Collect Killer Dreams Crafted By Iris Johansen Volume

off good, well OK I guess, but got worse as it went, The story got very choppy near the end and seemed to be skipping over things when before it had explained more than needed.
Also I feel like this was a squeal as it had many things in the beginning that were written as if you should already know about it they were later explained, sort of, but not very well.
Just seems there was a lot missing with this book, This book was great. Fast paced. . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, Not too many characters to make the story confusing, fun, sexy leads, and romantic scenes that leave a bit to your own imagination.
Wonderful.

I was bit sceptical at first about wasting time with this book based on the poor reviews on Amazon but my gosh, what a turnabout.
I loved this story unlike, unfortunately, Eve Duncan's stories by the same author, I'm always a bit perplexed though at author's rating of police forces in this book Atlanta PDs are the bomb and in some representations, if they know how to tie their shoelaces the public should be blessed.


Anyway, loved the book and looking forward to reading more of Iris, despite negative reviews, Intense book! Loved the characters, I'm giving this book./stars. I haven't read a Iris Johansen books in year, She's a good writer. She knows how to write catchers,

She has pulled me in with that mind blowing prologue, The prologue introduce one word and that word is "What!"

This book is about a dream therapist name Sophie.
She has ayear old son name Michael, He suffers from night terrors, because of something that happendyears earlier, See prologue! Michael wasn't the only one affected by something that happend two years earlier, So was Sophie. The aftermath left her in a psych ward,

The person responsible for the chaos is Sophie's exboss, Sanborne and his partner Boch, Sophie had developed a program, but Sanborne had took it and turned it bad, He wanted to control people,

Sophie wanted to kill him, but she wasn't the only one, Her good friend Jock was willing to kill Sanborne for her, but he wasn't the only man that was willing to kill Sanborne.
The hero, Royd wanted to kill him, because Sanborne was responsible for his torturing, He's responsible for making Royd the person that he is, The bad portion of Royd,

Royd is a good guy, trying to overcome the bad he been through, He's a tortured hero. A humorous hero.

Sophie and Royd has sexual tension,

That's all I am going to say about Sophie and Royd, The man that has caught my attention in the story was Jock, He's dark, a mystery and although he's not the hero in this book, he sexiness showed and Mrs, Johansen didn't even write about him getting with anyone, All he wanted to do was make sure that Sophie and her son was taken care of, He was willing to kill Sanborne for Sophie, He's a loyal person. Trustworthy.

It's something about him that brings him through the mirror, He's a tortured hero as well, I have to find out if he has a book or will be getting a book,

I recommend this fast pace book to anyone that likes to read suspense stories and likes a book where there is humor.

A wild exciting ride with some implausible events as Sophie Dunston tries to protect her son as she regains control of her research on sleep therapy which has been manipulated for evil use.
Actually it is a pretty shallow plotthink of it as a comic book story with several super heroes, The sexual tension adds a dimension that I enjoyed, All in all a fun, light read, Boatloads of language, with most of it taking the Lords name in vain unfortunately, Tbh, I was kinda bored reading this book, It wasnt really thrilling. I'm a huge Iris Johansen fan and always devour her books! This book I found boring and predictable, . . like her heart wasn't into writing it and she was forced to put words down on paper just to satisfy her publisher.
I hope this was just an aberration and not a sign of things to come, Es una novela escrita por Iris Johansen, La protagonista es Sophie Dunston, quien es doctora en medicina y en química que, a raíz de los terrores nocturnos que sufren su padre y su hijo, decide investigar cómo alterar esa fase del sueño que provoca dichos terrores.
Entonces, para ello, comienza a trabajar en la empresa de un poderoso multimillonario, Sanborne, Pero ella pronto descubre que la intención de éste no es ayudar a los que padecen esas pesadillas, sino que tiene un propósito muy oscuro: lograr dominar las mentes a través de la alteración del sueño, y así hacer lo que quiera con esos pacientes, por ejemplo, mandarlos a asesinar a personas.

Entonces ella cuando descubre eso decide retirarse del proyecto, pero ahí es cuando se le empieza a complicar las cosas, poniendo en peligro su vida y la de su hijo.
Además, entra en escena otro protagonista, Matt Royd, quien fue un paciente al que lo quisieron doblegar mediante la alteración del sueño.
Los dos personajes, junto con otros más, intentan parar el proyecto, a la vez que dar caza a Sanborne y sus secuaces.
Es una novela trepidante, con mucha intriga y suspenso, vale la pena leerla, Several years ago, sleep therapist Sophie Dunston developed a program dealing with REM sleep that used suggestion to get rid of bad dreams and insomnia.
Her wealthy, unscrupulous employer now uses this program for the wrong reasons, Sophie wants to kill him and assassin Matt Royd wants to help her,

