Megan Paasch

From debut author Megan Paasch comes Dream to Me , a YA contemporary fantasy about generational magic, grief, and what it takes to forgive ourselves.

Eva Sylvan didn’t ask for any of this. Not the cross-country move with her sister to a town in the middle of nowhere, not the family estate, inherited from a late great-aunt, that’s falling apart at the hinges, and definitely not the sudden death of her beloved father. So when the locals react with hostility to the very mention of her last name, Eva’s pretty sure things can’t get any worse.

Until she has a dream about a gas station employee and the next day, he’s in a coma.

And then it happens again.

Something sinister is lurking in the corners of Eva's dreams, something that’s having devastating effects on the waking world. People are dropping left and right, and Eva finds herself squarely in the town's crosshairs. In order to defeat the shadows of her unconscious, Eva must not only unearth the magic tied to her family history, but she must confront the guilt that has been haunting her since her father’s death. Only she can save the town from the dark power in her dreams - if the threat is truly even her dreams at all.

Dream to Me

Elena M.

It’s like stepping through a cobweb. You don’t want to do it. Every part of you is against it, until the need to get to the other side is greater than the fear, so you close your eyes, scrunch up your face, and then, barely feeling a thing, you step through.

“Forgiving myself is not excusing myself.” I repeat her words to the shadows around me, trying desperately to believe it. “And it’s not forgetting. It’s—it’s accepting. And learning. And changing.”

“Stop running from it, stop hiding, stop punishing yourself for something you can’t change.” And beating myself up about it isn’t going to fix it. “Learn from it, take responsibility for it, and do better. That’s what it means to forgive yourself, Daniel.”
