Sleep is for the weak.

Freeing my mate, finding my brother and Grayson’s chyld, and trying to topple an empire would all be easier if I could just get some sleep. Between masquerade balls, desperate escapes by planes, trains, and automobiles, and a Russian vampire who’s just a little too interested in me… I’ve become a real night owl.

When I can catch some shuteye, my dreams leave me aching for a past that isn't mine and a future that seems almost out of reach. The temptation to stay dreaming with Grayson, in a world beyond death, is becoming harder to resist.

This series is my Roman Empire.
This book picks up right where the last one left off THANK THE GODS. We find out what’s happened to some characters, one of which was in extreme peril at the end of book two, and we get a few more answers to some pressing questions. Sunday’s relationships develop further and the group gets some unexpected news while chasing down their wayward vampire. There is a fair amount of spice, plenty of intrigue, and enough emotional whiplash to make therapy feel like a breeze. This does end on a cliffhanger so thankfully we can dive right into the next book!

This is really a kick-@ss series !House of Marchese not only took my breath away/ that's because of how much I laughed, yelled, cursed 🤣/, but my vocabulary too.
Soooo - let's try one complete improvisation!
When Death comes knocking, you need a Sunday Prescott by your side to send her packing! If you need to topple an empire, you search for ally like Sunday Prescott! If your life is crumbling and you feel completely lost, you need a friend like Sunday Prescott! If you want to laugh out loud, curse stupid choices, str@ngle 2 thousand years old vampires to snap them out of their superiority complex, melt around the edges with sweet little "terrors" like Mishka and the twins, grab the first book in the series and enjoy! They are interconnected and a full bowl of awesomeness 👌. Why did I love it so much!?! Because main characters like Sunday are freaking hilarious 😂 and not only that. I am not of fan of "damsel in distress" type of heroine. I am looking for snark, spunk, energy and personality in a MC that isn't afraid to show the middle finger to those that try to intimidate, bully, blackmail or exert power over them. Sunday is a real wild card but she isn't only hot air under pressure - she is smart, adapting on the fly, not afraid to take risks and own the consequences, learning the ins and outs of the ruthless and cruel world of vampire politics incredibly fast to use them to her advantage. But she also isn't afraid to show her softer feminine side without losing her sharp edge in the process. That said I hope her mates will toughen up a little bit more to reach her level. They have valuable potential but the brutal, unforgiving blade in their polycule for now is Sunday and they are in her shadow. I can’t wait to see the continuation in the final book and hope we will finally get rid off of this clingy, spoiled, menace Roxana. Like seriously - 🙄 die already and leave them be!
Thank you, Sarah for this amazing reading experience!

I can enjoy when there's an overarching goal, problem, or plot point throughout a series but at this point I'm a bit frustrated with the pacing. Getting to certain points of the journey just seem to drag and drag and at times the transitions between certain chapters is very choppy/jumpy as we get throne from one scene to the next with no explanation on how we got from Point A to Point C. I also think it could have used a good read through as theres errors like one chararacter going from the name Richard to being addressed as Henry mid-scene with no explanation and I dont think henry is a nickname for Richard in any universe. Theres also a lot of skipped details, such as certain requests being refrenced but when i go back I can't find where they asked that. In addition there's times where I feel like the author forgets to tell us a detail, like all of a sudden we know a certain characters mother is dead but we dont know why, how, when, or really any other info when it felt pretty relevant to what was happening.

I feel a bit weird going against all the 5 star reviews because even though I can see why people like it so much, the issues that are present feel rather glaring to me.

Dreaming Death is the third book in The House Of Marchese Saga by Sarah Reynolds.

💜 sassy, funny FMC
💜 vampires, shifters, demons, oh my!
💜 forced proximity
💜 mysteries
💜 why choose
💜 🌶🌶🌶🌶 spice

This book like the last picks right up where the second book leaves off. Sunday is in a fight to not only be by Xavier’s side, rest and relax, snuggle with Ben and Tomas, and let’s not forget navigating this whole new world that she didn’t even know about a few weeks ago. Will everything work out? Will she connect with Grayson again? Is she still safe in the world of perpetual Christmas? What about her family back home? Are they still safe?

