I love Zappia's writing. Her world building is so fun and different. After reading Eliza & Her Monsters I was in a bit of a slump because I was sad to have finished the book, and didn't know what else to read. I discovered that she had written this (which is Eliza's favourite series) on wattpad, and just had to read it. The idea of going in and out of dreams is so different, and I loved the characters. The ending was so action packed, I couldn't even keep up, but it also felt a bit abrupt. I'm also a little bitter she ended it where she did, but Zappia has promised to write the next when she has time, so at least there's that! Basically, if you liked E&HM, and want more of Zappia's writing, go download wattpad and give this a read!

New cover, new content, new chapter header art. (Btw, if any Goodreads librarians can change the cover on here, I would greatly appreciate it.)

Thank you everyone for reading. I hope you enjoy the continuing story!

Wattpad will be the end of me, I swear.

Real rating: 3.8~3.9

I honestly can say, this was enjoyable. The greatest? As in, I cannot live without knowing what happens next--help, my heart is lost, and I cannot find it--my tears have not stopped yet flowing and my sense of life is rapidly decreasing? Nope. It has not, in fact, done all that. But come on, seldom books do, to be honest. I just wish my life would've been blessed more with swoony moments, just because the main character has had a boyfriend. Um...which boyfriend again? I am being legit truthful with y'all. You know in those books where the concentration is so much in the action (which is not bad, at ALL. However, the 'boyfriend' is still active in this story so yeah, I expected a bit more) that the 'promised' romance, kind of took a back seat and went...non-existent? I was surprised when he was mentioned as a love interest. Like, this guy? I have more chemistry with a toilet paper than the main girl does with him. And yes, I did indeed say toilet paper. We have an ongoing relationship. Sue me.

In the OTHER hand (the thing that saved this whole book, to be honest) the idea? Dreamhunters, Dreamseekers, *ahem* DREMKILLERS (y'all know who you are, you should be ASHAMED, I wanted an extra donut with the box, not an extra KIDNEY.) all of THAT, is such an amazing premise for the whole book. I would like to see it upped to

I had heard that this was mentioned in Eliza and Her Monsters by the main character so I read it beforehand so I could get any references that were made. I really enjoyed the story and the artwork. The characters were relatable and the world building was amazing and immursive. I hope that eventually Francesca can get enough interest in it so she can get a physical copy published. It would make a wonderful companion to EaHM for any readers shelves!

"It was a small consolation that the look of betrayal on his face matched what she felt inside."

Last night I read the last chapter f vol 2, and as I could guess I was crying, I mean I'm not that kind to get really emotional with everything I read but this series just messes with my emotions so deeply, and I can't even explain why it means this much to me. But the thing I can say is that it is sooo underrated and really more people need to read it!

All I can say is that I want more
Actually that's not all I can say, I can say that I've been crying while reading the last three chapters till now, and I can say that I'm trash for anything that Francesca Zappia writes
Just go read this book. The concept is amazing and the execution is beautiful

UPD : I haven't seen that there was a vol 2, and now I've read it till the part it's uploaded and I can say I'm even more in love with this. The world the characters, and everything about this book is so fantastic I just can't say how much I'm in love with this. Uuuhhhh
*insert dying whale noise here*
The idea and the world building of this book is so unique and well developed. And the characters Emery who is sassy and clever she is supposed to be good at everything but she is not, Wes who is kind and loyal, and Klaus, aka SANDMAN who is my new favorite character!
Any more thing that I add to this review would just be fangirling bulshits (as of it's already not) all I can say is read this book and show some love to it because it freaking deserves it!

I read this on Wattpad and adored it. I loved the characters. While the world building wasn’t perfect it was an intriguing world. I haven’t read something with this particular premise so it was unique to me. I can’t wait to read the next installment. Seriously I can’t wait. I want to hunt her down and make her tell me what happens.
