I never claim that my book reviews are prompt. I get about 15 books each month, and sometimes they just have to wait their turn. This little book certainly waited. In fact I very much doubt you will be able to buy it anywhere. But that is fine, don’t bother.

You can tell from the cover this is another of those supernatural romances that are everywhere nowadays. Kenyon has made a nice little living out of writing book after book, series after series, all sticking closely to a formula. That is not a problem to me. When you make a favourite recipe, you are sticking to a familiar formula. Some people call that comfort food. What is wrong with comfort reading? However, this is the first book I have read from this author, so I didn’t know the formula. And I’m not rushing out for more.

Set in the world of our unconscious, Dream Hunter Delphine’s purpose is to protect humanity from those who would invade their dreams. But dream hunters are being turned, and only a powerful god will be able to support her in her work. Her task – to find the ancient Greek God Cratus and convince him to help her save mankind. But centuries ago he turned his back on Olympus and all that responsibility and he is not the least bit interested in helping out now.

This book was hard going. It might have been easier if I had read other books in the series (this one is book 4), but I’m not so sure. The characters were too ‘all knowing’ and powerful to have any interesting weakness. The whole Greek God thing was just too simplistic. And sadly, the romance was also just too superficial and unreal.

I don’t say it often, but this book was a waste of time.
