review 1: A western, a fantasy, time and space travel and a dash of romance and you have Shadow Dreams. Barnett does a surprisingly brilliant job of interweaving her reader with her down to earth characters. Though at times I wasn't sure what I was reading, the writing was engaging, the flip between Earth and another plane was refreshing. It touches enough familiarity so as not to estrange its readers. And the love story is amusing as it is touching. For anyone who would like a blend of Indiana Jones, Dune and The Neverending Story.
review 2: She wants to find her daughter at any cost, even if she has to cross worlds to do it. A priestess enjoys her immortality and will pay any price to retain it. Bethany M'Doro is a Healer and Knower. A Knower is someone with the gift o... moref knowing about an object from touch. When she is on a dig, in her plane of Paran, the archeologist asks her about a silver box freshly dug. She is stunned to see that it contains a manuscript thought to be legend. She also sees a man and a woman, Elizabeth and Connor Jessup, people whom say they are from Earth in her vision. Bethany has never heard of anyone living who has travelled between the planes. When she goes home from the dig, Bethany is excited about seeing her young daughter Sarah. However, she is distraught when she finds out Sarah is missing, as well as several other children in the area. Bethany goes to a weaver, someone who can spin the tales of the old times, to learn more about the Eitel. When Bethany found a ribbon of Sarah's in the words, she saw that Sarah went to meet a priestess of Eitel. The weaver explains that the priestess would take the souls of the children so that she may gain immortality. The children would then go into a sleep and remain alive, as long as the priestess cared for the bodies. Bethany wants to find Connor Jessup in Earth and asks for the weaver's guidance to a portal. There, the portal guardian allows Bethany to only cross the plane in shadow form, and she visits Connor in his dreams. She convinces Connor to come through the portal to her own plane, and he helps her with her search for Sarah. They must figure out the secrets of the Eitel if they are to save Sarah and the other children. But, the box containing the manuscript of Eitel is cursed. Anyone who opens it will die. Will they succeed in their mission in time? And along the way on their journey, will Sarah and Connor find love? SHADOW DREAMS is a unique take on the paranormal. Ancient legends, different worlds, complex characters, and a splash of romance set the scene in this riveting and page-turning suspense. Fantasy and paranormal lovers alike will enjoy this fresh and engaging read. *Courtesy of Romance Junkies less
