4 Stars!!
A dreamcaster with the ability to channel creatures from her
nightmares, headstrong and cynical Kalila Montgomery longs for a peaceful,
picket-fence life… until the man literally of her dreams kidnaps her.
Survival quickly becomes her number one goal, yet a growing attraction to the man in her nightmares is impossible to ignore. While she fears he will kill her, other, more terrifying enemies surround her, and Kalila succumbs to his scheme to escape. She may be his one hope for freedom…
A deadly combination of power, cunning, and cold-hearted charm, Lydon v'al Endrian fears nothing. Feels nothing. Chained to a brotherhood of men with the supernatural ability to invade dreams, he hunts dreamcasters to be harvested for their dreams and killed. His target: Kalila Montgomery. But Kalila awakens an undeniable dark desire and a longing for a freedom long-lost.
To gain everything he craves, Lydon must seduce Kalila before his plot is discovered… a hopeless challenge which, if failed, will earn him a death-sentence. Caught up in a dangerous world of secrets and obsession, doubt and betrayal, Kalila and Lydon face the nightmare of their lives, where love will either deliver them—or destroy them both.

My thoughts…
This book was surprising to me. I went into this book not
sure if I was going to enjoy it or not. I wasn’t sure if the dreamcaster topic
was going to keep me interested. I was wrong. Really really wrong. I liked
almost everything about this book. Lydon, Kalila, Mel, Monsters, it has
everything.
Kalila was a strong person no matter what she goes through.
She has had a horrible past with foster homes and she sees monsters in her
dreams. Monsters she can bring to life if she wants to. The only people she has
in her life are Mel, a foster sister and best friend, and a Man that is in her
dreams. She doesn’t know if he wants to kill her or seduce her. Either way she
knows he is trouble the minute she sees him outside of her dreams. She was
snarky, stubborn, and sarcastic through the whole book. I love those
characters. She was a total badass too. She wasn’t afraid to kick some ass no
matter how big the guy was.
Lydon isn’t necessarily human. He steals dreams and he can
change into anything that he finds in people’s dreams. He was sent to kill
Kalila. He takes one look at her and knows he can’t. Kalila is his and he doesn’t know how or if he
should save her. Lydon was hilarious. He knew how to push Kalila’s buttons and
loved to push every single one of them. He fights with his nature the whole
time and tries to win Kalila’s heart even though he already has it. He was an
asshole until he wasn’t. He was so sweet in the end, I fell in love with him
all over again.
Like I said I liked almost everything about this book. I
hated that Kalila tied to two people. I understand Daxon helps her but I hated
that she tied to anyone but Lydon. I absolutely hate love triangles so if this
goes into a series as long as it stays a tie and not love I’ll be fine. The
minute it turns to something more with those two I will lose my mind. I love
Lydon and Kalila’s chemistry and the way they interact.
Thank you for reading and the sweet review!! I'm a love-triangle hater too, so I PROMISE there's none of that in the sequel. :)
