Thank you to Netgally, the publishers, and Laura C. Reden
When I requested this book I was unaware that it was apart of a series, one that requires you to read the previous books for this one to make sense. I am unable to read all the previous books along with this one before the publish date. Therefore, I will rate this a fair 3/5 stars and will adjust the rating and review when I am able to read all the books in the series along with this one.
A really satisfying conclusion to the series. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to read more by the author
This is the first book in the Phantom Series. This series is just fantastic! Can you locate the true road when you can't distinguish the difference between real and imagined? Can you navigate between the living and the dead? That is the question posed in the final installment of this series. I couldn't put this or the other novels in the series down!
This is book of in the Phantom Series. This series is absoutely awesome! When you can't tell the difference between real and imagined, can you find the true path? Can you find your way between the living and the dead? That is the question in the last book of this series. I could hardly put this or any of the other books in this series down!
Review in progress and to come.
I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review
I was so excited to finally have the final book in the series since I've been reading the ARC's from the very beginning. I've been so invested in Kinsley's journey and as more strange things began to unfold, I was dying to know how everything would wrap up and end. And now that I have reached the conclusion, I have to say I love the way that the author wrapped everything up.
The ending was not as predictable as I thought it might have been and I genuinely enjoyed getting to spend the whole last half of the book exploring Kinsley's real life and seeing how it correlated with everything that had gone on in Baylor Lake. We all like to analyze our dreams and how they might relate to our current lives, our insecurities or concerns and our desires. Many of the insecurities that our protagonist goes through are very relatable to the young adult audience that this is geared towards and it's nice to see how she is able to start overcoming some of that and start to make more impactful choices in her life.
I think my only critique would be that we didn't get to know that much about real life Walker at the very end but I understand if it was supposed to be more open ended and open to interpretation. I also really wanted to know more about the Vandal's as I feel like there was more to it. There was a lot of focus on them in the Baylor Lake world and we don't get much explanation other than money laundering. I wanted to know what was in the bag/box!!!
But overall, this was a great series! It was a nice mix of mystery, suspense and paranormal with a touch of romantic intrigue. I can't wait to see more from this author in the future.
This is the 4th book of The Phantom series, to understand completly the story it need to read previous book. My first in this series and this book is good. Kinsley and her friends trap in the dream state, where she can manifest anything. Kinsley in crossroad, try to understand everything. The key is "you only see what you want to see" it is up to you if you ready or not for the truth. Dont let your dream controlling you.
Thank you to NetGalley for provide this book, it is pleasure to review this book.

This book, unfortunately, brings the excellent Phantom Series to an end. I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute reading this, the fourth, and the previous three books in this slightly dark but haunting fantasy. The book continues to explore themes of love and relationships, accepting all parts of yourself and with coping mentally with trauma. And without spoilers much more besides. I thought this perfectly brought the story to a close. I have to say to get the best experience read the four books in order. Unlike me you won’t have to wait patiently for the next book to be published as they are all available and you can binge read them. Or alternatively take your time, settle down in your favourite corner and slide gently into the whole experience presented to you by the author. Thank you to Laura C Reden and NetGalley for the ARC.