If I thought the last book was surprising and a rollercoaster, this one puts that to shame. Hold on to your hats folks as this one barrels on with so much, you won’t be able to put it down. It was so so good. The world building is chef’s kiss and we meet more characters only adding to the richness of the world and storyline. This book ends on another cliffhanger and I can’t wait until the next installment comes out to see what happens next.

Dreaming Death : The House of Marchese Saga, Book Three by Sarah Reynolds is a why choose paranormal romance novel. Sarah Reynolds has done an amazing job with this series and is proving my point of why i don’t like reading a series until it’s done. I am impatient when it is this good..
I adore the relationships that Sunday the female lead character has built with her guys. All of them are such an integral part of her life and team. Also watching Sunday grow into her own powerful self is exciting.
Honestly i am impatiently waiting for book 4. i know you can not rush an artist. Great job on a fantastic book!

After the cliffhanger at the end of the previous book I was really looking forward to reading this book and I really enjoyed it. I loved seeing the bonds grow between Sunday and her mates and seeing her grow into her powers was brilliant. I also loved the introduction of the new characters in this book, which led to some very amusing moments. The story kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next and the epic cliffhanger at the end had me shouting in frustration but that just means I’m really looking forward to the next book releasing to find out what happens next.

She has done it again!

I loved the first two books in this series and the third definitely did not disappoint! The ending was amazing and a bit of a cliffhanger, but I wouldn’t want it any other way! Sunday and her mates, the way they take care of each other, the way they come for each other when something bad happens and never give up on each other is the absolute best part of these books! Also, amazing backstory for the characters in this book! Can’t wait to read book 4!

I love Sunday and her growing family. This series has become one of my top favorite.

Each book is better than the previous one which it's an incredible task as the quality of the writing, storytelling, characters development and plot has been exceptional from book one.

I can't get enough of Sunday's journey and I love that she keeps adding new members to her already fantastic family (Val, Misha, hopefully Stefan...). I'm so looking forward to reading more, book 4 can't come soon enough.

Dreaming Death is the third in The House Of Marchese Saga by Sarah Reynolds. This picks up right where book one left off. There is so much political drama happening. I love how Sunday is going with the flow and figuring out this world on the fly. The people she is surrounding herself with are great. There is a big cliff hanger at the end. Really looking forward to book four!

This book did not disappoint. Sunday and her men brought the entertainment and adventure to a new level. X is back with the group, can he recover from his ordeal? We meet so many new characters in this book, all have their own little quirks. And of course we are off to save Gray. There are just a few obstacles to avoid and hoops to jump through first.

great book, great series

I just finished book 3 in the series and can’t wait until book 4. I’m not sure I can wait that long, oh the possibilities of what’s to come (forgive my grammar). It is very hard to believe that this is the authors first series and only her 3rd book written, WOW! If you couldn’t tell, I totally recommend this book, and this entire series.

I was not ready for the cliffhanger, but it was my own fault for jumping straight from the previous book to this one, without reading the synopsis or anything. I totally thought the last of the book must not have downloaded or something 😆
I started reading this book and didn't stop until I finished. Loved it and can't wait until the next one!!!

Can’t wait for the next book!

Book 3 my lovelies and I bow down to Sarah and how this story has developed. I love a book that doesnt throw everything in straight away but it develops as you read making you want more. Sarah is doing an amazing job on this series, and she keeps you encapsulated.

Sunday

More of her crazy antics. But at least she’s getting answers. I hate how this whole series has kept them apart. But I love the new addition.

After the events of courting death and that damn cliffhanger Sarah was not my friend but having read dreaming death safe to say we are besties again! Although I will revoke that statement if book 4 isn’t full of love and puppy piles!!

For a debut series these books read like something from a seasoned author who has multiple series under their belt! If you want a True Bl00d inspired series where Sookie doesn’t have to choose then look no further than this book!!

So do you like a great story about a strong FMC that can drive her MMC nuts in more ways than one 😉 which means since this is a why choose the heat is volcanically hot… did I say steaming? Mmmm Games of Thrones hold no candle when they all get together. 😉😅♨️♨️

Not only can she hold her own but the FMC will give as good as she get with her no hold barred, no filter, gutter mouth, no tolerance of BS and fearless antics to keep all her guys hopping or just about anyone who stands in her way.

Ask Rurik about her if you can. 😉 I could say more but why spoil your own psychotic and unhinged fun as the story develops and OMG that cliff hanger at the end. So just buckle up and enjoy the crazy ride.
