The Nightmare Affair is the debut book in the Arkwell Academy about a girl named Dusty. She is one of the few nightmares remaining in the world, and she attends Arkwell School. The school teaches all the magical beings how to live and function in this world without other people noticing them. She is not famous in the school, and since her mother left a bad reputation in the school when she was a student there, dusty goes through a tough time. She is tired of being forced to follow her mother’s revolutionary shadow and tries to get her own identity in the school with many magical beings. Dusty is seen as a lesser being since she is a half- breed and has to deal with the negative comments she is already in the school. She does not take the remarks solemn, and she is very humble and trusts in her few friends; she has who turn out to be loyal to her.

She gained her powers a year ago, and now like a nightmare, she gets powers from dreaming people by breaking into their houses at night. All she has to do is sit on the chest of the person in the middle of dreaming and goes into their dreams and absorbs them. On this particular night, she finds herself on the chest of Eli, her old admirer. Eli is dreaming of a murder that happened at Arkwell Academy. He awakens and resists her spell, and it turns out that both of them have magical powers and later he is sent to Arkwell School.

At Arkwell School, there is someone who for some time now has been murdering the people there, and dusty starts investigating the bottom of all the killings. She joins hands with Eli and begins the investigations and while on their mission, Dusty’s mother sneaks into the school. More strange things start to happen; some people get hurt and dusty ends up discovering more about herself and her nature. The characters in the story are well balanced, and the mystery is intriguing with some romance and friendship. Eli’s relationship to Dusty is a complicated one as they are in other relationships, and both have reasons to dislike the other, but they manage to work together without minding their complicated relationship.

At first, Eli acts weird, but he is still human, and how he behaves around Dusty is sweet and romantic. Dusty is a smart character and a believable teenager, and although she puts herself into some awkward situation as she goes on with the investigations, she manages to get out of them. It is quite interesting to find out what has exactly been happening after hunting the killer for some time, finding out the reason and the person behind all this. The ending of the book is intense. And the last chapters are more touching, and the reveal of the killer is quite satisfying

In the book, you find some paranormal creatures called magic kind which is further divided into three; nature kinds such as the mermaids, witch kinds such as the wizards and the darkened such as the nightmares, demons, and vampires. There is also a force known as The Will which prevents the magic kind from misbehaving, but as the story unveils, there are more complex things than one could imagine.
