Dream Crushers

By: Lezlie Stevens

Narrated by: Eric Bryan Moore

For centuries, humanity has fought wars, endured corruption, suffered disease, and watched the powerful prosper while ordinary people paid the price. What if none of it happened by accident? Some enemies don't conquer humanity. They become part of it.

Modig, Aislin, and an unlikely cast of characters are drawn together by a series of seemingly unrelated events, all leading toward one deadly purpose: find and kill a particularly nasty Queen.

Their hunt plunges them into a world of UAPs and Grey aliens, corrupt government officials, cartel sicarios, FBI agents—and an enemy far older and more dangerous than any of them realize. Along the way, they experience loss and hope, family and friendship, love and laughter, even as they fight something beyond imagination.

From 12th-century Wales to present-day Chicago, their journey exposes an ancient, dark and sinister presence that has hidden in plain sight for millennia—infiltrating the elite, poisoning humanity in mind and body, sowing conflict, and feeding on the pain and suffering left in its wake.

Part coming-of-age story, part medieval and continent-spanning adventure, part conspiratorial thriller and science-fiction fantasy, Dream Crushers is the first book in a four-part series—and the beginning of a much larger fight. Recommended for 18+ listeners.

A delightful cliffhanger…

The story is intriguing and imaginative; you get the feeling you really learn who the characters are and what their motivations are. And they are rather interesting people you want to know and, in my case, care about.

This is my first audiobook in sooooooo long (probably first in 10 years); the narrator was good but as a male narrator for female parts - that somewhat bothered me in the beginning; as the story telling continued on, I noticed I was able to put my annoyance aside and looked forward to listening for an hour or so every evening as I prepared dinner.

Now, it’s been a couple of days since I’ve finished this audiobook and honestly, I’m missing these characters in my life.

Cannot wait for book two and hear how the relationships continue to grow between the characters.

Great story with great narration!

This audio book was such a joy to listen to. Lezlie Stevens provides such excellent detail, it paints a very immersive mental picture. The character development it top notch allowing the reader/listener to become very emotionally involved with all the players, good and bad. Eric Moore does a fantastic job of narrating. This is story of Good versus Evil is one of the best since King's The Stand. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Outstanding!

I loved the back story of the different characters that turned into World Building at the same time. The Dynamics between the two couples was probably my favorite! Realistic and Fictional at once is hard to do and the author pulled it off. I can't wait for book two!

Very, Very talented narrator!

This story was a great effort of the writers. Very imaginative, fast moving and changeable! There was vivid imaginations, visuals, and different ways of speaking from different eras which was carried off brilliantly by Eric Bryan Moore! That man works magic!!! Good overall job!!!

A great read

This book grabbed my attention right from the start. The way the author blends reality and fantasy is wild. You're thrown into a medieval mystery in Wales, and then suddenly, you're tangled in a modern conspiracy in Chicago. It's more than just a story; it's a mind-bending journey.

What really stood out to me were the characters. They felt so real, each dealing with their own struggles, and I couldn't help but root for them. The themes of love, loss, and friendship added a depth that made the adventure even more compelling. Plus, the pacing was spot-on – enough twists to keep me engaged without overwhelming me.

Dream Crushers is a must-read. It's the kind of book that stays with you, making you think about the hidden forces that shape our world. If you're looking for a story that combines action, mystery, and genuine emotion, this is it. Being a sports mom with such a busy life, I made time to keep coming back to read this book. I loved that it was in an audio version as well. I may need to start reading again after this one, it was that good!
