triciab04 's review for:

The Dreamcatcher by E.J. Mellow
5.0

ALL. THE. STARS. *Seriously, just take them all*

I was beyond excited when I first heard about getting a novella from Dev's point of view, and I can honestly say that The Dreamcatcher not only met my ridiculously high expectations, it exceeded them.

Devlin is one of my favorite characters! He's unbelievably charming in the other Dreamland books, and this book being told from his POV was that same charm x10. There is a certain level of intimacy in knowing someone's thoughts, sometimes it is the things we do not say that are more meaningful. It was glorious to get these from Dev! There was more sincerity and emotion going on behind the beguiling smile and quick witted comments. I was glad to get this new level of complexity to a character that I already adored.


I also enjoyed seeing the other beloved characters through Dev's eyes. I love how much love he has for his friends and for his job. It's endearing how much he treasures the people around him, and how seriously he takes his duty of keeping everyone safe. I think that especially was highlighted in this novella. It definitely gave me a better understanding of why he was as secretive as he was in the beginning with Molly.


I'm sorry to say this, but Mellow...you've created a monster with this. Now I want more Dev POV scenes! I cherished this book, but like any respectable glutton, I WANT SO MUCH MORE! I can't recommend this book, and this entire SERIES enough! It's made it's way into my all time faves! Definitely a MUST READ!

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
