Make Willing the Prey Dreams by Streetlight Book 0 eBook Luna Lindsey

Does the notion of having a secret admirer catch your fancy?  Someone who writes you sweet notes and sends thoughtful gifts.  Most individuals would find that to be quite flattering.  However, what if that admirer as simply leading you on with evil and malice in their heart?  The sad truth is that this can often be the case.  Either intended as a cruel trick meant to get a cheap laugh... or something much more sinister in nature.  Even more concerning- what if the admirer is not even human?  Instead, it is a mythical creature with a serious chip on its shoulder!  If this has piqued your interest then Make Willing the Prey, by Luna Lindsey, may well be worth a read.

Essentially, the story revolves around the trials and tribulations of the main character, Sandy Windham.  Starting off in the novel as a "bookish" and somewhat lonely teaching assistant, she soon finds herself the object of a secret admirer's affection.  Feeling quite ecstatic at first with the sudden onslaught of gifts and messages, these feelings of elation change as things begin to get very strange and macabre.  Something evil this way comes!  Soon everything takes a very drastic turn as Sandy and her best friend Jina are trapped in an old house with the demented admirer.  Mind you... this is no ordinary run of the mill villain.  He is actually a faerie by the name of Haun who is a master of illusions.  His mission is to wed and subjugate Sandy and he will stop at nothing to inflict his tortuous will.  What follows is a virtual menagerie of horror and illusion.  Do Sandy and Jina have what it takes to battle and escape the clutches of this malicious faerie?  Or are they doomed to exist in his deadly grasp eternally?

There can be little doubt that this story contains a number of very positive aspects.  For instance, it is very imaginative, suspenseful and action-packed.  The elements of horror are descriptive and will create vivid images within the mind of the reader.  Also, the plot unfolds in a neat and structured manner and the use of dialogue is witty and engaging.  The back and forth banter between the characters actually enhances the overall direction of the tale.

That being said, there are a number of limitations in this book as well.  For example, I had great difficulty with the overall believability of the characters.  Sandy is a very intelligent woman, but the way she responded to the abundance of creepy gifts left by Huan was beyond gullible.  Even after she began to grow suspicious, she still ate some of the treats left behind?  Was she dumbstruck by a new love opportunity?  That simply did not resonate with me.  Another example would be the romantic tryst which takes place between Jina and Lewis.  Right in the middle of a full blown crisis with Sandy trying to break down the door?  It just did not come across as authentic and I therefore had difficulty with character growth and development throughout the  tale.  However, with what is included in the epilogue, I am hopeful there are changes coming in this regard in the next book by this author.

Overall, I did find Make Willing the Prey an enjoyable story to read.  As previously discussed, there are some drawbacks to the book, and I would include sufficient editing and proofreading to that.  By and large however, I did enjoy this quick read.

Make Willing the Prey Dreams by Streetlight Book 0 eBook Luna Lindsey Reviews

I love dark fairytales but there was something particularly disturbing about this one. The act of a simple bet and so manylives are ruined -- haunting.
I got off to a bit of a slow start feeling like my introduction to Lindsey's fae-universe was a bit fast and jolting with a hint of childish immaturity. About 20% of the way through I realized I was hooked and finished the book on the plane last night (kindle for android). The richly imagined, reality-bending home of S.A. had me rushing through the pages to see what would happen next as the surreal surroundings entranced me just as S.A. seeks to entrance his prey. A sequel is hinted at and I can't wait to see what kind of perspective-changing (mis)adventures Sandy gets herself into as she seeks her revenge.
When I started this book, I was not sure how I felt, I have read lots of other books that had the fae in them and this one felt a little different. I didn't know if it was a good different or a bad different though.

Shortly after starting though I was pretty well hooked. I really liked the characters, the storyline was believable, the twists were twisty, and I wasn't sure where it was going until it got there (OK, I assumed the good guys would win, But how? And how many of them?)

Overall, this was a really good book. It was a little short, but as an entrance into a new world, it was a great beginning. I sincearly hope that Luna will release more books in this world!

This is an interesting story with well-developed characters. I enjoyed reading a story that had a new take on fae and human intereactions. I personally found the tale a little dark so I don't think I will be pursuing the rest of the stories in the series.
Just my feelings - someone else might really like the tone and take of the story.
This is a fairly dark modern faerie tale with strong roots in classic European tradition (Grimm, et al.), though written in a somewhat lighthearted tone. It's an enjoyable, quick read with compelling characters. There are some grammar and formatting issues, though. The grammar errors probably would have been caught by an editor, though it may be intentional since most are in dialogue. The formatting, I chock up to the limitations imposed by the format.
