Did she pick up and RUN? No! She continued to trust him. Then he goes on to tell her that he’s been stalking her, but casually, since she was a ten year old! If he hadn’t already set off my stranger danger warnings this was out of control. Why didn’t you? page 54Īnd what does she do? She calls the guy and meets up with him! I would never do that and I can’t fathom anyone in their right mind being that trusting. You are the only one who could have helped her. She was completely naïve and this will be a spoiler but a very slight one since it happens maybe fifty pages into the book. Second problem was with Charlotte herself. I can’t go into details or examples without being spoilery but I’ll just say that I think it was unbelieavable that Charlotte would be so in the dark about her powers. I had two glaring issues with this story-one being that Charlotte’s aunt was so secretive about oracle knowledge. Following along Charlotte’s story I was always removed from what she was experiencing and never felt the fear, stress or anxiety she felt. I found Pike’s writing to be easy to read though it does tend to be simplistic and lacks the real emotion that I’d hope to find in such a deep and disturbing subject. Sleep No More offered a fun reading experience with a fast paced plot and a subject I find interesting…Oracles and changing the future. But when a premonition of a classmate’s death is too strong for her to ignore, Charlotte is forced to make an impossible decision: continue following the rules or risk everything-even her sanity-to stop the serial killer who is stalking her town. She sees it every day in her wheelchair-bound mother and the absence of her father. And Charlotte knows the price of breaking the rules. Instead of using their miraculous power, modern-day Oracles are told to fight their visions-to refrain from interfering. She is an Oracle and has the ability to tell the future.
