Praise
Loved, loved, loved this book!
My headline says it all... I loved this book! "In Your Dreams", the first book in the League of Moon series by Robert Sanborn was such a delight. Great imagination, great plot, and great writing. Witchcraft, demons, reincarnation, faith, loyalty, and love (and so much more) were skillfully woven together to make this book a true page-turner for nearly all ages. The writing was sophisticated enough that a grandma (me) could enjoy it without feeling too juvenile and yet not so sophisticated that a young teen couldn't enjoy it. Being able to appeal to so many age groups takes a great deal of talent. I adored the relationship between Henry and Jo (and of course Wanda and Archie) and loved to despise Solomon and the other cast of bad guys. In each case (even with the more minor of characters), personalities were well-developed and the worldbuilding was superb. I am a new follower of Robert Sanborn and am already grabbing the next book in the series. Five stars for certain and a very hearty recommendation for anyone who enjoys this genre!
Amazing! Suspenseful! A book you can’t put down until the very end!!
Not my regular Genre, but a ton of fun.
I picked this up on a lark. Good cover, interesting premise, and I’m a sucker for stories about dreams. “In Your Dreams,” was way more than I bargained for. The characters come to life with a history that… Well, no spoilers, but let’s just say there’s a lot of depth there.
This book is the first installment of Robert Sanborn's "League of the Moon" series, is a captivating dive into the world of urban fantasy with a distinctly Salem flavor. Right from the start, Sanborn crafts an engaging narrative around Henry Trank (yes, yes, Hank Trank), a nurse whose life takes a dramatic turn into the realm of the supernatural through his vivid, terrifying dreams.
Henry is an incredibly relatable protagonist; his journey from skepticism to acceptance of the magical forces around him is handled with nuance and depth. The introduction of witchcraft and magic is smooth, blending well with the modern-day setting.
Sanborn's ability to weave together elements of suspense, romance, and the supernatural results in a story that's hard to put down. The pacing is spot-on, with enough twists to keep you guessing but never feeling overwhelmed by the plot.
"In Your Dreams" stands out for its character development, atmospheric setting, and the clever integration of historical elements into a modern fantasy context. It's a must-read for fans of urban fantasy who enjoy a good blend of mystery, magic, and the macabre. I'm already looking forward to seeing where Sanborn takes this intriguing world in the next books of the series."
