A war ensues between three demigod brothers. One, trained to rule Erebos, is violently replaced. One forced to return to his homeland and lead the dream-gods of the Oneiroi. And one is charged with the impossible task of protecting Lucessa. How is she linked to the Oneiroi? Why do two brothers seek to keep her hidden and protected? And how does another plan to use her against the two demigods who love her?
Will Lucessa’s dream man have the courage to claim her as his own or will he bow to the command of another, forsaking the one he loves?
Only in Her Dreams is a modern spin on a Greek legend--the new direction of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance, moving from angels, demons, vampires, and witches and toward the realm of demigods.
After years of therapy, Lucessa Sarcona, is
finally dealing with her loss and moving on with life. With one small exception
of a recurring dream about the same man for over two decades, her life is
almost normal. That is until the man of her dreams literally walks into her
life. Maxim’s appearance in her life makes Lucessa question her sanity at
first, but pretty soon she learns to take things in her stride. For instance,
her link to the world of Oneiroi, the identity of her father and the truth
about her husband! Really this story has twists waiting for you at every
corner.
Granted that she can frustrate you, but the character
of Lucessa is really strong and loveable. The things she has had to experience
in life aren’t all rosy, yet she is quick to ‘believe’ and take things into her
stride. While her behavior towards Greg and Maxim are conflicting, as a reader
it was pretty easy to feel her insecurities and quirks and actually understand
her. Maxim is strong and honorable and Greg is just plain creepy. While Lucessa’s
character was well developed, I felt that the demi-gods had more ‘humanity’ in
them than godly characteristics. I really felt that the ‘x-factor’ was missing
in the demi-gods.
As a plot, ‘Only in her Dreams’ is good with
the potential of being amazing. It’s a whole new world out there at Oneirei,
one that I find intriguing and would love to explore more of. The author’s
general language is easy going and the pace of the story is set after the first
few chapters. The elements of Love, Loss and Sacrifice have been blended well
into the plot. While I enjoying reading a book with more than POV, this book
zipped back and forth between different POVs a bit too much. But the number of
amazing twists simple makes up for it. The letdown was the climax which wasn’t
all what the story was building up to.
