Audio: I enjoyed the writing and the narration of this book very much. I think the plot was a little out there and not in a way that makes you want to believe it and know more. More like the way that you're like "oh puleeze" and that takes you out of the story a bit and hard to care about the characters. That may not make sense, but if you read it, hopefully you'll understand. Not bad by any means, but not great either.

Have you ever woken up by a dream that is so scary, that you have to catch your breath, and check surroundings to check if you are in reality?

Celeste Fortune is a Bartender in this small town, and is in therapy with Larry, to improve her life by discussing her dreams. Many of the other neighbors also go to Larry to discuss their dreams as well. Larry seems to have a nice size clientele. Usually, nothing goes wrong in this small town, but Celeste finds Larry dead. Also gone is his computer, with all his client's information on it. Who could want Larry dead? Why would anyone want Larry dead?

There suddenly is a danger and another dead body. There seem to be some questionable characters. There are a mystical feel and magical essence in this story. At times it is difficult to tell reality from fantasy. I would recommend this novel for those readers who enjoy an unusual mystery. show less
