Books with title Insomnia

It's been four years since I slept, and I suspect it is killing me. Instead of sleeping, Parker Chipp enters the dream of the last person he's had eye contact with. He spends his nights crushed by other people's fear and pain, by their disturbing secrets--and Parker can never have dreams of his own. The severe exhaustion is crippling him. If nothing changes, Parker could soon be facing psychosis and even death. Then he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him blissful rest that is utterly addictive. Parker starts going to bizarre lengths to catch Mia's eye every day. Everyone at school thinks he's gone over the edge, even his best friend. And when Mia is threatened by a true stalker, everyone thinks it's Parker. Suffering blackouts, Parker begins to wonder if he is turning into someone dangerous. What if the monster stalking Mia is him after all?

"I caught my reflection in the mirror and looked at the girl staring back at me. Long, brown hair, falling over thin shoulders; tanned skin; green eyes; arms wrapped in bandages, hiding scars.And at once, I was able to see what everybody else saw.I had become the monster of fairytales. A creature that was feared, and had to be locked away forever."Jodi Collins is a Sleepwalker.An outcast. A pariah.Five years ago, she was attacked by a creature darker than shadows, a demon without a face, a monster hungry for her body: a Nightprowler.A nightmare that comes to life as soon as the sun sets, drenching the world in darkness.When a Nightprowler attacks you, two things can happen: it will either claim your body to use as a host, or it will mark you as a Sleepwalker.Sleepwalkers are feared and despised, believed to conspire with the Nightprowlers and threaten mankind.Stigmatized by the telltale scars of the Night, Jodi and her parents were forced to move to the slums of Reid, where the alleys are filled with vagrants during the day, and Nightprowlers during the night.

It seems like it can only be defeated by another creature of the dark: a Sleepwalker.Unable to refuse this mission and the money it will earn her, Jodi sets out to find the Nightprowler—but not on her own.Help comes in the form of the arrogant Kay Somnus, a young Summoner disgusted by Sleepwalkers. And yet, they have to find a way to combine their forces and exorcize this Nightprowler.Jodi’s future depends on this mission—but what does Kay expect to gain from it?A castle of darkness and storms, filled with whispers and skulls.Secrets will be revealed. Lives will be changed.Neither Jodi nor Kay will ever be the same.
