This was my first read by Elle Kayson. I loved this book!!! I couldn't put it down!!!! The character's were complex and the author draws you in. This book was over 700 + pages and the emotion and anticipation of what is going to happen next keeps you wanting more. Throughout this book, I laughed, cried, was angry and able to keep up with all of the storylines from the characters. This book was well written and definitely worth the read.

Demon was an asshole through and through like wth and by the time he became redeemable the relationship wasn’t even worth rooting for cause the attitudes and being angry at each other became toooooo much. Dream was childish asf for her being the “fixer upper” of the family. The way she got angry at him towards the end because of something she through the did said all that shit to him?!? She didn’t take accountability for anything when she was wrong. Now Demon was an asshole but at least we see him grow and take accountability for what he did. Smoke and Dayana were the only two I liked following as a couple.

This book was a good time. Great dialogue. I wish the subplot and romantic plot would have been more developed though.

Thick books intimidate me! I l didn’t think I could tackle 750 pages, but when @the_litcircle_bookclub decided to buddy read, I had to try.
Demon’s Dream was surprisingly effortless despite its length. The author did a great job of pulling me into this notorious crime world, with bad boys who love good girls, keeping me captive with exciting new twists along the way!
There was a lot to unpack in this bloody book so I will share some of my favorite parts:
➤Kam, Lucien, Ms. Hazel, K. Reid…
➤Demon’s background and how he became to be so venomous and void inside
➤Unexpected twists with Keith and others I didn’t see coming
➤Great sex scenes but each couple had 6+ apiece, which is overkill.
May this kind of love never find me! My issues with the story was the extreme violence, the lackluster dialogue, no character development and redundancy. I strongly feel this book could've been 300 pages shorter, if not 2 separate books.
Dream/Demon, and Smoke/Dayana had different main plots, but the dialogue & many details were identical! MOF I noticed that the sisters had the same things happen to them with slight differences! TF!!
They had the same back and forth spats over the most basic things. D/D: “Get in the car”. “No”. “I said get in the car.” “You can’t tell me what to do.” S/D: “Come here. No. Bring your ass here. I said no.” At least 20 times EACH!! Ugh!!
I think the story could’ve honed in on Demon’s growth. He mostly came off as an obnoxiously unhinged, maniacal psychopath with unwarranted Killing rampages, from start to finish. But, I liked the softness he was able to show to the kids.
I would’ve loved for D&D to grow deeper with meaningful conversations esp when he started opening up about his childhood, but it was halted with sex. The shower scene literally gave me chills and I just couldn’t get past that level of evilness… Dream was so dick-warped, but I get it 😩
The ending was rushed for me and I wasn’t really feeling the epilogue from a child’s pov. If I take away the extreme violence in and outside of the relationships, I liked it and can see why it’s become an urban classic!
