The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett
16-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she’s a criminal. No, she’s a Nightmare. Literally. Dusty is a magical being who feeds on human dreams.
Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother’s infamy is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker’s house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He’s hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn’t get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder. The setting is Arkwell.
And then it comes true.
Now the Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she’s up to and marks her as the next target.

I've been absolutely DYING for this since I discovered it (2 months before the cover release) and doesn't it just grab you in? I mean, it definitely sounds original with her being a nightmare and this guy who just happens to dream of a murder--that comes true. WOW. Can I say WANT?
The cover sure does grab you and the plot sounds brilliant.

I love covers like this one. This one may just be one of my favorites. I just love it. And, what makes it even better? It sounds amazing. Absolutely amazing! I don't know know of many books with Nightmares, and that is a shame because the ones that I have read have been nothing but awesome. I think The Nightmare Affair has the potential to be a favorite for me!
