In a world in which dreams are guarded and nightmares are unsanctioned, one woman's unraveling mind may hold the key to everything the empire fears.

Sweeping, perilous, and aching with forbidden passion, Where Dreams Fall is the first book of a dark romantasy series in which love is the most dangerous rebellion of all.

Review: Rewind It Back

Rewind It Back Rewind It Back by Liz Tomforde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been waiting since book one for Rio's story, and it did not disappoint!

I love love love Rio and Hallie. The tension had me in a chock hold and I could not put this book down! Rio has always been one of my favs, and this book just made me realize why even more.

I cannot spoil it, but, the gasp that came out of me when they talked after finally geting spicy?!... I wanted to cry right then and there. 10/10. I love them.

The ending to this series made me so sad. Just having to say good bye to all these characters I have grown to love is harder than any break up. I think it really hit me in the epilogue, and realizing this is the end of all their stories, not just Rio and Hallie. I sure am going to miss this Windy City.
