[Review] Dreamwalker by Andrea Heltsley




Book Blurb:
Noel Kennedy lost her boyfriend, her job and her dignity all in one week. Then something happened and she began to dream of this stranger she had never met. She couldn’t resist the man of her dreams named Jared especially when she met him in real life. Entranced, she slowly unraveled a world she was meant to stay out of. Her life was not what she thought it was once a sexy Boone stepped into the mix and shook things up. Can she escape a life of servitude or immortality for a chance at love?

This book has pros and cons. I guess I will start with the cons. Some of you might know that I dislike love triangle because it is just too cliche. And guess what, this book has a love triangle. The triangle is between Noel, Jared, and Boone. To me sadly, Jared and Boone are just too perfect, making them a little unrealistic. Another cliche thing about the book is that Noel started out weak and became strong. Yes I do appreciate the transformation of the characters but it just feels a little too cliche. And lastly, the slow did have slow parts. For me, it was a little hard to start the book.

Now let's get to the pros. The cover is GORGEOUS!

There are steamy scenes with hints of actions. I think every book should have scenes like that. Another pro is something that can easily be tipped to the cons but I am glad that Andrea is able to keep this to a pro. And this pro is the fact that the book has something to do with Persephone. Normally I hate any stories that have to do with Persephone (because they are too cliche) but this one is special, and unique so I enjoyed it. There are a lot of unexpected things that happened in the book and it gave the story life and excitement. And lastly, I am a big fan of Greek myth and Andrea stay true to the myth and described the scenes very well. I felt like I was absorbed into the book at some parts. So with all this said and done, I give this book a...

About the author: Andrea Heltsley

I am a biology nerd who loves reading just about anything paranormal and some chick lit. I love my Italian greyhounds, my family, sunshine and summertime and most of all books! When I am not writing, I am reading. I have been writing on paper and in my head since grade school. It is pretty bad when you are at your job and daydreaming about writing a scene. I have fallen victim more than once, so I decided to make a go of it:) I am an entertainment girl! I love all things books, music, movies and television. Coffee is my best friend and I think I should own a Starbucks by now..lol
