Fall asleep with a pirate on your mind tonight.

Waking up, I find myself submerged in the deep blue waters of the dark seas. Tucked into a small alcove set in amongst the blackened rock, I slowly uncross my arms from the fetal position as the effervescence blooms from the movement. The beautiful bubbles float and drift away just as I longed to do so many times.
How is this happening?
How am I breathing water?
Am I dead?
And so begins the tale of one girl lost in an underwater world.

Familiarity with Kailee Reese Samuels’ books is highly recommended. Nocturne books are not standalone, but accent pieces to her other books; she crafted Nocturne specifically for her fans by dressing up her characters for Halloween. As with all of her words, expect a whirlwind—only this time, in the sea.

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Just a girl who loves pushing boundaries in original, addictive noir/dark fiction with genre-busting elements from dark romance, romantic suspense, psychological thriller, mafia, MC, and realism. Intense, thought-provoking, edge-of-your-seat, gripping page-turners that stick with you long after the last sentence. TAT Books serve as the perfect escape with a delicious beverage, a box of chocolate, and plenty of tissues.

Dear Readers (Raniero Fangirls) have come to expect my emotionally crippling writing style.

Storyteller embracing diversity. Coffee addict. Mango lover. Blueberry fetishist. Sweet peach tea crazy. Red wine devout. Whiskey deviant. Tattooed & pierced. Bare feet. Sand. Sun. Collects rosaries. Fanatical organizer/cleaner/list-maker. Never sleeps. Hermit and recluse. Social media avoider. Sexy trucks, bad boy alphas, hot ink, loud music, long nails, and good football. Brisket is a birthright, y’all. Being in the water is a good thing—mermaid in a former life.

I worship everyone who reads one of my books, whether they enjoy it or not, and firmly believe they should all wear a crown.

Mermaids pirates and Sal oh my!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018

“I am the light; he is the dark. And sometimes, even angels have to visit their devils in hell.”

A Shimmering Dream is a seductive tale that happens under the sea. Going in I knew this was going to be a hot and steamy little treat but I wasn’t expecting it to cause me to shed a few tears along the way. When it comes to a certain couple my love runs deep, which in turn, causes me to become a complete emotional mess.

“No one ever said being his girlfriend would be easy. No one said loving him would hurt so much.”

I loved how so many different characters made appearances and how more than a few parts tugged on my heart. Be sure to have an ice cold glass of water near by because a few scenes are scorching hot!! I mean panty melting hot!! As always I am left begging please, please, please I need more!!! I honestly believe everyone can enjoy this book even if you aren’t into mermaids or pirates. I can’t wait to see what is in store for next years Nocturnal Annual!

“He is my one, my only— my salvation and my damnation, my curse and my blessing— and trust is the key.”

Iris has to deal with walking away from Sal to save him. In a drug-induced haze to help give her the strength to truly walk away, she finds herself underwater, and able to breathe. In this world, she works to fight her way back to Sal, to say the proper goodbye they need, and to find the strength to do so.

So many people made an appearance in this book, either as mermaids or pirates, it was a very nice touch to have Amber grow closer to Iris. I also appreciated the pieces slipping together just a bit more in the overall arch of things. This is one of the hardest things Iris has ever had to do and yet she must because Sal has asked her to. Feeling a bit insecure with her place in his world, this goodbye, the one underwater, is the goodbye that she needs, even if she still isn't ready for it.

This was a different write for Samuels but because it included so many characters we have grown to love, it fits in perfectly with the world of Juliet. Iris has a long road ahead, 3 long years in fact, but for her "trust is the key". I cannot wait to find out what more is in store for not only Iris but Amber, Sal, all six of them, and everyone else not involved in this.

Magical, undersea dream world

A Shimmering Dream sends us on a magical, twisted journey into the glittery undersea dream world of Sal's mermaids and his dom pirates. An adventure as we visit inside the subconscious mind of
Iris and her love for Sal. Romantic and poetic as well as hot, sizzling scenes.
Always expect the unexpected from KS's stories. She will send you on mind blowing emotional ride as she crafts her characters and sets them up on their twisted journey. I can't wait for her next installment!

Absolutely wonderful syncing of characters and plots. The image of Sal and his boys as Pirates, YES Please!
The interactions between Iris and other members on Sal’s “team” brings about an understanding for Iris, while it still leaves her with some questions. The imagery is astounding, in its shimmering structure. It brings both light to darkness as well as darkness to light. Absolutely recommended to all Lovers of Sal and his intriguing journey!

Iris' Escape from Reality

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

As Iris walks away from Sal the pain is to unbearable that she requests a sedative to help her calm down. What happens once she is asleep is a nocturne through oceans of light & dark, a sea full of mermaids & pirates, and one thing she had to leave behind. Iris must learn to accept there is no other way but to part from her other half. The aftermath is never pretty but the reward at the end is worth fighting for.

"Believe. Faith. Trust. Walk your own path

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

To put their plan to end up together into action Iris must go away for a while. This book takes place while she is in a drugged state that Sal puts her in so she can try to deal. It's a strange way to bring all these characters together but somehow Kailee makes it work. Breaking up was never easy, sometimes even angels must visit their devils in hell.

This book was a little different. Has characters from some of the other books as well as the favorite Sal. Jump in & take a trip on. The hot underwater dream world!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2018

Immersing ourselves in the lives of our favourite team, we end in up in dreamscape/LSD type trip into the wonderful and weird. Rich in language and imagination, Kailee makes a gleeful and delightfully naughty excursion into the subconscious of Iris, while she is 'enabled' to come to terms with her current life situation. As always, Kailee delights in these characters and provides us with a rich canvas for our own imaginations! Fabulous!!
