Emme C. Taylor

Emme C. Taylor has created a world full of magic, violence, fear and love and it’s all wrapped up together in beautiful writing!

This book was fantastic! I love when I find books that are completely original! Taylor has created a wonderful world in He Dreams Of Magic. The novel begins with Ren heading out to a carnival as he tries to seek out the magical joy in his dreams. He does find excitement in the way of a Magical flyer who collides with him on the carnival grounds. What begins as physical attraction is soon a dangerous situation that Ren wasn’t prepared for. Nico… the flyer is full of magic. He’s a rare individual… and he’s walled off.. almost unreachable. For some reason though, Ren is drawn to the man and persuades him to spend some time with him.

Soon… Ren becomes all too aware that there is more to Nico than what he appears. Nico’s magic is very powerful… and it makes him a target for a nasty set of creatures. The Wolk are terrifying! Most creatures in books don’t really bother me, but Taylor’s writing left me ready to hide under my bed! I mean, I don’t even want to entertain the idea of creatures that can live by sucking the life, magic, and soul out of humans and draining them to death. It’s a horrifying thought! Kudos to the author for making me keep one eye open while last night while I was trying to fall asleep.

The relationship between Ren and Nico is really well written. While there is an “instant attraction” on Ren’s part…Nico is resistant and hiding behind walls he has created for his own protection. The two men have some remarkable discussions even while Nico remains determined to keep his thoughts and feelings to himself. I can’t really explain how the author did this so well…but Nico and Ren stay true to each of their characters. even when the perspective switched to Nico’s in the book… I still felt as though I was discovering things about Nico at the same time as Ren did.

This is a wonderful story. I feel as though this story is more than just a “fantasy” novel. It is a GREAT fantasy novel but it’s also about home… and family… belonging and what happens if any of those things are taken away from someone.

Thank you Emme C. Taylor! I look forward to anything else you may write!!… (más)
