I received a signed copy of this from
the author through a internet giveaway and the following is my honest opinion
for the book.
As
I read this book by Quinn Loftis, being a child of the 1950’s I couldn’t help
but hear Mr. Sandman by the Chordettes echoing in my mind. If you read the
lyrics for the beginning of the song you’ll see why.
Mr.
Sandman, bring me a dream
Make
him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give
him two lips like roses and clover
Then
tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman,
I'm so alone
Don't
have nobody to call my own
Please
turn on your magic beam
Mr.
Sandman, bring me a dream
In
his story the Sandman [Dair] while he does have tasks he must fulfill in
regards to his newest project, Serenity, he’s totally enthralled by her beauty,
both her outer and inner. However, given he’s immortal Dair doesn’t really have
any lonesome nights, but he does fill her nights with his captivating presence.
Dair is the type of man every woman dreams of having as their own, especially
with the sound of his voice and the way he interacts with Serenity.
I
found the storyline to quite sweet and full of innocence as she has never had
any sort of relationship with the opposite sex before and he has never
experienced the emotion of love before.
But the book is not all this, to complete the dichotomy there are
moments of sadness and evil which brings everything into balance.
I
believe this book should be classified more as a NA [New Adult] rather than a
YA [Young Adult] due to the nature of some of the things which transpire. The
writing is quite good in its completeness and the emotions which it skillfully
elicits from those who read this book. For the dreams this book creates for its
readers living the fantasy which is the story I’m giving it 5 STARS.
