My Review:
Can an alluring vampire be Gretchen’s dreamcatcher? Tattoo artist Gretchen O’Malley can’t sleep due to horrific nightmares. Being sleep-deprived is not a good look for her. She goes with her bestie to a holistic fair in the hopes of finding someone, anyone, who can help her sleep and make the nightmares go away. She meets Makaha who is an offbeat Shaman Practitioner. She’s drawn to him but doesn’t know why. Is he a significant person from her past lives or something more? He kisses her, touches her, and a piece of her soul yearns for more. It takes her some time to figure out how he fits into her life, but will he accept her? Will she risk her heart to be with Makaha for all eternity or will he push her away?
Dreamcatcher is a spellbinding hot paranormal romance I couldn’t put down. This story is an emotional roller coaster ride from start to finish. While it is part of a multi-author series, Marilyn Barr puts her own twist on it. There is immense detail concerning Hawaiian shaman rituals and beliefs which I found incredibly fascinating. It added a new dimension to the overall story. I connected with both Gretchen and Makaha from the beginning. Their immediate attraction propelled the romance with intense emotions. The plot itself wove through expertise writing and romantic tension. The ending made me cry happy tears. I’m a huge fan of Marilyn Barr’s books and writing. Her ability to draw the reader in is second to a handful of gifted writers. Dreamcatcher is a brilliant paranormal romance from start to finish. If you’re a steamy paranormal romance reader, you’ll want to read Dreamcatcher. If you’re looking for a heart-wrenching paranormal romance, pick up Dreamcatcher. Highly recommend!

Author Biography:
Marilyn Barr currently resides in the wilds of Kentucky with her husband, son, and rescue cats. She has a diverse background containing experiences as a child prodigy turned medical school reject, published microbiologist, special education/inclusion science teacher, homeschool mother of a savant, certified spiritual/energy healer, and advocate for the autistic community. This puts her in the position to bring tales containing heroes who are regular people with different ability levels and body types, in a light where they are powerful, lovable, and appreciated.
When engaging with the real world, she is collecting characters, empty coffee cups, and unused homeschool curricula. She is a sucker (haha) for cheesy horror movies, Italian food, punk music, black cats, bad puns, and all things witchy.
