I didn’t know what to except when I signed up to review Emerald City Dreamer, Book One in the Dreams by Streetlight series, courtesy of Bewitching Book Tours. With the cool cover of the woman carrying a sword and guitar, I obviously thought the book would be about a rocker/vampire hunter, but I was wrong. Here we get a gothic rocker Jina, who runs a support group with her friend Sandy. Is this a support group for alcoholics? Not even close. It’s a support group for anyone who has been traumatized by faeries. Yes, I said faeries. And let’s just say they get a wide varieties into the group, some that have experienced other supernatural events, and some are fakes or crazies. On a rare occasion they find someone that has either seen a faerie or has been victimized by one.
The support group is just a cover as Jina and Sandy are really looking for recruits for their secret order, which involves tracking down and killing the faeries!
There is no Tinker Bell in Emerald City Dreamer, as the author gives us a dark urban fantasy. When I first realized this was a faerie story, I rolled by eyes as the faerie plot has been done to death in other books and on television, like True Blood. I gave the book a chance and after a few chapters, I was hooked into this intriguing world that Luna Lindsey has created. The main character, Jina, is bisexual in this tale, and there are a few sex scenes, but none that made me bashful as I have read steamier. Some of the flashbacks scenes can be a bit confusing, but never blindsided me from finishing the book. Overall, Emerald City Dreamer should satisfy most paranormal fans, and it is an interesting start to the Dreams by Streetlight series.
