"Trapped in a Dream" by Victoria Caro

Cool story idea (two people connected on a dream plane since birth drawn together by common danger) but hampered by two things. 1) Dream sequences are not terribly interesting as a novel and those sections tended to drag a little and 2) There were certain turns of phrase which made it very clear that English is not the author's first language. That's the peril of self-publishing: an editor would have caught that stuff

I got this for free during 'Read an Ebook Week' and it's now $7.99. I would not recommend it, especially at that price,. If she is charging commercial-level prices, she should offer a commercial-level product and a book with faulty English isn't that. No offense to the author, who from her website seems to be an interesting person with a cool life, but this is just very amateur-feeling and in need of a good edit.
