Never Too Old For Y.A. & N.A. Books discussion

We would like to welcome author Kirstin Pulioff for a Read 4 Review of her book Dreamscape: Saving Alex, a coming of age YA fantasy novel.

Updated Blurb:

Sixteen-year-old Alexis Stone is used to getting away from life’s frustration with the video game Dreamscape. As her family prepares to move, a sleepy night of gaming pulls her into the world like never before. Trapped in Dreamscape’s realm, Alex is about to learn that being a hero has consequences…and this time, the stakes are much deadlier. Will helping the rebellion cost her everything she knows and loves? Or will she betray them to save her own life?

The author will be providing 10 copies in epub and mobi formats To request, please post your email address and the format needed . It is your responsibility to check for the book and download it. It is also your responsibility to contact me immediately if you do not receive the book or have a problem. In exchange for the free book, the author requests an honest review of their book not just on Goodreads, but also on any of your blogs or reviewing sites. Once you are finished with your review and have posted it on Goodreads, you are REQUIRED to post your Goodreads link to it on this thread.

Even though this book is being gifted to you please do not share it with anyone. It is unethical, disrespectful and illegal to share books provided to you for reviews.

Further Info from the group, not the author: If you do not complete the e-book within the time given, and you do not post your link on this thread or I do not hear from you stating that you intend to finish and review the book, you will not be allowed to participate in future Read 4 Review events. This is to prevent people from getting complimentary books over and over without fulfilling their obligation.

Do not message me nor the author requesting the book. All info is to be posted here. This is for the ease of the author and the mods and fairness to all. If you do not wish to share your email publicly, please do not request.

If there are any other authors looking to do this with our group, please message me. You MUST be willing to provide copies, free of charge, to the reviewers.

It sounds interesting, but I already requested Hunters by Aoife Marie Sheridan. Maybe if you could extend the deadline, I could request it after I finish my current R4R.

Thank you all for your requests... copies have all been sent. Happy reading!!! :)

All copies have been requested. Thank you!

Ooops, I was going to sign up, but it looks like all the copies have been spoken for.

I hope you all are enjoying the book so far. After some feedback in regards to the blurb, I have adjusted it to more accurately set the scene and tone of the book:

Okay, it's a video game world, not just a fantasy world. That makes a lot more sense. :-)

Agree, much better as I was having a hard time getting my head around this world as fantasy.

Thanks for understanding guys. ;)
Bonus points for any Mario Brothers or Zelda references you can find.
