Her hit comic Sanguine Specter, based on the horrific murders in her dreams, hits it big. Finally able to feel something other than numbness, Shay's riding high on her success when it all comes crashing down with the bodies of the murder victims.

God I don't know where to start on my review of this box set. I know that this is early writings and you can tell by the the first book because it can be a little confusing. As you get into the other two books you find yourself with chills and goose bumps. Checking around the corner as you walk.
You are trying to figure out through the whole book what is going on. Who is the bad guy, how is everything happening. Everything is just leaving you on the edge of the seat wondering what is going on. You can see the changes in the characters as the story progresses and you can feel the love and the hurt that they feel just coming off the pages.
How would you feel if your dreams killed people???
The writing is solid and flows wonderfully. The characters are well established and the author does a great job and drawing you in and making you feel as if you know the characters. I don't always like Shay and think she's a bit selfish, but I've enjoyed watching her become stronger. I deducted a star because I often found the story was all over the place and I'm still not quite sure what is going on. ... Hopefully as it continues the story will come together with a clear plot and subplot. All in all still worth the read .
Yet I kept on reading, even when I wanted to stop.. I want to know what happened, yet I am not sure I will get the last book. I can't even say besides Eli's whining and drinking, Adian being an ass, Trish' s abusive behavior... They all just seemed to be character with assigned parts.check off, but not rounded out.. you know the people you love to hate.. I did like the story line..
The prequel book was really good!!! The whole concept of the book is good but that's where it ends for me, I hate the constant switching character points of view, main character was interesting at the start but by the end of book I was no longer a fan...who will she choose is done so many times in this book
This series is an intense ride Shay will have you totally addicted to what's going to happen next. Bella wrote a really addicting series that will leave you with a book hangover And a craving for more.
I just finished reading the Deadly Dreams {Books 0, 1 and 2}. I don't want to give away any spoilers so I'll just say that this series is a must read! I can't wait for payday so I can book 31
It would have been a better book if the main character didn't want to have sex with everyone she sees. It is an interesting concept with the dreaming becoming reality.
I loved this little back story on Shay after the incident with her twin sister. It also has Eli. It helped fill in some of the little details about what she went through during those events. Can't wait for the 2nd book!!!
INK: Fine Lines
I loved reading this book. I have actually read it twice now and could read it over and over again. I love the twists in it. It is totally different from the other paranormal books that I have read. I have no idea what will be happening in the next book and I love it. There is no guessing what will come next.
INK: Vanishing Point
I love this series so much. It's not like any others out there. Shay is still being hounded by the detective, but this time it's about what happened with Aiden at the end of book 1. No one knows where he is, if he's dead or alive, except for McNab. A lot more paranormal stuff goes on in this book (don't want to post exactly what because I hate posting spoilers, but with that said, IT'S FREAKING AWESOME). Another GREAT cliff hanger ending, that will definately leave you waiting (im)patiently for the next book to come out. Amazing story Bella. I was lucky to Beta read this book for her, in exchange for an honest review.
Don't blink, just keep turning the page! This is one of my absolute favorite series! It is dark and twisted and incredible! It is nothing like anything I have read before. You get a new perspective on all things paranormal and supernatural but with many twists. If you want something that will make you smile, laugh out loud, have you holding your mouth open asking what the heck (or other expletives), and makes you get your tissues out all in one book? This is the series for you. You will have a hard time putting this book down. A must read!
I couldn't stop reading once I started. I recommend this book to anyone who likes books that are different then then what's expected. Thanks to Christina S. For telling me about it
