I swear, as I closed this book for the final time, I threw my arms open like Tim Robbins at the end of Shawshank Redemption (also a King novel). Gawd, this book was a beast. But despite it's intimidating size, I really enjoyed it. Now I'm going to crash for a while and have a book hangover.
I love this month. I get to read all the gory, scary monster books I can stand. Dinosaurs. Aliens. Ghosts. Demons. Oh my.
THE DREAMER has been awarded a Silver for Best Fantasy/Science Fiction from the eLit Book Awards & a Finalist medal for Best Cover Design from the Next Generation Indie Book Awards.It’s night. Always night. Dreams guard against the evil forged by nightmares. Infinite shooting stars illuminate a moonless sky. A city stands alone, surrounded by a darkened field. On its fringes, a man watches one star separate from the masses and fall. What survives the crash will unveil a secret centuries long hidden.Molly hasn’t slept well since the night of her twenty-fourth birthday. Being struck by lightning might have something to do with it, but then again, her chicken did look a little undercooked at dinner. Whatever the culprit, her life quickly catapults from mundane to insane as, night after night, Molly is transported through her once dreamless sleep to a mysterious land illuminated by shooting stars.There she meets the captivating but frustrating Dev, and together they discover Molly possesses a power coveted by his people—the ability to conjure almost anything she desires into existence. Seduced by the possibilities of this gift, Molly shifts her attention from waking life toward the man, the magic, and the world found in her dreams.But Molly must ask herself—does something truly exist if you only see it when you close your eyes?Faced with the threat of losing everything—her job, best friend, boyfriend, and most importantly, that little thing called her sanity—Molly will learn just how far she’ll go to uncover what is real and what is merely a figment of her imagination.GET THE KINDLE COPY FREE TODAY & TOMORROW ONLY!!
