3 out of 5 FangsI received a copy of this story for an honest review for Paranormal Romance & Authors That Rock!Sasha’s life has been full of physical abuse and emotional neglect. The little glimpses of love she’s received have come from her best friend Connor and the dream boy/man Donovan who has visited her dreams since she was a child. Imagine her surprise when she learns that not only is Donovan real but he and Connor are brothers. Hailing from an other worldly realm called the Veil, the two are half Elven and half Immortal, Gods among mortals who have sworn to protect Sasha.As Sasha approaches her 20th birthday, forces from beyond the Veil are gathering to claim her. Elvens, Sorcerers and Sorceresses, Trolls, Pixies, Dragons and more are real… and Sasha is one of them. Half Elven and half Sorceress, Sasha’s birth parents thought they were protecting her by sending her away.What worked: Sasha comes across as a solid heroine and her relationship with Donovan has a nice spark. I would be interested to see what develops between the two in future stories.Issues: I have to confess I struggled with this read. The story moves very fast and at times I would have loved a little more transition and detail. I also wish there would have been a little more backstory on Sasha’s history with the brother’s and as well as the development of her powers. There is a two month jump in the story line that I felt was abrupt and really hurt the relationship between Sasha and Donovan.Favorite Quotes:“I am not in your dream, Sash. You are dream walking. It is like astral projection, except you actually leave when you dream—leave with your entire body, everything…”“That’s when he realizes I have never done this before. He looks almost sad. I bring his face down to mine and kiss him. I don’t want him to be sad for taking my virginity. I want him and only him, for the rest of my life.”
