The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett is out today.
I love Sarah Goldberg. Here’s one reason why:
One weekend in early June, while I was at a conference, Sarah emailed me. She said:
“I think you need to read this…”
I was tired and overworked at said conference and I was supposed to leave for New Zealand for my first vacation in forever to visit my sister (who was there picking kiwis, I kid you not). But I trusted Sarah so I opened up The Nightmare Affair, thinking I would read a little and see what I thought.
Several hours later, I was finished. And I thought: If I don’t work on this book I will die.
I called Mindee on Monday before I left for New Zealand and gushed about how much I loved this book, then I checked my email as obsessively as New Zealand’s internet cafes would allow until I received the email from Mindee saying she wanted to work with me too. Then I enjoyed the rest of my vacation.
I am beyond excited that this book is out in the world today for other people to love it as much as I do. Dusty is more than just a character. She’s amazing—I want her to be my best friend.
Sixteen-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she’s a criminal. No, she’s a Nightmare.
Literally.
Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother’s infamy, is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker’s house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He’s hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn’t get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder.
Then Eli’s dream comes true.
Now Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she’s up to and marks her as the next target.
The Nightmare Affair, by Mindee Arnett, publishes on March 5th!

Like many adults, I’m still enthralled with young adult books, and specifically paranormal YA. I can’t help but get swept up in the clash between mythology and regular teen angst. If you’re the same way, you’ll be just as excited to read The Nightmare Affair as I was.
