Soul Magic #1
Finding West
This is a short story and beginning of the Soul Magic Serials.
Selene Gale was used to being alone. Her routine was the same every day. Her average job caused mild headaches and offered no excitement. Her drive home was painfully slow on most days. But at night, her dreams took her to an amazing place, full of magic, wonder, and happiness. Not to mention the golden Adonis that stole her breath away each time she encountered him.
While on a nature hike on her thirtieth birthday, Selene comes face to face with her magical destiny. Confusion clouds her every thought until she doesn’t know what is real and what is a dream… or if there’s a difference between them. Selene will find her answers in the most unlikely way she could imagine.

This is the first book by Courtney I have read and it is a great short story. A story of a girl who has dreams that she thinks are just fantasy until her dreams come true. A magical book for all to read

I loved the premise and downloaded the sample. I decided not to buy the book. The writing style did not work for me.

Too short, so many questions
This is my first time reading this author. I'm not sure if I'll be reading more. It's a serial, so I probably shouldn't have read it because of that. But I was curious.
The story is super short, taking less than 30 minutes to read. You get to see Selene's normal life before she enters her dreams, where the paranormal comes to life. You don't learn a lot about Selene or her soulmate, and it feels like there's still so much to go, with so many unanswered questions. It was hard to connect to Selene as a result.
Overall, the story was too short for anything substantial to happen. It feels like a partial story, with the beginnings of an epic story, but I'm not sure if that's the point of this series in the end. If it's only for the souls to meet, then yes, it's done. They meet and mate, but it's quick and sensual. There's not a lot of explanation as to why all this is happening, and no world building. It's well-written, with few grammar mistakes, but I wish therr had been less of the office, and more description of the world Selene is about to enter.
