A mysterious man has haunted Lucessa Sarcona’s dreams for
the last twenty-two years. One day when
quite literally the man of her dreams appears before her claiming she is not
only part of but in the middle of a war between gods Lucessa’s life is once
again turned upside down. Now with the
help of her mystery man she has to discover her past before her human realm is
run over by evil.
Right away this book was very reminiscent of Sherrilyn
Kenyon’s Dream Hunter series. I found
the premise intriguing but once again was disappointed with execution. The chapters are extremely short and choppy
with random bits of information thrown in places.
As far in as chapter eight I was still wondering why Lucessa
was special and why the Dark One wanted her in the first place. Random events happen and things are revealed
late in the game that just make all of the other mysterious events happily fall
into place.
Lucessa is a strong willed and caring character. I did like her and her attitude towards
everything, she took everything in stride and that part came off
believable. Maxim on the other hand is a
different story. He was watching Lucessa
in her dreams for twenty two years and on one hand he knew how to drive and some
slang terms like ‘the guy was six feet under’ yet in other instances it was
more than apparent he was not a part of the world and didn’t know what was
going on around him. Also, on one hand
he seemed to know everything about her and then in the next moment it switches
to Maxim not knowing her at all. The
bonding relationship between Lucessa and Maxim did not ring true and their
connection seemed fake.
There were also parts thrown in that were really
random. The Greek Gods just happen to
make an appearance for less than a page during chapter eleven. They seemed disconnected from the story but
in actuality they were what caused everything in the first place.
