte Westing has a gift. She is an Oracle and has the ability to tell the future. But it doesn't do her much good. Instead of using their miraculous power, modern day Oracles are told to fight their visions--to refrain from interfering. And Charlotte knows the price of breaking the rules. She sees it every day in her wheelchair-bound mother and the absence of her father. But when a premonition of a classmate's death is too strong for her to ignore, Charlotte is forced to make an impossible decision: continue following the rules or risk everything--even her sanity--to stop the serial killer who is stalking her town.

About this title

Review:

"Sleep No More was both imaginative and exciting--a mixture of a classical fantasy and a contemporary thriller. I enjoyed it immensely."--Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Steelheart

"Sleep No More is a supernatural thriller with tight pacing, brilliant world-building, and a fascinating heroine with an all-too-human mix of frailty and power. Twisty and mystical and satisfying. I couldn't put it down."--Dan Wells, author of Partials

"There's plenty of action, gore, and romance in this quick-paced read that will appeal to Pike's many fans."--ALA Booklist

"Pike's newest novel is a thrilling paranormal mystery with a hint of romance. Teen girls, fans of Pike's previous novels and those who are just discovering her will enjoy this unique, quick read."--School Library Journal

"Adrenaline junkies and fantasy lovers should both be satisfied with the story, the characters, and the exciting conclusion."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

PRAISE FOR LIFE AFTER THEFT: "In a refreshing departure from her plant-based paranormal-romance series, Pike develops the pleasantly fractious relationship between Jeff and Kimberlee in Jeff's earthy, humorous first-person. This brisk, down-to-earth thriller should appeal equally to male and female readers."--Kirkus Reviews

"A whirlwind adventure full of secrets, lies, unlikely friendships, and romance."--School Library Journal

"Jeff's journey to real empathy takes on issues crucial and relevant to teens: the price of popularity, the importance of being true to one's beliefs, and the need to stand up for others."--ALA Booklist

PRAISE FOR THE WINGS SERIES: "Wings is a remarkable debut; the ingenuity of the mythology is matched only by the startling loveliness with which the story unfolds."--Stephenie Meyer, bestselling author of the Twilight Saga

"Spells is brilliant and lovely. Aprilynne Pike's talent just continues to bloom and I am almost afraid to see how awesome her next book will be."--Carrie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of the Need series

From the Back Cover:

Oracles see the future.

But they are never supposed to interfere. Charlotte learned that the hard way. If she hadn't tried to change one of her childhood visions, her father would still be alive.

Since that fateful accident, Charlotte has tried to suppress her visions. But when she receives a premonition of a classmate's murder, she knows she can no longer sit idly by.

Then she meets Smith, a man who not only knows Charlotte's secret but also claims to have a way for her to catch the killer. He offers to teach Charlotte how to manipulate her visions to change the future. But doing this means Charlotte must put herself in the path of the murderer. . . .
