What a nice book. People in complicated situations will show their best or worst, and that makes happy and sad because of so much lost potential. Really happy I found this trilogy because I haven’t read books as good as this ones in a while.
Recommend to any lovers of some supense and adventure with dreams and conspiracy. As we say in portuguese “De boas intenções está o inferno cheio” (EN “With good intentions, hell is full”) so be careful about what you think is worth sacrificing for what you think is right. And if they need to say they are the good guys they rarely are.

Oh author, you’ve crushed me with that finale!
I think I need other books in this series, or at least a spin-off.

I finished the book but their was something missing in book 3 I didn't enjoy it the way I did with the first two books can't even explain why. That being said I was still glad I finished it.
Merged review:
This is no way a bad book but after book 2 I was expecting more still glad I finished the story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Agoraphobic and IT specialist Zoe Lydon has developed a curious condition. While she is terrified to leave her home, she’s suddenly able to traverse alternate dimensions while she dreams. She’s also developed the fantastic ability to enter the dreams of anyone she comes into physical contact with. Zoe is transported to the Dreamlands, a quaint town where Travellers, those who have this ability to traverse the dream dimension, congregate. It turns out that Zoe, however, is no ordinary Traveller, she’s the dreamweaver, the one person in existence who can change the course of dreams and affect the subconscious of the dreamer. Understandably her power is highly coveted. Throughout the series, Zoe is confronted by malicious foes, both human and paranormal, who seek to manipulate Zoe and her burgeoning power. The Dreamweaver Series chronicles Zoe’s transformation from timid twenty-something to dreamweaver phenom.
I am a big Helen Harper fan. Starting with Night Shade, I was hooked on this story. I love Harper’s imaginative storytelling and plucky heroines. The book contains Harper’s signature quirky humour intertwined with non-stop action. Zoe is a great character and I loved following her transformation. Harper also excels at generating romantic tension. The tension between Zoe and brooding Dante is palpable. Romance, though, always seems to take a backseat to the action and Harper makes it work. And while the tension between Zoe and Dante was delicious, the pay-off, in my opinion, was seriously lacking.
I have to admit that I didn’t love the series’ ender as much as the first two books. I was a little disappointed in the direction of some of the characters as the series wrapped up. However, this issue is minor and overall I loved the series from start to finish. I loved the Dreamlands construct and the creative storytelling. If you’re looking for an entertaining, original series, check out this winner from Helen Harper.

The beginning but not the ending
The first chapter of this last book in the series is money. The authors words are insightful without being forced. I should have highlighted the whole damn section.
The ending, however, wasn’t my favorite. I think I was cheering for Dante so much that it broke my heart to see his character not evolve into a better version. I like a good villain and I love a good reformed villain. I did not like that his character felt so flat. His motives were only power and control? I’m just not sure. I’m all for non-traditional endings and skipping happily ever afters, but this one missed the mark for me.
I also didn’t understand why they’d introduce the idea that dream traveling is genetic only to kill off her father in a one sentence explanation (that might have been book 2 though). And finally, the introduction of Ingold as a love interest didn’t seem authentic. It was almost like the author decided to make Dante a bad dude and just needed an HEA fill-in.
Of note, this is the second series of this author’s that I’ve read that includes a charming feline. Clearly she is team kitty. But I love both cat characters so I’m fine with it. I also really enjoyed the other supporting characters in this book, even if there were a few loose ends. Overall good read with an interesting plot!
I’m still going to keep pushing on with my Helen Harper binge, but I’ll forever think of all the things my precious Dante could have become. #freeDante

"Night Lights" is the last book in the "Dreamweaver" trilogy written by Helen Harper. Zoe, and several others are on the run from the Department in the waking world. They know who Zoe is in the real world and have already proven that they were will go to great lengths to get what they want. As a result Zoe must attempt to reach other time zones to enter their Dreamlands to learn more about the Department and how to bring it down. Can Zoe learn enough about her powers to bring down the Department once and for all, or will she have to submit to their demands in order to protect the people she knows in the real world?
Overall, this was a great end to a fantastic trilogy. Each of the characters have their moments of growth throughout the series. The plot line is fairly fast paced and entertaining. Harper continues to write engaging new worlds filled with interesting characters. I highly recommend reading her books.

I Stumbled onto Helen Harper a little while ago and love her works. (though i have only read her smaller collections at this stage). what i love about Helen's work is her female characters stumble around in the stories holding their cards close. they are strong and unique in their individual way. in the Dreamweaver collection, we find another strong woman who understands how to hold on to her integrity even though it will cost her heart. The world Helen builds in this collection is seperate to any of her other works which again introduces us a world of fantasy from a different perspective. Vulnerable yet strong characters are great but their back stories needed a little more work. Well done Helen, keep up the great works!

