    About this ebook

    I know you're alone . . . Shattered by her boyfriend's tragic death, Stacey is struggling in her first year of college, hoping that somehow, somewhere, Jacob is still alive. Now her nightmares are back, haunted by ghosts and misery. Casting healing spells brings Stacey closer to Porsha—a troubled girl who's also dreaming of death—and to a strange boy whose life is in danger. To save him, it'll take all the strength and magic they've got. And maybe even cost them their lives.

    Laurie Faria Stolarz

    Laurie Faria Stolarz (Massachusetts) has a great interest in teen culture, and admires young adults for their passion, energy, and creativity. Blue is for Nightmares is the product of her desire to write a novel that would have appealed to herself at that age, namely one that has a blending of suspense, romance, and the art of keeping secrets. Stolarz has an MFA in Creative Writing with a concentration in Young Adult Literature from Emerson College in Boston. She currently teaches writing and is a member of the SCBWI as well as several professional writing groups.

      This book offers a very different atmosphere from the other books, yet is still very enjoyable. The narration is shared between Stacey and a man named Shell, who has no memory of his past. The shared narration flows beautifully. However, the mystery aspect wasn't as high in this story and it was rather easy to figure out the role that Shell would be playing. But it's a great read and a great conclusion to Stacey's story.Series order: Blue, White, Silver, Red, Black

      The final book in the Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Faria Stolarz. This book was a good read and good conclusion to the series. I didn't think it was as good as the previous books though. This book didn't have nearly the suspense elements of the previous books.In this book Stacey is at college and rooming with Amber. After Jacob's death she is fighting to not succumb completely to depression, when she starts having nightmares again. The president of the university contacts her and wants her to help his daughter Porscha, who also has strange dreams about death that are driving her crazy. Stacey's dream are hinting that maybe if she can help Porscha than she can save another boy's life; why does Stacey get the feeling this all has something to do with Jacob?This was an easy read, a well-written book, and a nice conclusion to the series. That being said I was a little disappointed with the book in general. This book never had the creepiness of the previous books. In fact there weren't really many horror elements at all. There was a little mystery but not nearly to the degree of the previous books. As for the chapters alternating between Stacey and the mysterious Shell; I figured out the part that Shell would play in the story right in the beginning and was disappointed to find out I was right. I kind of felt like Stolarz was sick of writing this series and just wanted to wrap it up in the quickest way possible; and in a way that would leave her readers happy and not disgruntled.This was a fine conclusion to the series but I really felt like Stolarz didn't put much into the story; she is extraordinary at writing creepy horror scenes but she kind of skipped out on that for this book. I was just so disappointed. Should you read the book? Well you kind of have to given how "Silver is for Secrets" left us all completely hanging mid-scene. Will I read more books by Stolarz after reading this series? Probably not. Although it would be interesting for her to do a couple books about Porscha.

      The Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Faria Stolarz has been one of my favorites for a while now. These stories are about witchcraft. I love the darkness and suspense of these books. Certain aspects will really stick with you (the Miss Marry Mack rhyme in White is for Magic comes to mind. *shivers*)

      Stacey Brown can't believe that she's going to the prestigious Beacon University mere months after the disappearance of her boyfriend Jacob, whose body was never found after the accident on the cruise. How is she going to deal with a normal life? To top it all off, she has a freakishly happy and bubbly roommate, Janie, in addition to her good friend Amber, she's been having trouble sleeping, and she's not dreaming about Jacob at all, no matter how hard she tries. But then the president of the university asks her to help his daughter, Porsha, who's been having nightmares too. It takes a while to get Porsha to open up to her, but when she does, Stacey is shocked. Porsha's been dreaming about the death of a boy in a cult commune. And why does Stacey feel like Jacob is somehow connected to all of this? Meanwhile, interspersed between Stacey's first-person narrative is a third-person POV of a guy named Shell, who's living in a strict commune with confusing morals. Shell doesn't remember anything about his past, only a few spells he can do with herbs. But he still has the feeling that there's something, someone he's missing in his life. Shell's best friend Brick is in trouble with the commune's big guy, Clay, and they both want to get out of there. At the same time, Porsha and Stacey race to save the dying boy in Porsha's dreams. Stacey thinks that the boy might be Porsha's soulmate, just like how Jacob traveled all the way to Hillcrest Prep to find Stacey nearly two years ago. But what does this have to do with her? Readers will probably figure out the ending pretty early on, but the chapters are suspenseful, and towards the end you cannot put the book down. Though I was sort of disappointed in the ending, feeling like it should have been more resolved, RED IS FOR REMEMBRANCE was a thoroughly entertaining read.

      Summary:The final book in the Blue is for Nightmares collection, Stacey and a new friend are dreaming again. Her dread of Jacob is put on hold as someone somewhere is in trouble again.Review: It was my favorite one i the series. Suspenseful I couldn't believe she killed Jacob! It's so confusing going back from "Shell" to Stacey. But it comes together peice by peice.
