Soul Dreams is a great mixture of horror, mystery, and suspense. Every chapter has you rooting for the protagonist and then making you feel sorry for the antagonist. There were times I almost wanted him to win because I understood his struggle so well. Wofford Lee Jones has crafted a fun, exciting, and horrific tale about what happens when someone is pushed a little too far. It's a great story of revenge and a great warning against it. Jones has a strong sense of human emotion and captures the split personalities and emotions of Edward and Tyler in great detail. I'll refrain from spoilers in my review, but I'll say this. There's one particular moment that Edward and Tyler share together that really stuck with me and it creeped me out to think about! This was a fun read and I can't wait to dive into some more of Jones' universe.

This book has SO much going for it. It has coming-of-age elements, a supernatural element, vengeful murders, friendship, loss, love, DOGS, and so much more. I was hesitant at first when I received this book because I have been reading a lot of ~250 page books for some time now and this book is MASSIVE. It's not Game of Thrones length or IT/The Stand length, but it is definitely a big book not only in number of pages but size of pages, too. But I am so glad that it was a bigger book because I was that much more pulled into the story and lives of the characters.
Jones writes a story that you just want to keep reading. It was hard for me to find a good stopping point, even between chapters, because I just wanted to keep going. He really does a great job at painting a picture that you can see, touch, smell, and hear. You will really like some characters and there are some you will despise and shake your head at while you just wait for them to get what's coming.
I really enjoyed the concept of the book. A bullied and trouble young man in the past makes a wish and it comes true. His soul gets transported to an amulet and years later a boy finds the amulet. They end up "sharing" a body and all the people from the bullied teen's past are now adults and still living in the same town. And he is not happy. I don't want to say TOO much more because there are definitely some good twists and turns that I did not see coming that I do not want to spoil!
5 stars for me! Thank you to the author for this copy in exchange for an honest review!
