 Dream of Shadows October 23, 2007

First, I feel I should clear up a mistake. I noticed that this novel is tagged as an interracial romance. It's not. Both the hero and heroine are African American.
Plot: Nicole comes from a rich family full of psychics more powerful than herself. She's always felt like the outsider in her family. When she starts having dreams about a serial killer she goes to the police where she meets Detective Carter Jackson (Jax). Both are instantly attracted to one another, but Jax doesn't believe in psychics. He's more willing to believe that Nicole is somehow involved in the killings.
Despite their attraction, I did have to wonder why Nicole and Jax slept together that first time. They didn't know each other well. They certainly didn't trust each other. Their attraction for each other didn't seem overwhelming. I grew to like both characters though I did find his attitude to be somewhat annoying at first. He made up for it later by being Nicole's biggest defender.
It's a good novel if a trifle dull. The whole psychic family, First Daughter, Good vs. Evil thing got to be a bit much for me. I would have wished for a greater focus on Nicole and Brice's relationship. It's a good introduction to the family though if this is the beginning of a series.

This is the third novel I've read by Ms. Seressia Glass. "Dream of Shadows" is totally different from the other romances I've read by her. It has an enjoyably dark and thrilling edge to it. This novel is about the power and heritage Nicole Legere has denied most of her life, but must come to accept quickly, if she wants to save lives from an evil being who longs to take possession of this power by any means necessary. It's also about Detective Carter Jackson trying to choose between his feelings for a woman with psychic abilities, something he's NEVER believed in and about him being able to do his job as a cop, and bring a criminal to justice, without losing Nicki, his only witness or himself in the process of all this supernatural mumbo-jumbo. And even though he doesn't believe in this metaphysical world, he still wants to protect Nicki and feels that part of his duty is keeping her out of harms way at any cost. It's about a family that continues to make many sacrifices to keep the Balance between "Light and Dark" or "Good and Evil" in this world, in order to keep humanity safe from the unexplainable "things that go bump in the night". This was a dark, yet still a very sensual romance with a rollercoaster ride of suspense-filled moments that kept me turning the pages, just dying to know what would happen next.~~~~~~~The passion between Jax and Nicki was so intense it had that magical or supernatural vibe that neither could deny or escape. All the characters were so unforgettable, and I hope this isn't the last I'll hear of them. I found the storyline to be "UNBELIEVABLY" intriguing, because like Jax, I am a Non-Believer of the metaphysical world, however, I was still caught up in every moment of this story! Good Job, Ms. Glass, looking forward to reading more about the "Legere Legacy" and this families journey!
