Blog Tour: Review and Giveaway of The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett

Welcome to Unabridged Bookshelf's stop on The Nightmare Affair blog tour! Today I have a review and a tour wide giveaway to share with you, but make sure you check out all the amazing things going on during this tour by clicking the banner above!

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Nightmare Affair (The Arkwell Academy, #1)
Title: The Nightmare Affair
Author: Mindee Arnett
Series: The Arkwell Academy #1
Publisher: Tor Teen
Publication Date: March 5, 2013
Length: 367 Pages

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.

Waiting on Wednesday: The Nightmare Affair


 

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we cannot wait to get our hands on.

 I am waiting on:

Why do I want to read The Nightmare Affair?
I like the idea of a living Nightmare, the only one I have come across in Young Adult books is Sabine from the Soul Screamers series. I think Dusty is going to be more of the mystery solver, amatuer sleuth. I think that is a book that is right up my alley, and I really cannot wait to read this one. 
I am lucky enough to be participating in the blog tour for The Nightmare Affair, organized by Shane's Itching for Books
