The Nightmare Charade by Mindee Arnett
It’s her junior year at Arkwell Academy and Dusty Everhart just wants to be alone with her boyfriend, Eli Booker. But fate is literally keeping them apart. See, Dusty is a Nightmare, who can enter Eli’s dreams to find clues to the future, but an ancient curse predicts that any romance between them is doomed to end in tragedy. Dusty and Eli are willing to take that risk, but the authorities disagree—and have assigned a chaperone to make sure their relationship is strictly platonic.
As if that’s not bad enough, they’ve been recruited by the Department of Intelligence for Magickind Secrecy (D.I.M.S.) to use their dream-seer bond to help recover the most powerful object of black magic known to magickind. The Animus Mortem can raise the dead by stealing the souls of the living… which makes tracking it down a genuine matter of life and death.
To make matters worse, one of Dusty’s friends is accused of murder, and is counting on her to clear his name.
Dusty has too many dreams, too many commitments, and too many people looking over her shoulder, but a Nightmare seldom plays by the rules. Curse or no curse, chaperone or not, she has to go deep into Eli’s dreams if she’s going to find the truth—and discover a way for them to truly be together at last!
A message from Mindee herself!:
Hello! And thanks for coming to my “official” cover reveal. By that I mean, the cover has been leaked for months now, but we’re not going to let that stop us from celebrating! So firstly, can I just say how much I love this one? I’ve been lucky in all my covers for the Arkwell Academy series, but I adore this color so much. We almost made book 2 this color, but it worked out so much better for this one. Thanks so much to the artist Kate Forester and to my brilliant editor, Whitney Ross.
So what exactly are we looking at here with the strange boat and river scene? Well, if you guessed “dream sequence” then you’re right. Charade starts off two months after the end of The Nightmare Dilemma. Dusty has just returned from a summer-long tour of Europe with her mother, and she’s eager to reconnect with Eli. But of course their reunion doesn’t go as
planned when they are interrupted by a magickind special agent who has come to recruit them for a special—and dangerous—task.
What else can you expect? Well, there’s kissing, and magic, old enemies and new, and kissing, and scary dreams, and good friends, and action, oh and more kissing. Sadly, there are also a few casualties as well. This really is the end of the story for Dusty and Eli, but I hope you enjoy the ride!
Guys, I don't know about you, but I'm super excited to finally get my hands on this one, even more after that cruel ending for book 2 and also a lil sad because we'll be saying goodbye to Dusty and Eli!

I haven't had much luck with the series overall, but I really love the coves, all of them! And it sucks when the cover leaks out. It happened to Ann here and there and it made her sad. But Mindee's right. There's still plenty to celebrate and be happy about.
ReplyDeleteYeah, cover leaks aren't cool at all, but still, the cover is fantastic!!
DeleteWOO HOO!!!!! I couldn't be more excited for this one Pili! I love this series and Mindee so much. She's one of those authors that can do no wrong for me. MORE ELI AND DUSTY!
ReplyDeleteMindee is one of my auto-buy authors too!! She's all sorts of amazing, isn't she??
DeleteOh, I absolutely adore the cover. I always have a soft spot for drawn covers because the symbolisms can be endless :) And I love how it's green. Does each cover specialize on one color only? I remember a book in this series being in all pink!
ReplyDeleteFaye at The Social Potato
Yep, the first book was all pink and the second book all blue! All gorgeous!!
DeleteThe cover is gorgeous! Sounds like an interesting series....
ReplyDeleteKate @ Ex Libris
It's a lot of fun of a series, Kate! And yes, the cover is gorgeous!!
DeleteWait. Was this cover already released before today? I feel like I had already seen it! In any case, I like this one! Green, different from the other two, I like how the colors vary per cover. I've not read this series, but I liked Arnett's Avalon and Polaris!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Not revealed, but leaked on Goodreads, so I'm sure you've seen it there! ;)
DeleteYay :D Gorgeous post Pili. <3 This I'm also oh so excited for this book. It looks so gorgeous. The cover is awesome :D Thank you for sharing sweetie. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you Carina sweetie!
DeleteGreen isn't my favourite cover, but I love the illustration in this cover, it looks like it's a really charming read.
ReplyDeleteI love this series and although green is not my fave colour, this one I love!!
