I was lucky enough to be chosen as an ARC reader for “Dream by the Shadows” by Logan Karlie!I thoroughly enjoyed this read! I finished it in about two days.. I definitely could've finished it in a day if I didn't start it so late in the day. What made it easy to finish it quite quickly was Logans writing style, the lovability of the characters, the world building and of course, the storyline itself. I was pleasantly surprised with the storyline, it has some elements of the trends authors tend to follow in the formula of their books but Logan added plenty of her own originality. Also it was just unintentionally funny, you could hear me cackling at 3am.I only had one issue, and that is, with my ADHD ass, when I was reading it, for me it felt a bit slow in certain parts but once I finished it I understood why and appreciated it. It may seem slow in the moment but it makes sense afterward.Can we please get a round of applause for this book cover! It is so beautiful, I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but when it's so pretty AND it's written well, oh my goodness it satisfies something in me.It wasn't as spicy as some of the books I've read but there's definitely some flirting and tension. This is a fades to black kinda romance which is understandable because it is YA and it kinda works perfectly. I would also love to give one more shout out to Logan and applaud her for the fact that even though it is YA, I didn't have to get into a headspace of a younger version of me to be able to enjoy it as I have in the past with other YA books, I was able to enjoy it as my adult self. She perfectly caters for everyone. Super excited for the next book!This is a must read!A special thanks to Logan for the opportunity and can't wait to see what else is in store for her!4.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
