Deadly Dreams

De: K.J. Sutton

Narrado por: Emma Lysy

Fortuna has made one too many sacrifices to protect the ones she loves. She no longer knows how to go about her day-to-day life like she’s normal. Like she’s not utterly destroyed. Just a glimpse of Ian O’Connell’s face causes panic attacks, and Collith isn’t much help, considering he’s fighting demons of his own. Among so much inner turmoil, Fortuna’s abilities are still changing. However weak she feels, she knows she’s getting stronger. Fortuna does her best to hide it from other Fallen because, in the world of monsters, strength will get you killed. Well, that and unpredictable panic attacks. Unfortunately for Fortuna, it’s when you’re most vulnerable that enemies - new and old - like to come out of the woodwork....

Disappointed

I really enjoyed the first two books. This one however was disappointing. I almost DNFed this book. The plot is very disjointed and goes nowhere. Fortuna makes the same mistakes over and over again. She never learns from her reckless decisions. She constantly hurts people she lives and then hates herself for it. The author seems use the same tactics where Fortuna starts an important conversation with someone and gets interrupted or refuses to hear them out. It was tiring and extremely frustrating. Basically it’s the same mistakes we thought she learned from the first two books with a plot that makes little sense. I felt like I wasted my time. I hate not finished a series but I am not sure I will continue this one.

confused? enraged? (spoilers)

so I LOVED the first two books... and I was excited for this one going in. I liked the conflict of trauma between fortuna and colleth but I never felt like it got resolved in a meaningful way? like just randomly, Colleth was fine? he built her a house, everything's chill. and then she has ONE conversation with a person she BARELY knows and flips a switch and decides to throw EVERYTHING away without even TALKING to Colleth. I had to stop reading and it took me about a month to come down from the rage in my soul.I was hoping the author would give a twist on an overused trope but no. she makes impulsive decisions, having learned absolutely nothing from the first two books. and then immediately after, she makes another impulsive decision which ultimately means nothing because the cliffhanger is essentially just 'im gonna undo the bad choice you made LITERALLY TEN MINUTES AGO' im not sure why i should care at this point? Fortuna went from being a caring, dangerous heroine to just being straight up stupid.

There were also like four different main plots and none of them were resolved by Fortuna so they felt kinda pointless and went nowhere. like the whole thing with 'the hunt' could have been entirely cut out and nothing would have changed and yet we spent like 4 hours on it.

ALSO when is Oliver gonna matter??? I've been waiting three books for him to have any amount of significance. At the beginning of this one, Fortuna made a monster cus she was thinking about it and for the ENTIRE book, up until the last three minutes, I was waiting for Oliver to become an actual person. I'm so mad that this is where this story went. there was so much potential but I feel like I've wasted my time and emotional investment only to be consistently let down.

Oh how the turn tables!

What a roller coaster of twists and turns and emotions and heartache. This series has my heart in a chokehold!

I need more Fortuna!

I read book 1 and 2 and absolutely loved them - I waited about 3 months for book 3 to come out on audio and it was TOTALLY worth the wait! Fortuna continues to kick ass while making friends and enemies on the way. I really like how she goes through real life experiences and you can understand her thought process. I also really like how she puts her family first - another way for the reader to relate. It's alot of magic mixed with some real life.

The narrator is my new favorite! She captures all the characters sarcasm, sadness and happiness so perfectly.

I can't wait for more books! The author could write 100 more and it still wouldn't be enough :D

Fortuna Sworn Jumps Again

I must have yelled at Fortuna so many times in this book. I thought I was impulsive
