The Book Gourmet

In the world of dreams there are champions who protect the dreamers from the demons that prey on tem.

Stripped of his emotions, Arikos is one of such demons. He can only feel what other people feel in their dreams. He’s spent eternity sifting through dreams on the hunt for sensations until he finally found a dreamer whose dreams fill his empty existence.

Dr. Megeara Kafieri comes from a family of crack pots. Or so the scholarly circles claim. Her father and her uncle have died on their quest to find Atlantis and though she wanted no part in the downfall of her family name, a deathbed promise to her father binds her to fulfill his dream.

Her mission to clean her father’s name brought her to Greece, but the authorities and deities (luckily she doesn’t know about those) are doing their best to keep her from poking around submerged ruins.

Her luck turns when she pulls a drowning stranger from the sea. She’s never seen him before. Awake, that is. But she’s seen his face in her dreams. Her dream man has made a pact with Hades, though. Arik has bargained her soul for two weeks in the human realm as a mortal man.



Though the premise is promising, this was a complete downer. I think it was Sherrilyn Kenyon's worst book I’ve read (and I read them all).

I was determined to read it from cover to cover and never in my life did it take so long to finish a book. In the end I found myself skimming the pages. The story just didn’t pull me in, it was like reading a manual or a text book.

The characters were dull, the dialogue plain, the story seemed stretched out, and a little too generic for my taste.

With the few scenes that shed a little light on the “bigger picture” strewn here and there in the plot, this book was nowhere near the books at the beginning of the series. If this is an indicator of what this spin-off series is all about, I most certainly shall think twice before venturing into the realm of the Dream-Hunters.
