A review by drakoulis
Reverie by Ryan La Sala
5.0
A fabulously gay fantasy book, an instant favorite !
Kane is dragged out of a river unconscious and when he wakes up, he has lost his memories. Mysterious people pop up in his life claiming they knew him before, that they were his friends and a dubious drag queen claims to be helping him clear his name.
Kane is confused and the more he founds out about who he used to be, the more confusing reality becomes.
Because reality can have multiple layers, dreams can be real, he finds out he has some very unusual powers, and is less and less sure who are his friends and who are his enemies.
Is the trio calling themselves The Others really who they say they are or did they somehow wipe his memory?
Is the drag queen Posey a benevolent benefactor or is she playing him?
And who is the insanely handsome mysterious boy who appears the moment Kane needs him the most and disappears just as fast?
My highlights :
2) Helena's and Maxine's story is sad and sweet and realistic and I was happy they got their happy ever after !
3) Posey is a scary and powerful villain, radiating power their own way, and La Sala successfully shows the reader that power can have many forms.
4) DEAN !!! Usually the love interest is either hot and powerful or a cinamon roll. Well, Dean is both ! He needs a hug as much as he needs to be protected, but he's also a badass and a knight in a shining armour ! He and Kane have such chemistry, and they practically re-lived their love and got the finale they deserved this time !
Edit : The new paperback cover is AMAZING !