This is the last novel of the Dreamweaver series. It's not easy for Zoe to trust anyone and to find a way out of her mess.
Personally, I didn't enjoy the story as much as other stories by the author.
It was ok and I read it rather quickly but the plot wasn't agreeing with my personal taste of what I like in a story.
Also, I felt that the ending was rather rushed. I know authors need to tie all lose ends etc., but in this book it felt like the author just wanted to be done with it.
I think it is still worth 4 stars because I still found the story interesting and wanted to know how it would continue when I had to pause.

This final book in the Dreamweaver trilogy wraps up Zoe's adventures as the only person able to access and change people's dreams. It is packed with incident and danger, along with sparks of humour to prevent events from sliding into too much darkness. I also really REALLY appreciate how the romantic thread in this series is handled - such a refreshing change! Small wonder that Harper has become one of my favourite Fantasy authors, with her ability to produce nicely twisty plots, plenty of adventure crowded with a range of interesting characters who I end up caring about.

Well, that was phenomenal. I especially loved the atypical, but definitely satisfying, ending. (That's all I'll say about that, as I don't want to spoil anything.) With each book in this series, the story has just gone deeper and gotten better and better. This final book made the entire series worthwhile. I really appreciate the author's decisions in reference to her characters and the storyline. This was refreshingly different and I'm so glad I took the time to read it. I definitely recommend this series. The author gives her readers plenty of "food for thought."

Couldn't put it down
My sister recommended this series. Once I started I read all three in less than a week they were that good.
The writing is excellent and the story flows at a good pace. I loved the bits of humour and the characters themselves.
Well thought out plot I had no idea where it was going. The ending was perfect.
If you like a bit of fantasy and want something a bit different from the usual then this is a good choice.

This series was a joy to experience. All three books felt well rounded and complimented each other. As I read I kept guessing how it would end with Dante, the Department, and her family and friends. I was pleased with the outcome and the final paragraph brought the most joy to my heart. Esme and Lilth shined in this entire series and were my favorite characters to the very end. Oh, and Chairman, of course.

Fun book with a self fulfilling not exactly happy, but hopeful ending.
Interesting concept of being a dream walker or traveller, dream weaver seems a weird superpower to have. But the series develops to show you what is possible if you can get into someone's head. It also explores how the mind can be played.
It's a sci-fi paranormal thriller, really, with a pinch of steam but no smut. A light read with clever plays as the series develops.
4 stars

A satisfactory conclusion to this exciting trilogy. The romance was a bit baffling (or, I should say the promise of romance, since Zoe is still recovering from a rather shocking revelation in the last book), but the story ended well. Helen Harper does a wonderful job of tying up all loose ends in a story so that you end the series with a contented sigh.

Sit and enjoy
It seems like every time i want to reread a book its by Helen Harper. I originally read this series when it first came out. Ive been mulling over it for years,just couldnt stop thinking about it so I dug through my library and found it. It was still just as captivating as ever. Id forgoten alot of little details. I recommend a reread for everyone! DREAM

Continuing on a high note from where we left off, the final book is a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. It's rather simple, doesn't overcomplicate things to its own benefit and doesn't challenge the reader in any way either. But the way it's written is fun and entertaining and it's nice to read something simple once in a while.

The book needs some editing. It was engaging throughout most of the book. The end felt like a quick finish with some unanswered questions. The unanswered questions won't keep me up at night though so oh well. I'd read more of this author but I wouldn't dedicate a lot of money to it.

Quick read
I've listened too many of Helen Harper's books. This is the first of her series that I have read all of the books. I enjoyed it but found I like listening to her books more.

This series got better and better. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Liked the sense of humor and the local jargon. I was laughing quite a bit. The story was different and unusual and the characters were indeed made real life.

Really Great World
I had so much fun with the Dreamlands! It was such a fun read. I love everything Helen Harper writes, so that shouldn’t have been a surprise. Book 3 tied everything up, and it feels finished to me. Bravo!

If you want a female with a backbone of steel, brains made up of actual human thoughts and a-NOT FAT-cat, then this is the series for the reader who wants a real life fantasy ending.

Least favorite series so far...
Great imagination and concept for a story but it fell short for me compared to other series I've read by this author.

I do love Helen and this was creative but there was no romance, just a bad guy who has a nice ass.

Broke my heart that Dante turned out to be a bad guy! Sob… Maybe she and Marcus get together but everyone wants to use her. Glad Esme made it out of the coma.
