Shea Caldwell is terrified. Her childhood fear has returned and she is once again sleepwalking, a victim of a Somnambulist. Meanwhile, she asks Derek Oneiros for a background check and help with security at her company. Little does she realize that Derek is a part of a mythological family, one of the Dream Wreakers, who can help her get to the bottom of her nightmare fears. Shea doesn't know if all the strange happenings are her own nighttime doings or if someone else is out there stalking her....

Kimberly Dean infuses mythology into the storyline of IN HER WILDEST DREAMS so expertly as to be seamless. The entire concept, from the mythology to the dream sequences, is exceptionally well done. Kimberly Dean adds just the right touch of mystery to this haunting tale to make it absolutely perfect. One can feel Shea’s fear and confusion as to whether the events around her are part of her Somnambulist's actions or whether she is being stalked. It was all I could do to not peek at the ending to see how it all resolved!

IN HER WILDEST DREAMS is the second book featuring the Oneiros family but works quite well as a stand alone. The close ties of Derek and his brothers are evident and it is easy to fall in love with all of them. I look forward to reading the first book, WHAT SHE WANTS AT MIDNIGHT, to see more of this family and their world. Highly recommended!
