Review: Would have been better as a longer work

Spoiler Alert:The story is unique and that is something I can really respect.  It was fast paced and happened mainly in the dreams of Everly, nightmares brought on by Cillian.  I liked it but didn't love it.  It read like the first half of a novellette I would love.  The ending was rather abrupt.  They get away from the Sandman, but now he is angry.  What are they going to do...not sleep anymore?  Their enemy will always be right there waiting for them to drift into dreamland.  He has an army of Shades to do his nightmare bidding.I enjoyed the rich setting and the race through nightmares kept me reading until the end.  The mythos was something unlike anything I've read before.  It was well thought out and made sense without us being weighed down with the technicality of it all.  The characters were good.  Perhaps the problem is that it had too much potential to be so short and end so suddenly.  I just can't get over the disappointment of the ending.  A longer battle with the Sandman, perhaps a few nights only, and another erotic scene and I would give this five stars.
