In My Dreams #2

In My Reality

Rate this book
It’s been three years since Michael’s death, and life isn’t any easier. The gift bestowed upon me has only grown stronger. I see the dead, everywhere. Those who have remained earthbound are looking for answers, or have messages for their loved ones. That’s what I do. I help resolve those questions, then assist them in crossing over.

Lately, I’ve had a recurring nightmare—a guy, badly injured in a car crash. Each time I’ve called out to him, he never answers. I’ve never even seen his face.

My mentor, Lucy Crow, believes he’s still alive, and I’m supposed to help him. That my dreams are not just subconscious thoughts; they’re premonitions.

For the first time ever, I will leave my reclusive life in Alaska. My best friend Emily is taking me to California for spring break. She thinks it’s time for me to find someone—to start living again. But what I need to find is the answer to my nightmares.

Little do I know...my answer will find me

I was born in San Francisco, raised in Maui, Hawaii, and now reside with my husband in Las Vegas. I am a dreamer and caffeine addict who loves to laugh and loves to read to escape reality.

One of my greatest satisfactions is creating fantasy worlds filled with adventure and romance. It is the love and incredible support of my family and fans that keeps me going. One day I hope to uncover my magic wardrobe and ride away on a unicorn. Until then . . . I'll keep writing!

Ok I loved this book. Up until the huge twist. Yes I get the ending. I do. But I was disappointed how it ended. Life is about loving and accepting but also learning to deal and live with heartache. And that's not what happened. She never got a chance to live on her own and find her own way.

WOW. Just WOW.
This woman can write a book! I mean she can make me laugh, and cry and feel all the feels in one sitting.
This is the sequel to In My Dreams. I did not think I could find a better executed book than any of her other books, boy was I wrong. Mrs. Cameo Renae poured all of her heart and soul into this sequel.
I will not spoil it for you except to tell you that you will need tissues and please do not throw your device as you will want to find out how it all ends! The massive ending is not how it seems!
Great job Cameo! Thank you again for another spellbinding ride!
I can not wait to see what you write next!

Absolutely loved the conclusion to this fabulous tearful story. It was everything I would expect from Cameo. I can't say much without giving anything away but you must read and see how Lizzy is handling life now (3yrs later). She is isolated in Alaska until her best friend brings her to visit in California, love Emily, she is funny and sneaky, lol! Its not going to be an easy vacation though as her gifts follow her and lead her on a little investigation of sorts and then her dreams are not helping. Will Lizzy find the happiness she deserves or is she doomed with tragedies?

Happy tears

Fate is such a fickle thing. Lizzy travels to California for spring break, and encounters a neighbor who looks similar to Michael. Add in some ghostly intrigue and some drama and you have Lizzy emerging from the cocoon she was living in Alaska. After being numb for three years, Lizzy questions the feelings she has for Mason in less than a week. When tragedy strikes will all be lost or will Lizzy get her happily ever after?

Oh my goodness!

What a wonderful beautiful sequel. This book will bring out a few tears here and there but is such an amazing story with suspense, laughs and endearing characters. Love, love, love the ending of Lizzy's story. Bravo Cameo <3

Love This Happily Ever After ♡♡♡♡

Oh my heart ♡♡♡♡ Yes, yes and yes!!! Could not have loved or dreamed of a better ending!! All my book wishes came true in this series ♡ I absolutely loved both gorgeous books. This is most definitely a forever love story that will live in my heart. Boy.... I sure cried barrels throughout this series, but they all were justifiable tears. People always talk about epic love stories, but this one absolutely wins that honor. I cannot imagine anyone not praising this series or Ms. Renae enough. Don't let these two beautifully enchanting and full of heart stories linger in your TBR pile! This hugely talented author takes your heart and gently gives it back to you with every story that she creates ♡ Her witty and emotionally charged dialogue and scenes keep you a willing captive and you find the hours passing by quickly as you sink deeper and deeper into her literature ♡

