We got a great amount of character exploration for Roman as well as many other characters this installment. I really like that the author has allowed each aspect of the story to unfold with time and given each character a role in the development of the plot. We really got to know who Roman was as a person before going into a coma and meeting Bryn and man, he was a jerk. I really came to appreciate how he has changed for the better as he struggled with his recovery after the accident and waking up from a coma.

It was nice to see that Roman's life at home wasn't all sunshine and peaches before the accident and during recovery. His dad and him had a strained relationship before it happened and he was quite the asshole. Thankfully his recovery helped better the emotional gap between them a lot. Relationships are complicated and the way Roman and his dad portray just that is really something I appreciate.

Dani and Felix also get some time in this book. Their relationship is still on uncertain ground for various reasons. Dani and Felix are both nice people and do care very much for each other, but they still don't seem completely comfortable talking out their feelings. I'm really hoping they do in the next book.

The supernatural element of the story is definitely more prominent as each book goes on. We get actual information as to what Bryn and Roman are.



**MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD**



Bryn and Roman both learn that their strange experiences are not unique to them and actually run in their families. It really sucks that their situations have become way more complicated than they want them to be. Bryn's great aunt was haunted by shadows the way she is. Roman's mom may have even died due to her ties to her supernatural. By the end of the book, Bryn seems to have been lost to the dream world. I really do want to see how Roman deals with all of this weight on his own and how Dani and Felix help him out. Great book!
