Able to navigate sleep’s vast dreamwaters, wild child Maisie Lane makes easy money as a courier delivering packages from one dream to another. So what if her employers are on the shadier side of the law? Her sister thinks she’s living for the pleasure of the moment. Pleasure is involved—why shouldn’t it be?—but every step Maisie takes is part of a careful plan. That is, until she crosses into a dream so evil, she has no choice but to run.
Special Agent Steve Coll is tasked to recruit Maisie for Chimera, the organization that polices shared dreams. At first he’s taken with her funny and carefree spirit, then brought to his knees by her tough and passionate soul. Touching her is forbidden ecstasy, but Steve can’t resist breaking the rules with Maisie. A darkness is gathering, evil preparing to strike, and only Maisie stands between it and innocent lives. No matter what happens, Steve won’t let her stand alone—he’ll die before he leaves her side.

My Review

Lay Me Down is the second novella to Erin Kellison’s Reveler series, and it continues on where Darkness Falls left off at. In Lay Me Down, we have Maisie and Steve taking the reigns with this story. Special Agent Steve Coll is apart of the Chimera and wants to recruit Maisie for Chimera. Unfortunately, if you’ve read Darkness Falls you’ll find out that Maisie has gotten into something that is shady for the Rêves. She’s been delivering for packages through dreams, but she never knows what she is delivering. All she cares about it is the money she receives from delivering. She has no clue that the people that make her deliver the packages are under Chimera’s radar as being up to NO good.

In Lay Me Down, we find out a little more about the Chimera and the bad guys. Steve and Maisie were two characters I adored in complete different ways. Steve with his secret that is revealed in this book that should freak people out…especially Maisie, but she actually takes it very well. He is also very protective of Maisie…even though he tries to convince himself he’s not. The minute I was introduced to Maisie in Darkness Falls, I adored her personality. She is what you would consider a rebel, and she doesn’t care what people think of her. She also has a smart mouth and knows how to deal with Steve. She has rare talents like her sister, Jordan does and I was fascinated to learn about Maisie in Lay Me Down.

The storyline although felt a little rushed in this book, which is why it’s not getting the full 5 full moons. I felt confused during parts of the story because of how fast everything was going, but I still enjoyed reading it. Questions were answered in this story about certain things I was curious about. I know the author is most likely building up the story even further, which I can patiently wait for. =)

I give this book 4.5 moons and recommend it to PNR readers out there that enjoy not only paranormal elements, but also a mixture of suspense and lots of action.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
