A Midnight So Deadly by Wren Handman

When dreams infect the waking world, what threats—and promises—do they bring? Maeve and Peri are 'dreamers, ' creators who record their dreams and publish them to the delight of their fans. When Maeve dreams of the murder of her friend's abusive ex—and then he's killed in the real world—her "dream" job becomes terrifying. At the same time, Peri is losing their grip on reality as they search for a woman who keeps appearing in their dreams. Who is this enticing stranger? How does she keep finding Peri, night after night? And what will it cost to hunt her down? To find the answers to their questions, Maeve and Peri will first have to find each other. As their dreams begin to bleed into the real world, and the borders between reality and illusion come unstuck, reality itself faces deadly collapse.

The book is a dual POV from two dreamers with vastly different personalities. The characters are done well. Their contrast is evident, and the representation they hold for the LGBTQ+ communities are evident. I love bold characters, and this book has two great ones.
