In the beginning, when the battle for heaven was won and the
rebellious angels were cast into hell, not every angel had a place. Those who
hadn't chosen a side were sentenced to exist between the two parallels…earth.
The angels who repented were called the Fallen, peaceful angles that existed
amongst mankind. Those who rejected their punishment became known as the First,
angels that survived by stealing souls. Over time, a First and Fallen unite and the Protectors were born.
Eighteen year old Mira Daly had one goal, get out of Redding,WY and never look back. That was until her best friend goes missing the day before graduation. Chloe’s disappearance brings back haunting memories of her father, and through the help of some unexpected new friends, the story of who he was and what she’s meant to be unfolds.
With a living, breathing, nightmare determined to destroy her, Mira knows the only way to survive is to accept her fate and meet this demon in battle.

My Thoughts…
This is the fourth of Erin Manbeck’s books that I have
read. Dreamless is a stand alone, where
the first three were The Gifted Trilogy.
I loved them all.
Dreamless starts slow.
There is a lot of background that the reader has to know for the rest of
the story to make sense. While I love
when a book pulls you in from the first page, I also enjoy knowing the entire
story. Make it through the first part
of this book and you will not be able to put it down.
I was truly invested
in Mira’s life. I wanted to know if she
comes to terms with her dad’s death. Did
Mira figure out what the guardian angel was telling her, solving all of the
riddles being thrown at her? Could she
be strong enough to prove herself a talented fighter? I also loved her relationship with her
mother. While it is not a huge part of
the story, I found myself comparing their relationship to that of my
family’s. They had a great sense of
humor and were able to talk about anything, which is what every mom wants to
have with their daughter.
The romance in this story was typical high schooler. Hot and steamy, whiling holding back and
taking caution not to move too fast too quickly. I enjoyed seeing the couples circle each
other and then finally admit their feelings, but still knowing there was too
much happening for them to move too fast.
I am not sure I could be as open and accepting as Mira’s mom, but I did
like that instead of criticizing she supported and gave sound advice.
Erin Manbeck is an author I will not hesitate to recommend
to anyone looking for a great paranormal story. I happily and totally recommend Dreamless.
