Charlotte is an Oracle, a person who sees the future. The bad part is that she is never supposed to interfere with what she sees, so she and the rest of the Oracles constantly fight off their visions even though it causes them pain. When Charlotte gets a vision she can't fight off about a classmate being murdered, she starts to question why she can't stop the tragedy starting to happen around her. When a mysterious man named Smith who seems to know about Oracles wants to help, Charlotte will be forced to trust him if she ever wants to stop the killer.

As a huge fan of Aprilynne Pike's books, I was so excited to see what she would do with oracles and murders. In SLEEP NO MORE , Pike provides an incredible psychological thriller mixed with the supernatural. I completely adore Charlotte with her strong heart. The way her visions work are so fascinating, and the supernatural world surrounding the normal world Pike creates is stunning. What I love most is that while Charlotte battles the future and her powers, her deepest struggles are within herself. She has to decide what she will stand for and who she will stand against and what dreams she may have to sacrifice for the betterment of the future. Her fight is all too realistic and at times, her growth is just plain beautiful to read.

The love interest, Linden, is so completely adorable and tragic at the same time what with all the killing going on around them. There are moments that will nearly rip your heart out, and as necessary as they are, it's still a hard task to fight off tears. I am desperately in need of the sequel just so I can admire the sheer strength some of the characters have developed just by going through what they do.

Filled with jaw-dropping twists and turns, SLEEP NO MORE is a book you don't want to miss. Aprilynne Pike has written another stellar novel of oracles, love of all sorts, and the ultimate challenge of finding your own moral stance.

Book Summary

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 mother wouldn't be in a wheelchair—and 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 who also claims to have a way for her to manipulate her visions to change the future. But doing this means Charlotte must put herself in the path of the murderer.
