A few weeks ago, Kane Montgomery was in an accident that robbed him of his memory. The only thing he knows for certain is that the police found him half-dead in the river. The world as he knows it feels different-reality seems different. And when strange things start happening around him, Kane isn't sure where to turn.
And then three of his classmates show up, claiming to be his friends and the only people who can tell him what's truly going on. Kane doesn't know what to believe or who he can trust. But as he and the others are dragged into increasingly fantastical dream worlds drawn from imagination, it becomes clear that there is dark magic at work. Nothing in Kane's life is an accident, and only he can keep the world itself from unravelling.
Reverie is an intricate and compelling LGBT young adult book about the secret worlds we hide within ourselves and what happens when they become real.***

I'd never heard of the book or author before and was really looking forward to reading it. I loved the idea of a queer fantasy novel. I enjoyed the time I spent in Kane's fantastic and hugely entertaining world. The book starts of being quite light and fun aside from Kane's car accident. The ability to create new realities is a lot of fun at first. Then the book starts to take a dark turn when Kane realises the people who insist they're his friends start to show sinister intentions and world's being created start to become dark, twisting, unsettling and scary as hell at times. I didn't want to leave Kane's world when I entered it. This is highly original and unlike anything I've read before.
