Of Dreams and Shadow by D.S. McKnight [Review]

Synopsis

We live.  We die.  Is there anything more?  Jenna Barton is about to find out.  After moving to the coastal North Carolina town of Parson’s Cove, Jenna has unwittingly stepped into the middle of a mystery involving a missing child.  Unfortunately, the predator is still on the loose and Jenna has become his new obsession.  With a little luck and a bit of paranormal help, Jenna might survive.

What I Thought

I thought this book was an engaging adventure. It may be more geared towards teenagers, but I was drawn into the drama going on at the high school and who liked who probably more than what was going on with the missing child that started out the story. The author really nailed the friendships in high school and the tragic way teens can treat each other sometimes. I did think there were a bit too many cliche’s used within the dialogue and at times I had trouble following the time shifts throughout the book. Overall, this is an exciting read and definitely worth the try.

It is her love of the North Carolina coast that fueled her desire to write.  Of Dreams and Shadow: Forget Me Not (book 1) is her first novel.
