Lay Me Down - Erin Kellison (Reveler #2)

Published Date: May 12, 2014
Genre: Fantasy/Paranormal
Synopsis: Able to navigate sleep’s vast dreamwaters, wild child Maisie Lane makes easy money as a courier delivering packages from one dream to another. So what if her employers are on the shadier side of the law? Her sister thinks she’s living for the pleasure of the moment. Pleasure is involved—why shouldn’t it be?—but every step Maisie takes is part of a careful plan. That is, until she crosses into a dream so evil, she has no choice but to run.

Special Agent Steve Coll is tasked to recruit Maisie for Chimera, the organization that polices shared dreams. At first he’s taken with her funny and carefree spirit, then brought to his knees by her tough and passionate soul. Touching her is forbidden ecstasy, but Steve can’t resist breaking the rules with Maisie. A darkness is gathering, evil preparing to strike, and only Maisie stands between it and innocent lives. No matter what happens, Steve won’t let her stand alone—he’ll die before he leaves her side.

This here is the second installment in the Reveler series and well, I enjoyed it enough because of Maisie's snarky attitude towards everything and everyone. Kind of a big 'F*** YOU' to the world. But I think I really liked her because of the fact that she was talented, smart, funny, and snarky. You just kind of have to fall in love with her. 

Special Agent Steve Coll didn't expect to run head on with some wild child with pink hair and rebel attitude. She is completely talented. He never dreams. He made it into the dream world by entering through someone else. He thinks that he is the only one in the situation until he is assigned to protect Maisie. 

Maisie is one of the most trouble-making characters that I have gotten to know. I mean, is it for attention? Is it because she's just crazy? You just can't tell with her. But as the story went on, you just kind of had to fall in love with her. 

Steve and Maisie are one of my favorite book couples all around. I know you would love them as well.  I highly recommend the Reveler series by far and Erin Kellison keeps on winning some points to put her on my favorite author's list.

I rate this book a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Darkness Falls - Erin Kellison (Reveler #1)

Published Date: May 11, 2014
Genre: Fantasy/Romance
Synopsis: Agent Malcolm Rook hunts for people with the rarest of talents—the ability to master dreams. He finds the undeniably gifted Jordan Lane, but she’s wary of mysterious Rook and resists his pursuit as long as she can. When the dreamwaters they enter are too exhilarating to resist, their attraction explodes into passion. But delving too deep stirs a nightmare—one they must defeat together, or be forever lost to darkness. 

Fans of paranormal romance and bad boys, get ready for a dark, sexy plunge into fantasy and desire. The Reveler Series is set in a contemporary world in which people can indulge in Rêve, or shared dreaming—a pop culture phenomenon sweeping the world. Imagine being able to fall asleep at night, only to wake in a dream world, one in which you are lucid and in control—where you can be anything you want to be and do anything you like. But you must be careful…dreaming can be as dangerous as it is seductive.

I'll be honest. I was a bit skeptical reading this book because I mean it has the cliché guy with a six pack and other chiseled abs. The ideal girl's dream. Or guy. Whichever way you swing. But personally, this book was one of the best that I have read. It was funny but the plot developed way to fast. I understand that this is like Inception meets hot guys who invade your dreams.

Like hello? Invasion of privacy? Just kidding. I can barely remember my dreams so I thought this was a pretty awesome idea. I mean, entering dreams. Meeting people. Doing whatever you dream of doing. Only downfall? You can fall into the deep abyss and never return because your nightmares are even more real now than ever. 

Jordan, the protective sister. Never really thought about herself until it came down to Michael Rook or as known as Malcolm Rook now. You have to lie to gain people's trust. Kind of a weird way but the funny thing is, is that we all find ourselves in a situation where we have omit something from our lives. We all have a chapter that we don't want to tell. 

I loved this book other than the plot developing way to fast but Erin Kellison surprised me with her writing. It wasn't overly graphic but it did go into my darkest fantasies. Just kidding. Like I said, it was hot and had the option of hot guys. I mean Malcolm and his friends all seem to make their way onto my book boyfriends list. So thank you much for that. 

I am going to rate this book a 3 out of 5 stars and I do recommend this book to those that are into the hot and steamy romance as well as dark fantasies that just come to life.
