intriguing passionate plot, enjoyable characters, and the delightful sense of humor,
By
This review is from: Into the Dreaming (Paperback)
I rarely read anthologies or short stories, but since it was Karen Marie Moning I simply had to read this book--short or not--and I must say I was definitely NOT disappointed! Ms. Moning again writes a phenomenal story with a hero redeemed by love and two soulmates who find each other--which is my ultimate favorite type of storyline. This book may be short, but it is chalk full of passion, romance, adventure & fantasy. The story is about a tortured soul saved by a time traveling romance writer who must break an evil spell, and has a clever and witty storyline, time travel, well written characters and a lovely bonus is that it takes place in Scotland. Intersperced in the book I also appreciated the humor and chuckled often at Ms. Moning poking a wee bit of fun at her profession and love the play on Jane's last name, and also what a hysterical name for the kitten! I do not feel bad saying that yes, I wish this had been a full length novel what with the intriguing passionate plot, enjoyable characters, and the delightful sense of humor throughout this tale, but please do not let that stop you from reading a fabulous book! Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it.

Buyer Beware!! Short Story and not a novel.,
By TooManyHobbies "too_many_hobbies" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Into the Dreaming (Paperback)
At first I was confused when I opened my Amazon box and found this TINY little book in the stack. Was it a freebee? A teaser of Ms. Moning's next book? But then I looked at the invoice and realized that I had paid $4.98 for this, this bookmark. I felt cheated. I thought I was buying a novel and instead I got a 100 page SHORT STORY!After I got over the shock, I sat down to read it (it took about 30 minutes). The writing was great, the characters endearing and the story line intriguing; but all those pluses just pissed me off more. What a waste. What a way to squander a good story line. By adding a few secondary characters, a few twist and turns of the plot, this premise could have been molding into a truly memorable novel. But now I'll only remember Ms Moning's "Into the Dreaming" as a disappointment. 112 of 121 people found the following review helpful

The bad news: his magical and dreamed highlander does not remember his own name, neither remembers her, let alone the love they once shared in her dreams. To make things worse she finds out that Aedean has been turned into an ageless creature called Vengeance by a dark and evil king. Jane Sillee finds herself in an adventure where she only has only one month to help Aedean remember who he really is, remember her and re-ignite the pasion and the love they both once felt in their own magical place that she created on her dreams. If you like Karen Marie Moning books you will absolutely love this one. 19 of 20 people found the following review helpful
