I love Abbie's books so much and when I was granted to read an advance reader's copy, I was so excited!!!

Never Let Me Fall, love the story and the characters. In this book, you'll see the connection of each of the characters in the previous books in the series (si I advise you guys to read the first 2 before reading this one). Anyway, the story is good and I love how I easily connected the dots in the story of the series. Overall, it's good. It's not 5 star, not as amazing as the other ones but it's still a good story.

This book was dark and great. I enjoyed that Thomas could see people's lives by a touch but was saddened that he could only see black and white...until Helena who changed everything. The story was suspenseful and I can't wait to read another one in the series!!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebook/Casablanca for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is the third in a series, I have not read the others. While I think this reads well as a stand alone, it is possible that the things that I was confused about were previously explained. I found "the connection" confusing as it was never really explained. This is the story of Helena an innocent felon and Thomas someone who only sees in black and white. As soon as Thomas is near Helena, he sees in color! Terrible, mind boggling things have happened to each of them-yet they continue to move forward. This book depressed me with the violence that people can inflict on each other, but also inspired me on the resilience and hope of love. Helena is terrified and rightly so, and Thomas just wants to be near her. This is a good entertaining read. I rate it a solid 4.

This book by new to me author, Abbie Roads, had me feel so many emotions: sadness, horror, disgust but then hope and happiness.

This is book 3 of the Fatal Dreams series. Unfortunately I did not read the first two in the series so I didn’t have the connection to the characters, but I did not feel too lost reading this book. This story is about Thomas and Helena, two individuals that has had such horrible things happen to them that I honestly was not able to comprehend how they were still able to remain sane.

We begin the story with Helena in prison for a crime she did not commit; she has been incarcerated for the last ten years and was to be released the next day. The beginning scene, actually the first sentence had gripped me. I felt so much sadness and horror for what Helena went through while in prison and then when she was finally released. We then meet Thomas, he too is introduced as a tortured soul who had gone through a horrible childhood where he lost the ability to see color. Without going into too much detail and giving away the story, these two are star-crossed lovers that has this amazing connection that you just can’t help but root for them. The story was fast-paced with lots of twists and turns and some surprises (not always in a good way!) and it was very unique.

All in all, this was an interesting story and kept me engaged and rooting for their happily ever after.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for giving me the opportunity to read this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Thank you Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for allowing me to read Never let me fall for a honest review. I recently just finished Abbie Roads' first 2 books in this series and couldn't wait to read Thomas' story.
I loved the fable of Fearless and Bear and it is once again featured here. The story is the same dark, gritty paranormal romance as Race the darkness and Hunt the dawn and picks up where Hunt the dawn ends. Helena is the perfect fit for Thomas! The story is fast=paced, lots of action, but has some uncomfortable scenes with the evil Stepfather. Sometimes its worse thinking about what is happening rather than being shown. This is Abbie's strong suit in her stories. I hope there is more!

Intriguing potential, but it just didn’t work for me. The “bear” and the premonitions were confusing. Maybe if I’d read earlier books (I’m assuming there are others), then I wouldn’t be so confused and left saying “huh?”. The two main characters were interesting, but so mired down from their pasts that it was hard to see positive in them. All-in-all, I can’t recommend this.

Not really my type of read. I gave it a go, tried it and even thought it wasn't for me, the writing was good and it flowed very well.

Dark and edgy thriller that incorporates paranormal along with the main characters being connected on a mythological base around a centuries old legend of two star-crossed lovers.

The author sure likes to put uncomfortable storylines in her books. I never think she can top the last book on the torturous past of the main characters and twisted things the villain does but she manages it every time.

This being the third book in the series I noticed that too many parts of each book are closely similar and interchangeable. I get the series is around the long dead star-crossed lovers of Fearless and Bear but when you know the plot points ahead of time and even what is going to happen in the book that's a little too cookie cutter for me. I'd point out the exact similarities in each book but for those that haven't read the series that would be spoilery.

Fatal Dreams is a unique series that walks the line of paranormal, thriller, horror and romance. Even though I was a little disappointed with similarities between the books I still recommend this series to fans of the genre..
