I'm just going to dive right in here since this is a quickie review. When it came to Dreaming in Moonlight there were definitely aspects that I liked and didn't like. First let me start by telling you that I absolutely the premise of this story. I am a hopeless romantic and the idea of two people having to find each other, over a span of time makes my heart melt. I am a mush! What can I say? Soul mates are my cryptonite.The whole idea of Dreaming in Moonlight had me intrigued. I wanted to know about the demons that haunted Kate and her 200 hundred year old home. I wanted to know of the darkness that creeped into her dreams turning them to nightmares. I wanted to feel the goodness and light shine through. And I got that. Well some of it.I think Dreaming in Moonlight had the potential to be a wonderful story of good versus evil. It could have rated high on the creep factor, but instead it just fell flat for me. I didn't really care for the characters and didn't invest in whether or not they ever found each other. I didn't buy their connection or feelings for each other. And I wanted to. I really did. This is my kind of story! The hopeless romantic in me almost cried. On top of not liking the characters I didn't really feel like the darkness was that dark. It didn't creep me out nearly as much as I wanted it to. But it could have.Dreaming in Moonlight at times was very descriptive, but when it counted, when it really needed it they just weren't there. I don't know if it was because it was a novella, but the story felt too rushed for me. It left me feeling like I had whiplash. I wanted more. I needed more. Unfortunately it wasn't the kind or more that made me want to read the next one.*Received a free copy in exchange for an honest review
