I was lucky enough to receive an advanced reader copy of this and definitely need it as a shelf trophy, was a fantastic read. I genuinely didn’t know if this book would be for me as my personal preference isn’t a book written in third person but it was so well written and so easy to read and enjoy. This book had it all,took me through all the emotions and i enjoyed it thoroughly. Anyone wanting a book they can binge in a Few sittings i would highly recommend.

I received this as an ARC from the author.
I loved this story and cannot wait until the next book in the series is released! I love a modern fantasy setting. JM Stockford builds a story that keeps the reader engaged with strong world-building and a steady pace, with romance and magic woven in. The dreamwalking element could have overshadowed the human element in the story; it becomes the lens through which trauma, vulnerability, and trust are explored.
What stood out most for me was how naturally the tension escalates with emotions and external danger. The relationship development never feels rushed, and the darker undertones give the story a weight that elevates it beyond a conventional suspense romance. Stockford creates scenes that feel vivid and real without becoming overworked.
For readers who enjoy romantic suspense with a fantasy element, this delivers atmosphere, intrigue and a genuine emotional element. It is immersive, distinctive and leaves the reader wanting more.
