Review: Day Dreamer by Aaron L. Speer

Alex Hensley thought that discovering vampires existing in Sydney was as dangerous as her life could possibly get, but she was wrong. Her very survival still depends on her ability to keep the secret. Just when Alex believes she has a grip on her new life, Nicholas, the teenage son of her estranged cousin shows up unannounced and gives her a chilling note from his mother, begging for help; the boy is in grave danger. 

Nicholas, though kind and mild mannered is not forthcoming and Alex senses something is dreadfully wrong. The more Alex delves, the closer she is to igniting a war more personal for her than she ever dreamed. Though she cannot turn the boy away, something perhaps even worse than vampires has been unleashed in Sydney. The vampire nation scrambles as tensions rise. Their hold over the city has never been challenged like this, and they would rather destroy Sydney than relinquish it. 

How can Alex hope to protect Nick, when the entire city is under threat and Alex can warn no one? 

Ideals will be shaken. Friendships will be tested. Allegiances will be questioned. 

The streets of Sydney will shatter as a bloodthirsty battle, once thought to exist only in myth, rises at the full moon.

MY REVIEW

Day Dreamer by Aaron L. Speer is the second novel in the Undeadly Secrets series.

I really liked how all the characters changed from the first book to this next one. They grew and evolved through the writing and plot. Nick is my favorite character in this book. He was different than your average hero. He had so many different traits which made him a great character. I also liked how his relationship with Nicole progressed. For Alex and Damon I would have liked to see a different path.

What I thought could have been different was the amount of characters involved. I feel like I was being introduced to so many characters without giving each more time. With so many characters the POV seemed a little jumpy for my taste. I would have liked the story to have centered on a few main characters instead.

Overall it was an interesting take on the Vampire vs. Werewolf plot. 

I give Day Dreamer 3 out of 5 stars.

About Author

I've been writing since I was around 11, and have rarely been seen without staring off into the distance or with a pen in my hand ever since.

Whatever my genre I happen to be writing at the time, I am passionate about bringing this beautiful country I live in, Australia, to light. (Hint hint...even if that includes epic fantasy and vampires)
