Book Review: Garden of Dreams and Desires

Garden of Dreams and Desires

Garden of Dreams and Desires

by Kristen Painter
My rating: 3 out of 5 hearts


Synopsis:

Tourists are disappearing at an alarming rate. While Augustine and his lieutenants attempt to find them, Harlow and the evil spirit possessing her remain Augustine's true focus. Freeing her from the spirit's grasp is all he can think about, especially with no real solution on the horizon.

Then he discovers the tourists are disappearing because the witches are stealing souls to cast a dangerous chaos spell. Before he can stop them, Harlow becomes their victim. Now he must race the clock to set her free and end the witches' machinations before the chaos spell strips every fae in New Orleans of their power and bring fae rule to an end…

Review:

I received this book through the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Despite a few hiccups, I can honestly say that liked this book. Sadly, the issues I did encounter prevented me from giving it a 4 heart rating. That being said, I would still recommend it to fans of the paranormal genre. However, I'd caution them to read the first two books before as I found the character development in this installation a bit weak. It's always difficult to connect with characters who are at the end of their cycle. The same can be said for the plot; perhaps the many loose ends were resolved in the previous installation.

The storyline itself was very engaging, if a bit predictable and the editing decent (i.e. nothing glaring that detracted from the story). I'd love the opportunity to read the other books in this series to confirm/deny my assumptions about character and plot development.
