Blurb:
Isis can control her dreams. Or she could—until recently. The creature in her nightmares has been haunting her for months. As if being dumped wasn’t bad enough, now she dreads going to sleep. She decides to confront the creature and win back some of her peace; only, she finds that he’s not a monster and he’s not a dream. 
A sacrifice for love, a shocking discovery and a jealous ex-boyfriend blur the lines between reality and dreams, making it hard to tell who the real monsters are. 
Who would’ve known…that sometimes love is lethal?

Excerpt:
At the entrance to the school, I found David sitting on a red brick bench, waiting for me.
“Morning,” I said, looking away for a second as I wiped the girlish grin from my face. I was remembering last night’s kiss. 
“Good morning.” 
He opened the glass doors for me, then took my hand and asked me to follow him to a semi-empty area across from the glass doors and windows. He gave me a gentle push and my back touched the wall. He leaned close and placed his finger on my lips. His touch sent tiny electrical shocks through every fiber of my body.
“I crave your lips. Give me but one taste and I’ll ask no more.”
I shook my head turned away, but he turned it back so that I was looking straight into his eyes. 
“Why do you insist on this?” I asked.
“Why else would I crave your lips if I didn’t already know the sweet nectar that they possess?”
“No,” I said, shutting my eyes to keep from starring into his mesmerizing blue gaze. “It’s forbidden.”
“It’s as forbidden as the illicit fruit of Hades, but even he has eaten from it.”

~~Kj's Review~~
  Isis hasn’t slept in a while, there is a monster in her dreams and it’s not helping matters. But after being medicated she meets her “monster”, turns out he’s a god. David appears in her day to day life and Isis really starts learning interesting things; not just about David, but about herself as well. What will happen with a love that isn’t supposed to be permitted, what will happen to Isis?
 This was an interesting story, I really liked the background to David’s family. I would love to see where this goes as I became fascinated by the thought of what may happen with Isis. I really need to see what is going to happen next. I would like to thank Nely Cab for the chance to read and review her book.
