I was excited to have the opportunity to obtain an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book on NetGalley.

Helena spent ten hard years trying to survive prison, serving time for a murder she didn’t commit. Release feels like salvation until she realizes that the world still sees her as a killer, and plenty of people want her dead. But when Thomas looks at her, he doesn’t see a guilty-as-sin felon. She brings brightness and color to his dark and dreary existence. Together they heal each other’s emotional and physical scars.

While Roads puts her characters through a grueling gauntlet of suffering on their road to their happy ever after, she makes the reader care about her story people. Her heroines and heroes have tragic and painful backstories, but instead of wallowing in misery, they come out fighting for the life and love they deserve. From the opening of chapter one, in which Helena battles for her life on the last night of her sentence, I was invested in seeing how the story would unfold. Roads’ writing provides a visceral experience for the reader, creating a page turner tale.

Each book in the Fatal Dreams series is linked to a fable about a mystical warrior woman and her protector mate. Roads makes each couple’s story unique and special, and delivers a fast-paced romantic thrill ride.

Thomas doesn't mind going to the extremes to help his woman, "he put the key in his pants pocket, then met her gaze. “You’re not going to run away from this.” Each of his words was a blow to her defenses. “We’re going to stay in here until you deal with…” He paused as if he couldn’t find the word he wanted. “Everything.” Compassion warred with terrible determination on his face." Thomas isn't one to be interrupted when with his woman, “let me get rid of whoever is out there. Then we need to finish this conversation.” Thomas climbed out of bed and slid on his pants. Bing bong bung. “I’m coming!” He yelled loud enough to be heard a mile away." I liked this book, I liked Thomas.

Wow, this hot thriller lives up to the cover. I enjoyed the unusual plot point of having the heroine be wrongfully imprisoned. Thomas and Helena were great characters.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

What brought me into the book was the cover, the title, intriguing, the story kept me enthralled. The story of Helena Grayse and Thomas Brown was full of discovery of themselves and that love and healing that goes along with it. While their touch and healing was not our normal touches it brought color and acceptance to them. A special book and series from Abbie Roads and is one you remember.

**3.5 Stars**

Thomas and Helena are two broken souls coming together in this romantic thriller. Helena is in a prison for murder she didn’t commit, and Thomas is in a mind prison. When Helena is released from prison she meets Thomas from a distance and their connection is instantaneous. They meet one night for the first time when he saves her from her nightmares. From that point forward she tries to run, and Thomas tries to keep her. There is danger lurking in the background and they do not see it coming until one of them gets hurt and the other must save them. Will they realize their connection to one another before it’s too late?

A story of myths and soulmates that will have you confuse the first few chapters until the story finds it’s grove in the middle. Their first two chapters introduce you to Helena and Thomas, but to me it was a little hard to follow along after that. Helena is in a place where she feels like she doesn’t deserve happiness and Thomas fights everyday to see color again. I understood that, and the character background is wonderful, but the myth and fantasy aspect was a little to hard for me to understand in the beginning. The book didn’t pick up momentum for me until 60% or 70% where most of the action took place and then things started to fall into place for me. I do love the plot and dark themes, with a soulmate twist. Helena and Thomas do have some intense chemistry and their attraction can get heated when you least expect it to. This a good story but fell just a little flat because I got confused a few times. This is just my opinion and I liked it not love so much.

Wow what a story! Never Let Me Fall will take you through the ringer with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It is the third book in the Fatal Dreams series however you can easily read it without reading the previous books however the other books are so good and I recommend them as well. This is the story of Helena Grayse or Helen as we know her in the story. She has been in prison for 10 years. Convicted of murdering her boyfriend when she was 18 even though she claimed innocence. She stopped talking when she entered prison and now 10 years later she has been released but remains silent to the outside world. Thomas Brown is an outside consultant for the police department. He was abused as a child and has lost his ability to see color. He moves through life but isn't living. What neither of them realize is that their lives will intersect and what happens will answer all the questions that each have if only they have the strength to trust each other and support each other to achieve the answers that they both need. Thomas's sister Evanee is briefly mentioned. Her story was in Hunt the Dawn (Fatal Dreams #2). Never Let Me Fall is beautifully written, haunting in it's memories for our hero and heroines pasts and will keep you riveted until the end. It's written from dual POV and I cannot recommend it enough to fans of paranormal psychological thriller romance!

If your looking for a Paranormal Suspense book that totally unique this is the book for you. I have to admit I was not a Thomas fan. In the early books he was kind if a jerk but after finding out about his childhood I can understand why. I love the recurring reincarnation theme in all the books. You can't help but root for Thomas and Helena they've been through so much. They deserve a HEA. Abbie Roads is on my auto buy list because I know its gonna be a five star read that is unlike anything you've read before! Keep them coming!!

Amazing read! Had me from page one. A must read for any romance fan. Highly recommend this book. Such feels!!!

I don't know where the author gets the ideas for her books, but wow, this was so good. I like how the story tied in with the previous books and I loved how the characters are able to heal each other after all that they've been through. I was so into this one that I hated having to put it down for real life stuff lol. I definitely look forward to reading more by this author. I recommend Never Let Me Fall to fans of dark romance with paranormal twists.

