A Sinister Dream

Damned to a glass prison, Xia has never known a life of freedom. The Gods of Olympia covet her Siren song and when she's not dancing for them, she's feeding The Lord of Nightmares her soul. Solace is found only with the man she meets in her dreams, but he doesn’t even think she’s real. Pity, because Brooks is the only one who can save her.

Pandora's Box has been opened and an evil moves in the asylum that even the gods cannot contain.

If you love romantic fantasy with a touch of poison, characters coming into their own, and an MMC who would watch the world fall to save her, this tragic tale of longing and destruction is for you.

**This is a dark romantic fantasy intended for mature audiences. If you like the ruthless side of the Greek Gods, this series is for you. Please check the author's website for CWs.

soo excited for the next!

so this book pulled me out of a months long slump; where everything was meh only to put me right back in.. like how do I follow up after this?! so it is a dual narration: JF Harding & Stella Hunter they're both on my top five. it follows mostly Brooks & he THINKS he's a schizophrenic living in an asylum. I never spoil books but this screams God's & Monsters of Old and not in the toned down happy tales you hear now a days. It brings the original tales back to life with all the pain & anguish, the betrayals in the stories and hopes with dreams of a HEA.
I couldn't put it down & finished in a single day & absolutely LOVED it!! I usually like more spicy books but this will still be a new FAVORITE
Plot 5/5 Spice 1/5 Performances: Male 10/10 Female 9/10 Overall Book Score 10/10
can't wait for the next!

a little chaotic, but completely original

3.75/ 5 stars!

The biggest compliant I have is this book is a bit chaotic and hard to follow along with... THAT BEING SAID the concept is sooo sooo unique and refreshing. I am actually excited about the second book because I'm just so darn intrigued. I really hope it lives up to the plot that book one set the foundations for. I love all the tropes as well, so overall solid read, but just a tad confusion how its written.

AMAZING!!!

Hands down one of the best books I’ve listened to. I’ve been in a book slump for weeks and finally decided to give this a go. It’s like nothing I’ve read or listened to before.

A spooky season banger

I honestly have no words and so many words at the same time. I love the spooky asylum, the romance, and the friendship. It was pain and trauma but also a sense of adventure. I really enjoyed the audiobook and felt like I was ghost in the halls. Im really excited to read book 2.

the fantasy world

I love this book and finished it in one day. the story is so good. it has action, love,drama... I can't wait for the next book

Confusing

Hmm I’m not sure I’m the correct person for this type of book, but not in the way that you may think. It sounded so interesting and I like spicy in my books so it was up my alley.

But I have very bad ADHD and I just couldn’t pay attention and was constantly confused. I do listen to my books via audible and I think the way the narrators were setup had something to do with it.

There are 2 narrators one guy and one girl. But the book was mostly read by the guy, even during the girls chapters. It also switched POV in the same chapter and these type of books really hurt my head. This is fine when you’re reading the physical book, but when one person narrates both internal voices then out of nowhere a new narrator jumps in, it’s confusing.

Not sure why the author set it up that way. If the guy narrated the guy parts and the girl narrated the girl parts no matter the POV or chapter, it might’ve helped a bit. 😢

I’m really sad too because it sounded so interesting. But once I’m out of the story, there’s no way to get back into it. It’s all background noise for me, and since I paid for this book with my own money opposed to something given to me for free like a lot of reviewers, that’s an expensive habit when I could just use my fan for free 🙃
