About Awaken: A Psychological Thriller Novel (Lucid)
His biggest wish was to control his dreams. His biggest regret came when he could. After the 10-year memorial of his dad’s disappearance behind enemy lines, 17-year-old Jack Traeger discovers his dad’s journal. From the journal, Jack learns that his dad tried lucid dream therapy to reduce the symptoms of PTSD—a secret Jack’s alcoholic mother kept from him for reasons unknown. Yearning for a connection with his father, he studies the journal and practices lucid dreaming in secret. But as he masters the art, he uncovers the terrifying reason behind his mother's secrecy: Some things aren’t meant to be controlled. Jack's life unravels as the border between dreams and reality dissolves. His paranoia is fueled by a mysterious black van outside their home, and shortly after, a body is discovered, with fingers pointing toward Jack. Who do you trust when you don’t trust yourself? Will Jack be able to prove his innocence? Or will he mysteriously disappear, just like his father?
