REVIEW
“The
Life We Dream” proves that this magnificent thriller/horror author can write
anything he puts his mind to. I’ve read “The Spirit Box”, “NorthWest”, “Forced
Intelligence” and the first two books in the Horror Challenge series by JH
Glaze, which are books all written for the horror genre (which is my favorite
genre, so by the way), and thus I was a little apprehensive about reading a
paranormal romance by my favorite horror author. I mean, wouldn’t you also be a
little skeptical if Stephen King wrote a Danielle Steele-like book? Well, turns
out I had nothing to fear. This is nowhere near Danielle Steele or the likes,
but at the same time it’s a far cry from JH Glaze’s usual horror/thriller themes.
Of course, the only thing different about this novella really is that it’s a
paranormal romance and not horror, but the writing is the same precisely
crafted high quality writing as that which readers of his previous books are
already accustomed to. Surprisingly – because I’m not a fan of romance books at
all – I enjoyed this inimitable quick read much more than I thought I would. I
also love the cover and title as it fits the story perfectly. Once again I was
left in awe of how efficiently the characters were brought to life and the
vivid descriptions of each setting that made me feel as though I was part of
Jack and Sarah’s lives. The anecdotes they shared with one another were both whimsical
and humorous, and I had to reach for the Kleenex on more than one occasion. So
without giving any spoilers, all I can really say is that this is most
certainly a worthwhile read and I would love to read more paranormal romance
stories by this author who clearly has no limits to his creativity. Two thumbs
up and loud applause to JH Glaze for once again creating another unforgettable magnum
opus!
