5.0

I was slightly nervous going into Angel Dreams. I had read Death Lies Between Us over a year ago and with so many books since then, I thought I’d have a hard time getting into the plot. This wasn’t the case at all. Actually, I feel like this book could be read as a standalone and a reader could easily get drawn into the paranormal plot.

Nathaniel was my favorite character from the last book, so I was glad to see him back and in fine form (well at least most of the time). Honestly, his relationship with Jules turns me into a big pile of mush and I had a cheesy grin on my face during the times they’re relationship was “on.” They had a lot of drama thrown at them in this book, but overall I was happy with how things concluded.

Jules is a good character. She’s funny and I liked how she was able to tap into her inner strength when faced with adversity. The plot of this book was a little darker than the first in the series, but I felt like there were enough lighter moments to not make the book too heavy of a read.

The secondary characters were well developed and I liked most of them. I wasn’t a huge fan of shaman Chris. Just the way he spoke to Jules made me want to slap up side the head. In the beginning, he says something like “Stop being so naïve, woman!” He wasn’t on my good side from then on.

I liked the pace a lot in this book. Book number one set up characterizations and provided background on the paranormal world Kessler has created. This paranormal world is expanded on in Angel Dreams in a very natural way.

Overall, I’d recommend the book for readers of YA and adult paranormal romance. The romance part is very innocent, but I still like reading books where the romance is angsty with lots of longing looks and innocent hand holding.

Rating: 5/5 Stars
