Angel or Demon?

Naive and heart-stoppingly handsome, he calls himself Alejandro, and Madison O’Riley has no clue what to do with him. As they set out to recover his lost identity, Madison realizes the mysterious man who saved her life harbors deep, otherworldly secrets that will put her in grave danger.

The Devil is in the Details

Gremory Jones has something for everyone, and for a price, he’s willing to make a deal. Walking the streets in top hat and trench coat, he tempts the citizens with mysterious wares from his shiny black briefcase. But buyer beware: All sales are final - and fatal.

A Scorching New Terror Has Come to Town

The townspeople are changing in appalling ways and it's up to Madison - with the help of a psychic, a local priest, and the new chief of police - to help Alejandro unlock his forgotten powers before an unspeakable evil tears apart the fabric of existence ... and costs them their very souls …

From bestselling author Alistair Cross comes a forbidden tale of love and redemption, of good and evil, and those who dare to stand up to Hell itself.

Just wow. Not what I was expecting at all but gosh this was a great experience. My first from this author but definitely not the last. I can't but compare it with Stephen King . Full blown immersive horror.

[Snack-Size Review] Dream Reaper, by Alistair Cross

What It’s About: Madison O’Riley lives a normal life. She has a normal house and a small business in a small town where she’s well-liked and everything is normal. Until, that is, she falls nearly to her death and is rescued by a beautiful naked man who has silver eyes and no memories. And just then, another stranger arrives in town, offering its citizens their deepest heart’s desire - for a price, of course.

A Word From The Nerd: This is the first book by Mr. Cross that I’ve read, and it won’t be the last. For a 600-page tome, Dream Reaper moved surprisingly fast. The town of Prominence, California quickly spirals into 50 Shades of Needful Things, and I am HERE for it. I will admit that the ending felt just a little TOO cliche-happy, and I was bothered a bit by some of the wording in places. But trust me, you want this book. You want it badly.

The Nerd’s Rating: FOUR HAPPY NEURONS (and a spoonful of honey for… well… damn near everything!)

Small backstory:

Madison O'Riley is rescued by a mysterious stranger (Alejandro) during a rain storm at her house when she falls off her roof into her koi pond. Madison is beside herself though when the stranger is completely naked and the stranger has no idea of his own identity. Almost like he appeared from nowhere to help her out of her situation. But she is going to do whatever it takes to find out who he is and where he comes from.

Within the town though another mysterious stranger appears (Gremory Jones) and wants to buy an old run down haunted church that has been on the market a long time. Gremory though has some interesting plans of what he wants to do with the church but he is also a salesman of sorts as he goes about the town interacting with the townspeople and granting them wishes for whatever they desire.

The two strangers are on a collision course with each other and before it is all said and done the mystery will be solved of who each one of them really is and what will happen within a small town which could make the town become hell on earth!

That is about all I can give on a small backstory without giving away spoilers so if you want to know more then go read this book!

Thoughts:

This is my first time reading this author and I saw this book pop up last week so I grabbed it as the cover looks so creepy that it drew me right in. I was happy that I grabbed it as this book was a whirlwind of suspense and just downright "heebie jeebie" feelings while reading the story!

I felt that the story moved along at a good pace with some different things happening as the mystery and suspense of both strangers made this book move quick with wondering "who they really were" and what were they both doing in the same town at the same time. Kept my suspense meter running in the red as I tried to figure out what was really going on and finally it all comes together.

I really liked all the characters and the supporting characters in this story as well and became attached to some of the main characters. I am planning on reading more books by this author as I am curious what other creepy stories lay in wait for me within his books. Giving this book five "Freaky Creepy" stars!

I loved this book from the first word. I was drawn into this quaint quiet town where people are no worse than anywhere else until one day a woman falls from her roof and all hell breaks loose.

Outstanding Plot and Characters. I could have used a little more in scene settings; but they were wholly adequate. I’ve read, and will continue to this author’s works. A lot like Richard Laymon; but not as erotic.

Although the sex and violence was graphic at times, it was not gratuitous and followed the story line well. It was a book that I looked forward to every day at the end of the day.
Looking anxiously to another book by him.

Another Brilliant Must-Read Book By Alistair Cross!

Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

In 1991 Stephen King released Needful Things and years later, it became one of my favourite books and movies. When I first read the synopsis for Dream Reaper, I was incredibly intrigued, as the concept of Gregory Jones reminded me of Leland Gaunt. I was already familiar with Mr. Cross' work and never once found myself disappointed by anything he has written, (in fact, two of his books are among my all-time favourites), so Dream Reaper quickly jumped to the top of my “To Read” list. It was absolutely everything I had hoped it would be and so much more. Not only did it have bloodshed, gore, the supernatural, horror and erotica, but it also held pure love and innocence in the form of a character named Alejandro. I have said it before and I will say it again, Alistair Cross, not only has an untouchable grace and talent when it comes to the written word, but he creates dynamic characters and breathes life into each and every one of them.

Madison, the main protagonist in Dream Reaper, meets Alejandro after an unfortunate accident during a severe storm. Quickly, the man who is unable to recall a single detail about his past becomes an integral part of her life, helping her to overcome many of the issues from her own. The bond between these two characters is what made me fall in love with this book and literally brought tears to my eyes. Cross not only created a masterful horror narrative about an ongoing battle between the forces of good and evil within the pages of Dream Reaper, he also created stories of personal struggles, overcoming obstacles, and timeless love... and he did it all flawlessly.

Dream Reaper is not in any way Needful Things, the plot is completely different, and Cross' book has so much more, in my opinion, to offer the reader. Between his immaculately written settings, atmosphere, dialogue and brilliant plot, Alistair Cross has yet again outdone himself with another impressive and inspiring novel. I can't wait to read the next one.

I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and kept me hanging on. My one complaint about the book is the amount of graphic sexual content, way too much and anyone who wants to read this book beware. In my opinion there is more sex than horror in this book the last 10% was amazing very exciting when the angels took over and showed everyone who was in charge.
