bookbriefs 's review for:
Dream of Me
by Quinn Loftis
**You can see this full review and more at Book Briefs: http://bookbriefs.net**
Dream of Me is the first book in the young adult (potentially young new adult) paranormal romance series, called the Dream Maker Series. Lately, I have been really drawn to paranormal books that feature different or new creatures. Something that I haven't read a bunch of times before. And 2015 has been great for that. So far I have read my first Genie book and now I have a sandman book to add to my lists. The idea of the sandman is interesting and I have to say, I kind of love what Quinn Loftis did with him
The sandman doesn't visit every person every night. That is a myth. People are capable of generating their own dreams. But, instead in Quinn Loftis' dream world, the sandman visits people that he is told will have some sort of big impact and his job is to give them a hint or glimpse of their potential destiny. Things don't always world out as planned though, because people still have free will. He has no influence on their waking actions.
And then when you insert the romance aspect of the story, it gets really interesting. Dair has become more than infatuated with the kind hearted Serentiy and wants to make himself known to her. I liked Dair a lot. He is very old fashioned and a perfect gentleman. Serenity is a sweet heart too. I liked them together and she is right, their chemistry is off the charts. Together they seemed almost too polite and too proper. But it worked for them. But there is more to the story than just the romance. There is also a bit of a mystery with Serenity and another young girl Emma that shows up in dreams as well. I thought that was a cool addition to the story.
I liked Emma, but she seemed wayy too old for an eight year old. I know she is supposed to be some kind of genius, but she didn't seem like a child at all. She seemed like a worldly woman in her 40s. I wish she still has some remnant of the eight year old she was in her genius little brain. Putting that aside, Dream of Me is a solid start to an interesting series. Plus, look at that cover? I just love to stare at it. I know this sounds silly, but I hope the next book has another wow worthy cover. If you are looking for a new paranormal creature to learn about, try dreaming about the sandman.
