Maisie Lane is able to navigate sleeps vast dreamwaters and she makes easy money as a courier delivering packages from one dream to another.  She knows her employers are on the shadier side of the law but doesn’t worry about it. Her sister believes she is living just for the pleasure of the moment.  Maisie has a plan and every step she takes is part of it though there is some pleasure involved too.  Now she has crossed a dream that is so evil that her only choice is to run.

Steve Coll is a special agent that is in charge of recruiting Maisie for Chimera, an organization that polices shared dreams.  With her funny and carefree spirit he is at first taken with her and then he sees her tough and passionate soul and Steve is brought to his knees.  With Maisie Steve can’t resist breaking the rules because touching her is a forbidden ecstasy.  Darkness is gathering though getting prepared to strike and the only thing standing between it and the innocent is Maisie.  Steve won’t let her stand alone no matter what even if that means he will die before he leaves her side.

This one picks up shortly after the first book but can still be read as a standalone but will be enjoyed much more if readers read the first one first.  The characters are well written and intriguing and makes for a story that is hard to put down.  The world building is complex and makes for a read that is fun. It is full of action and the reader is never sure just what will happen next.  This is a paranormal book that is very different from other paranormal books and stands very well on its own. 

I give this one 4-1/2 red roses
