I blinked my eyes open and frowned. Where am I?
Sitting up, I glanced around the room I was in, then tilted my head. Am I in a cabin?
As I took everything in, a sudden memory hit. I was six and my parents took me to a ski resort over Christmas where we stayed in a cabin with a fireplace and a tiny kitchen and a big, blue, fluffy couch, and a huge Christmas tree in the corner… exactly like this one. Am I dreaming?
I stood and looked around with a frown. That cabin had been one of the last places I’d gone with my family. I’d always loved it there and wished I could go back, but I’d never wanted to go alone.
As I did a complete three-sixty, right when I faced the same place I’d started at, I jumped. There was a man. In black. Standing in front of the couch with his back to me. What the heck? Where had he come from? He hadn’t been there a second ago.
When he remained standing there for a few seconds, I quietly said, “Hello?”
The man startled and whipped his head around with wide eyes. He looked me up and down, then settled on my face as his brow furrowed and he whispered in a shocked voice, “What are you doing here?”
I blinked in surprise. “What am I doing here? Dude, this is my dream vacation cabin. What the hell are you doing here?” I had no idea why I was being so blunt in my dream, but since I knew it was a dream, I didn’t really care what this fake man thought of me… even if he was pretty damn gorgeous.
He took a tentative step toward me and whispered, “Grady?”
“Uh… yeah? How do you know my name?” Stupid question, I knew, but I couldn’t help but ask.
He didn’t answer, he only stared for a long, drawn out moment. “You’re really here, aren’t you?”
“What are you talking about? This is my dream, weird dream guy, of course I’m here.”
A slow smile spread on his rugged face. “Alaric Bloodgood.”
“What?”
“My name. It’s Alaric. In case you were wondering.”

[Lecture VO]
J'ai bien aimé ce livre globalement. Il y a des personnages sympas et attachants. J'ai adoré Alaric qui est tellement adorable !
Mais, il y a trop de choses qui restent sans réponses et en suspens et c'est très frustrant.
On ne connait pas vraiment les motivations de la sorcière Spoiler(cliquez pour révéler)pourquoi s'en prendre à Alaric et surtout pourquoi continuer de s'en prendre à lui par la suite ?
Le personnage de Regan reste aussi en suspens, d'une part on ne sait pas ce qu'il lui arrive par la suite et d'autre part Spoiler(cliquez pour révéler)on ne sait pas pourquoi il s'est senti "forcé" de rejoindre les rangs de la sorcière.
Quant à la relation entre Raphael/Isiah/Laz, l'auteur commence à faire quelque chose mais au final on ne sait absolument rien du tout ! J'ai pensé que l'auteur allait faire un livre sur eux, mais je n'ai rien trouvé...
Je ne comprends pas l'intérêt de commencer à raconter quelque chose, tout ça pour nous laisser en plan ensuite.

Résumé
I can’t really complain about my life; I have a job I love and a best friend that fills the void of my nonexistent family, but sometimes I’m lonelier than I like to admit. Especially with the holiday season approaching, I can’t help but wish I had someone special to share it with.
My friend gives me a snow globe with a man and a snowy owl inside, and for some bizarre reason, this man starts showing up every night when I close my eyes. It’s… not real, but I can’t seem to get the guy out of my head. It probably shouldn’t surprise me that my brain conjures up the perfect man in my dreams… well, almost perfect if he’d stop claiming to be a warlock. But the crazy thing is that all of it—that he—feels so real.
When I start falling for the man, the warlock, I can’t help but wish that what we have in my dreams could be a reality. I know it can’t, but at least when I’m asleep, I can be with him—with Alaric.
