I stumbled onto the writing of Maya Lassiter via 'Toby Streams the Universe', a well developed urban fantasy with a paranormal core. I liked it so much I read the rest of her books as well, but it was not until this latest novel that Lassiter hit the 'wow' factor for me.Creature of Dreams is dark, and has the most disturbing of themes at its core - paedophilia - but Lassiter explores the aftermath of that horror with a delicate touch, weaving in fantasy elements to create a truly unforgetable story. Do not expect fluff. You won't get it. This is a mature novel told with courage and imagination. Simply brilliant.
