Synopsis from Goodreads:
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 Review:
The premise behind this story was very well developed. Burright works some of the most intriguing ideas into her concepts of the various entities in the story until they become very real for the reader. I couldn’t have come up with this in my wildest imagination. Burright’s creativity is astounding, insightful, and extremely entertaining.
The main characters in this novel were approachable and easy to identify with. They are well-developed individuals that I really felt I knew personally by the end of the tale. You can’t help but giggle at the situation these paradoxical characters find themselves in. Regardless of the dire straits they may be in, you can’t help but see the irony to it as well. The supporting cast is quite varied, bringing you to every dark corner of your nightmares. They also help to lighten the story with their antics and notions.
The creatures that Burright brings to life in this tale are vividly frightening yet the story itself is a fun, e citing, faced paced read. I’d highly recommend it to those looking for a well-developed journey that travels well outside the realm of our waking hours.