Holy hell this book was so amazing! I am a huge fan of Cameo Renae's. She has so much heart in her books that you can't help but be sucked in and love and befriend the characters. After reading In My Dreams, and thinking it would be the only one was hard, but Hidden Wings satisfied in ways I can't explain. And then she announced In My Reality, the excitement was too much.
This book was so full of everything you could want out of a book! Heartbreak, triumph, strength, spookyness, friendship, hot guys, trouble, and lots of laughter! The pace is perfect, never boring, and full to the brim of excitement. Plus the ending! Oh my hear the ending. I was so stunned and cried! A beautiful ending that Lizzy deserved so much and I am so happy to see her get.

I read In My Dreams and in my reality in two days! I couldn't put it down .
This book takes place three years after the death of Michael. Her friends Tyler and Emily take her down to their college in California for spring break.
Again, like her first book she has a great pace to the book and has added in some good new characters and situations that drive the story forward.
And, the ending!!!!!! Was beautiful. I loved this book series far more than I would have ever suspected.I need this to be a movie pronto, because it would be a great teen romance film.
What's interesting I think is this book series inspired her to write the Hidden Wings series which is cool, due to similar themes in it. Another great book!

I was so excited to read the second book. You just had to know how Lizzy moved on in her life! She had been dealt a difficult life and nothing seemed to get better for her. She was living life on auto pilot. Helping others because they would confront her. Her BFF and Tyler came to take her away from her everyday life and visit them in the sunny life while they were in College. Lizzy actually has some fun times, except for the guy who sneaks into her heart.

I loved this book. I read the first, In My Dreams, and it was all right. This book was so much better than the first. It was well written and virtually free of editing errors. I felt like Lizzy, as a character, had grown so much from the first book and I really liked her in this one. I was also surprised by the ending. I thought it was going one way, then WOW! This is definitely a book worth reading.

I was trying to avoid ugly cry and emotional books, but damn you, Cameo, you got me. You pulled me in and caught me. The start was a tiny bit slow, but it soon became suspenseful and i couldn't stop reading. I just had to know what happened next. Well done, Cameo. You did it again. P.S. make sure you have your tissues handy when you read this.

Best ending to a true love story!

I would recommend this book series to anyone. Heart warming and wrenching at times but keeps you going and wanting more. It shows you what real friends and love is like and possible to have. You just need to believe.
Thank you Cameo for your amazing and awesome writing.

Incredibly good. Lizzy's struggle to move forward after losing the love of her life is relatable: heartbreaking, funny, exciting, scary, and confusing. Cameo brings you in and makes you feel everything.

The trip to the zoo had me laughing so hard my stomach hurt. With this final book in the series you will become angry, you will laugh so hard you can't breathe and then you will cry so hard that you can't read as the tears blur your eyes.

In My Reality

This second book has just as much, if not more, excitement than the first. Things get emotional again so be ready for a tissue or two.

I am still in shock over this book! I was hooked from page one and still can't believe the ride Cameo Renae took me on while reading this story! I was happy, sad, angry, shocked and confused all in a matter of a few chapters. Just when I thought I had things figured out something would happen and shock me some more. If you loved the first book you definitely need to add this to your must read list. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have a book hangover for a long time from this!

Beautiful

The first book in this series was heart breaking and many asked for a happier ending and they got what they asked for. The journey was bumpy but the ending was beautiful. That's all I'll say don't want to give anything away.

Lizzy and Michael had a love that transcended time, space and everything in between. I can't say that I'd be fairing any better than she has been the previous three years. The fact that she was able to have some semblance of a life proves how strong Lizzy ultimately is.

In My Reality is Lizzy's attempt at regaining some semblance of a life. In order to appease her family and best friends, she leaves Alaska for Spring Break. Not knowing that she is heading into a journey that will be life altering and heart breaking in its own way.

A beautiful conclusion to Lizzy and Michael's story.
