Warehouse-Dreams02 (2).jpeg

Kendle’s job is on the line every time she rescues a Wild teen. But Wilds, with their uncontrolled psychic abilities, need her help. They need the chronically underfunded Warehouse, the only school available for Wilds. But accepting a teen with potentially dangerous abilities puts her at odds with her boss; refusing means the teen faces life institutionalized, sedated, and under restraint.

Stephen, the new telepathy teacher, is a Bred. His wealthy parents paid for his perfect genetic code. He’s not used to the Warehouse’s long hours, to students who float beds through walls during nightmares or send fishbowls through windows—not to mention the food sucks. The only bright spot is the fascinating Wild teacher in the next room who plays amazing cello or guitar music late at night.

Kendle doesn’t think Stephen belongs at the Warehouse, but when he helps save her and her students from a violent mob, she wonders if she was wrong and if a Bred like Stephen might fall for a Wild like her.

But Kendle has little time for romance. As society ramps up its hatred of Wilds and the Warehouse’s resources stretch desperately thin, Kendle must find a way to keep the director from expelling the most gifted students as dangers to the school

In this well-written, fast-paced, sci-fi romance, Halverson explores the time-honored science fiction question – what will happen if we alter genetic code for the rich and famous?

*****

I was hooked within the first two pages. There is no gentle introduction, describing the setting, characters, motivations. Instead you are immediately in the story as a full participant. Buy today!

*****

Read Warehouse Dreams if you want to read about likable characters with flaws, and have an adventure that will keep you reading!

*****

Not only is this a fun and enjoyable read, but got me thinking about real world issues. And it includes a great, authentic romance!

*****

Watch out for flying fishbowls, imploding buildings, and soul-searching fireworks. Enjoy the read! There has to be a sequel!

*****

Theresa has written [Kendle] with one of the most accurate depictions of a teacher's heart I have ever read, and for that, I will always love her.

*****

I really liked this book. I liked the use of varying abilities, and the importance of being different. It is a bit dark from the way the world is set up. The story has a couple weird time jumps, it isn't sequential day to day, but it still works.
