It’s earned me the rightful title of Commander and now I protect the rich in their sleep with my … in their sleep with my team of warriors.

I liked this story. I have read other stories about fighting while asleep and it has always fascinated me. I think I am also fascinated by the concept of group consciousness and this book also touches on that theme.
I can’t wait to see what Kitty and Damien get up to next. I also love Jer and hope that we get to see more of his genius.
Oh this book ends on a cliffy but good news, the next one is out.
I hope you enjoy it too.
Happy Reading!

Rising (Dream Wars #1)
Woah, this is a kind blowing world build!!
When Earth is invaded by a race of Aliens that ate anything alive, from inside our dreams, civilisation as we knew it, ground to halt. In the sort of ‘virtual reality’ known as Dream Wars, children were safe until they hit puberty. Then they were aged in & were fair game – literally. In the decade since the Ghouls had arrived they’d decimated most creatures & half of the entire human population!!
Kit her elite team had been together for years & had been through the cadet school together to train, they were family. Kit also trained at a dojo in meditation & samurai sword fighting to hone her skills & better protect their team & clients! They have just taken a contract to provide protection in the Dream Wars for Damien & Jeremy Striker plus their two staff members they class as family. Once they all sleep & are copied to the Dream Wars scape they were struggling to stay protected & Jeremy was a genius who designed many of weapons & gadgets they all needed to stay alive, Hence Kits elite team was needed!!
This is full of terror, complete bad@ssery, terror & heroics. Then they discover there’s political and elitist shenanigans going on that are hard to believe let alone swallow!! Decisions need to made & lines in the sand drawn before the Dream Wars obliterate the human race for good!!

If you love sci fi or even a hint of it I truly believe that you will enjoy this series. The author did a fabulous job adding a bit of mystery to this book. It grabs you and pulls you in further! It’s so intense, fast paced, and packed with action.
Audiobook review
4 stars
The narrator was great except with a few voices she would sound a bit nasally sometimes but not enough to take away from the narration. I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to listening to book 2.
As someone who has very, very few Sci-Fi books that I enjoy, I only started this series because I’ve read several books by Leia Stone and decided to give it a shot. The description of the book was unique, and nothing I had ever heard of before. I was a little worried the concept would make the books scary. So much so that I didn’t start the actual Dream Wars chapter until daytime (I hate scary movies/stories). Despite the conflict, it’s still a page-turner, but not scary. Kit’s team is well-rounded, and despite focusing on some characters more than others, they’re quickly well developed, and well liked. I like how main characters are safe (so far), though she’s not afraid to reflect the conflict of the Dream Wars in the wounds Kit and her team receive.
I really don’t have many criticisms of the story. I wish it was a bit longer if I’m being honest. Though it’s well rounded and doesn’t have any unnecessary fluff mixed in. The fact that the characters on average have 4 hours of sleep every two days is a bit unbelievable. Even worse when they have to make it 6 days without sleep at one point of the story. I can’t imagine how the body would handle that, if at all. But it’s an acceptable detail to overlook in order to fit within the story.
I really enjoyed book 1 and can’t wait to read more!
**** 5 STARS****
I was cruising around Amazon and this cover stopped me in my tracks.
This book was brilliant!
I absolutely loved the world building and the characters. This is the kind of Sci-Fi/Paranormal story that has me completely consumed and invested in reading more.
