Review: Dream Wars, books 1, 2 and 3

Review: Dream Wars, books 1, 2 and 3, by Leia Stone, 4 stars



It's been ten years since they came. Creatures that made us terrified to fall asleep at night.

I've been training for the dream wars since I was twelve years old and each time I close my eyes I become a merciless killer. It's earned me the rightful title of Commander and now I protect the rich in their sleep with my team of warriors.

But the one thing I didn't expect was that my irresistibly sexy new client, Damien Striker, might be able to put a stop to this war...

If I can keep him alive long enough.

✩✩✩✩


The ghouls have upped their game and retaliated in the worst way. Humans are waking up from the dream wars in random parts of the world, next to people they don't know, in countries they've never been to. When Kit and her team find out that the government is in bed with the ghouls, she makes a promise to expose them. But as more of Kit's gift emerges, she realizes that she just might be able to stop the Dream Wars forever.

They've come back, a situation the humans never conceived of. More ghouls have landed on Earth, and it throws society in chaos.

Bridges are burned, alliances are made, and Kit's power grows stronger than ever before. When Dawn reveals a secret she's been hiding, it gives Kit hope. Maybe they can end the dream war... if she can stay alive.

Review: I decided to review the three books together since they aren't really separate. Books one and two both end at cliffhangers (of the serious variety) and there's no way to even begin to understand books two or three without having read the previous ones. Just think of this series as one long book that comes to you in three separate instalments. 

I loved the plot, which is fairly original even for science fiction books. There has been an alien invasion, but aliens are fighting (and killing) humans in a different dimension where humans only enter when they sleep. There's non-stop action across three books, with a hint of romance here and there.


 


Book one (Rising) was clearly my favorite. I found book two (Domination) slight more confusing, and book three (Obliteration) involves an overload of psychic powers and mind readings that are sometimes a bit hard to follow. Also, there are a few plot details that don't exactly match from beginning to end. Overall I'm rating the series with four stars.


 


If you love science fiction books involving weird human-eating aliens and alternate realities, you should give this a try, but make sure you start with book one.


Happy readings!
