I.O.U.

Rating:
Summary: Haunted by a Killer in Her Dreams
Review: Lately, 16-year-old Sharon Anders has been having some horrific nightmares, ones in which she's being stalked and stabbed to death by an unknown stranger. With the help of her close friend, Chiku Williams, Sharon hopes to uncover the meaning of her dreams and find a way to finally put an end to them. However, unbeknown to Sharon, her parents have been keeping a dark secret about her birth and a murder that happened 17 years ago, both of which are important links to her torturous nightmares.

"I. O. U." is a great supernatural thriller ideal for teens who enjoy scary books about nightmares, demons, and curses. The only letdown is how quickly the bad guy is to identify (which seems to be a faulty pattern in a few of Nicholas Adams's books). Other than that, "I. O. U." is a fun and easy book to read. Additional dream-related teen thrillers you might like: "Dream Date" by Sinclair Smith (nightmares), "Sweet Dreams" by Kate Daniel (sleepwalking).
