dubsea 's review for:
Demon's Dream
by Elle Kayson
Did I enjoy this book? Yes!
Are there some things I didn’t like about it? Also, yes!
Here’s what I liked…
The story was entertaining, hella spicy, funny, fast paced, stressful and all of the things. I’d probably read it again eventually because I enjoyed the process of watching Demon turn into Damien. I really hope this isn’t the last we see of these characters. More please…
Okay, here’s what I didn’t like…
1. The story of Demon and Dream kept getting interrupted by the story of Smoke and Dayana and then suddenly their story fizzled out but I was equally invested.
2. How was Keith, a small time pimp so untouchable? How did people like Demon, Dante and Smoke have such a hard time finding him? Didn’t make sense.
3. Why was the threat of Keith a main plot line for majority of the book but got such a small amount of page time once shit finally hit the fan?
4. Going back to point number 1, Dayana’s dilemma got more time on the pages than Dream’s and she wasn’t the main character.
5. I was also disappointed with how the Darius conflict was as resolved. I wanted Smoke to handle that. Period!
6. To set a book in Houston and not be true to the vernacular or to know that Houston has BIG supporting character energy pissed me off. Don’t bother my girl if you’re not going to treat her right. Set the story somewhere else because it felt like it was located in Anywhere USA.
For the book to have been over 700 pages, I never found myself to be bored or uninterested. Solid 4.5⭐️.