Abbie Roads continues to amaze me with her action packed suspenseful romances. She grabs the reader from the very first page ,by placing you right next to the heroine, Helena Grayse, as she fights for her life. The reader is quickly introduced to the hero, Thomas Brown, as he investigates a murder scene. The chemistry between these characters just leaps from the pages, along with their psychic abilities. The element of combining past tragedies with a mind reaching psychic ability truly enhances the story’s suspenseful impact.
The only part of the story I didn’t like was that it ended! I enjoyed being able to connect again with characters from one of Ms Roads’ previous novels. I will be eagerly awaiting the next novel, positive it will manage to leave this great work in the dust! Thank you Ms Roads for your in-depth character development and the ability to make the unlikely possible.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is Book 3 in the Fatal Dreams series. This was the first book that I’ve read by this author. You can read this as a stand-alone, but it would make more sense if you read the first two books. It’s based around a story that Helena’s grandfather told her about the lives of Fearless and Bear but she’s not sure if it’s a true story or not. The story starts with Helena in prison and she’s going to be released the next day, that is if she can make it out alive. I’m not sure if the story of why she’s in prison starts in the first books or not but the part where’s she’s in prison didn’t make a lot of sense. But it doesn’t take that much away from the story. Thomas was severely hurt as a child and now can’t see color. He’s also able to find things out by touching dead bodies. He sees Helena at the cemetery where they are getting ready to bury his mother. The events after that will keep you gripping the edge of your seat. You may even want to make sure someone is in the house with you, so you won’t be along. I really enjoyed reading this book and if you like mysterious spooky things, you need this book. Now I’m off to read the first 2 books. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book from Netgalley.

rah-rah-sis-boom-bah

First, I have to say that book cover is perfect. Black and white with a burst of color between Thomas and Helena. You won't have to invest much time into the book to discover how accurate the cover is.

touch

In the Fatal Dreams novels you learn how important touch is. Thomas and Helena discover their destiny and love for one another. But the most important part of their unique love is all in the touch. Touch heals. Touch protects.

I felt a connection with Thomas and Helena which made the love scenes beautiful and vivid.

Now don't settle yourself down and expect to read about soft bunnies and pretty rainbows. Abbie shows us two sides of a coin. The shiny, bright side and the tarnished, damaged side. It's a dark, paranormal romance with lots of suspense and a sadistic, creepy bad guy.

Final note, Thomas's paranormal ability to read and see shadows of death was awesome! I just love Abbie's creativeness and wonderful storytelling.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

I really like Abbie Roads, but this book fell short for me. I think the main issue was how fast it moved with the sexual stuff. I typically like to have more time to feel connected to the characters, feel out the couple a bit more, before I start seeing things get heated. In this case, the woman is injured, mute, and living in a tent in the guy's backyard, and he acts like this is all normal. No biggie, let's have sex! It was just weird. Didn't feel natural, and I couldn't really understand their relationship after that. It was a bit too odd for me - I got the feeling that it was supposed to be a soul mate type of thing, but it didn't come across that way effectively.

The substance of this book was both terrifying and magical. My heart raced during a few scenes in this book and I underwent the gamut of emotions. Fear, sadness, disgust and anger to pure bliss, excitement and a feeling of relief . This book was dark at times, but it was balanced with hope, love and a touch of magic. I love the connection between Thomas and Helena. Their love was strong enough to overcome the darkness. Their soul's were meant to be together.

This book literally made my stomach shake and curdle with horror! That how good this author is at storytelling. Abbie Roads has written an absolutely fabulous thriller/romance. It has mystery and psychological aspects that are mind blowing. Just when I thought I had things figured out Abbie threw me a curveball. This book keeps you interested and guessing for nearly the entire book. It’s perfect! You are totally invested. The story of Fearless and Bear, a folktale, is one I love and the way the stories Abbie writes are tied together with this story makes it even better. The love between Helena and Tommy is epic and the thing we all search a lifetime for and so well written we feel it deep down. Hopefully you feel from this review how deeply I enjoyed this book. Do yourself a favor and read this and ALL of Abbie Roads’ books.

There was a bit of a wait between this book and the last one that I read in the series, almost two years. I had to refresh my mind, once I did then the story flowed smoothly.
All the pain that both Helen and Thomas had to endure would have ruined most. But together they overcome quite a bit.

Never let Me Fall is the third book in the Fatal Dreams series. It features Thomas Brown, who uses his special powers to work with criminal investigators to solve crimes. Helena Grayse and Thomas are thrown together but little do they know that a serial killer is closer than they would like. If you haven't read this series I highly suggest you start from the beginning.

Abbie Roads writes another winner! She is fast becoming the type of author where you see her name and buy her book, because you know it'll be good!

Thomas Brown suffered greatly at the hands of his stepfather, who abused him. He wore the abuse on his face from the damage caused when he was a little boy. To try to shield himself, he kept the abuse to himself. An injury left not just a scar and loss of seeing colors, but an ability to see the shadow of death. An ability that as an adult, he used in law enforcement to help solve crimes.

Helena Grayse was serving time for murder of her boyfriend, Rory Elis. She also has suffered from abuse at the hands of women inmates, who refer to themselves as The Sisters. Despite many attempts on her life, Helena has survived. When she is released, Helena decides to pay respects to Rory Ellis and her grandparents. Nostalgia pulls her back to her grandparents' home where happy memories reside.

A chance encounter between Thomas and Helena leaves them both feeling a deep connection. Helena is too aware of how people view her and plans to leave Sundew, Ohio. When Thomas discovers Helena camping on his property, he'll move heaven and earth to get Helena to stay with him.

If you enjoy paranormal romantic thrillers, then you'll love Never Let Me Fall. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley via Sourcebooks Casablanca and have provided an honest review.

I’ve never read a storyline quite like this. It was suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to find out what would happen next.

Sometimes the transitions between scenes were choppy and a little confusing but if you push past those, this is an intriguing and edgy read.