There was a bit too much clandestine activity for me but I think this writing style is classic Iris Johansen.
There are a number of ties to the Eve Duncan series with Jane, Jock, Joe, and MacDuff, The prologue was great. There's a lot of fast paced action in this thriller from, Good suspense! Prologue hooked me in, Some of the plot didn't hold my interest, I liked the characters, otherwise, I may not have finished the book, Don't. Just don't. Put it down and walk away, It's not worth your time, If we still had cable, Id be able to watch a Lifetime movie instead of reading something like this.
All the authors standalone books are very cheesy and formulaic, but I like to keep one or two around for when I need to shut my brain off.
This was not her best in terms of suspense, and also because the hero is referred to as Royd.
Very, very poor choice: “Oh, Royd!” I did the audio of this book and I will say the reader is great.
But NOT the book. After a knock your socks off prologue it quickly dissolved into predictability and bad dialogue, The protagonist is annoying and naive, with dialogue that begins by parroting everything back to others and asking a lot of ridiculous "why" questions.
. . you know the "why can't I go home" or something like that, when being pursued by professional killers, She reminded me of a whiny kid, "If you close your eyes, hell get you, Sophie Dunston knows all too well how dreams can kill, As one of the nations top sleep therapists, she specializes in the lifethreatening night terrors that her tenyearold son, Michael, suffers from.
But she is also an expert in another kind of terrorthe kind that can turn a dream life into a living nightmare in the blink of an eye.

Someone is watching. Hes a shadowy figure from out of her darkest fears and he hasnt forgotten her, In one shocking moment of violence, hed shattered Sophies world forever and left her with only one thing to live for: her son.
But the nightmare isnt over for Sophie Dunston, Its just begun. Hes been waiting. Sophie was supposed to die the first time around, but fate intervened, This time hell make sure that not even a miracle will save her,
It wasnt a miracle that saved Jock Gavin, but it was pretty close, A semiretired hit man, commando, and jackofalldeadlytrades, he knows what Sophie is up againstand that shell need help, But the man hes chosen for the job is as unpredictable as he is dangerous, Matt Royd is a wild cardhard, cool, mercilessand putting him into play changes the game completely, But to whose advantage
Sophie will soon find out, She will have to trust Royd because she has no choices left, Because the bogeyman haunting her dreams is all too real and hes on the hunt again, Because the nightmare hes got planned for Sophie wont end when she wakes up screaming, It wont end. Ever. "

Another thriller that barely stopped from the first page until the end, I have noticed that Johansen needs to find better descriptors, "S/he moistened his/her lips" appears WAY too oftento the point of distraction, He chewed his lip, she licked her lip, he rubbed his lips together, I could go on and on, It's one thing if it's a character quirk, but it's not particular to any one character, Maybe it's a throwback from her romance novels, The details were hard to follow, The story starts with an interesting prologue but by chapteror three I began to feel something like this.
. . I started skimming and more skimming .

The plot is a somewhat unbelievable, . I lost most of the plot before I got halfway!!!
But the most irritating thing about this book, was the heroine!!! Everyone around her is trying to help her and her son from some really bad bad guys.
. and all she does is whine, moan, and is beyond totally ungrateful! She drove me absolutely crazy!!!!

She's suppose to be this smart scientist but hell, she behaves more like a "banshee"!! In fact, I wanted to advise the hero to wring her neck and get on with his program!!!

Though we meet up with some of the characters from the Eve Duncan Series.
Joe Quinn, Jane Maguire and others, it's not really part of the series and can be read as a standalone.
though I cannot in all honesty recommend this book, . . if you don't read it, . . you won't miss out on anything exciting, "Killer Dreams" by Iris Johansen, . . You know what Screw it, I'm going to review this book like one of her men would review it,

This book was crap, I wanted to throw it in the garbage, I could do it, too, It would be easy. Maybe that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's the truth, I'm selfish, after all. Get used to it.

You don't want to read this book, You may say you do, but I know better, I can't help it I'm a reader who appreciates quality literature, What did you expect

Look, I can handle most books, I've lived my whole life reading books, I'm an expert at reading books, But Iris Johansen's books they're different. They make me feel things, Things I thought I wasn't capable of feeling, Disgust. Selfrighteousness. I thought I could never learn how to hate a book, But grimace These books make me feel vulnerable, I don't like it.

Don't walk away from me, You're a smart reader. You must have known what you were getting into when you started to read this review,

You don't know Iris Johansen's books like I do, You can't imagine how many times one author can cram "stiffened" or "lips twisted" into a single book, I know you're one tough cookie, but you'd just get in my way, Don't like it Tough. I'm not like your ex, I'm not sweet or civilized, Are you afraid You should be,

Wasn't that the best review you've ever read I need to know, I won't shut up until you say it was, And I won't stop until I know I've dissuaded you from reading this book,

I'm a reader, I can't help it. I enjoyed this book

Though there was certain formula parts of the book i, e the women in trouble, or needed to help and being forced to work/request help from a tough,
exseal and authorative guy and though at first they do not get along and resent each other they can't help but fall in love and want to be together

The idea of mind control and thus humans being used against their wills as weapons is a fascinating idea and so it made a good story

So the story is Sophie Duntston produces a medication that can be given to induce deeper sleep and nice dreams and get rid of night terrors and other sleeping issues, this is done by suggestions made during sleep.


What she finds out is that the company she works for are using this to make people commit murder and other acts unknowingly /unwillingly.


This is the fight between the big company who will stop at nothing and sell this as weapons to foreign arms dealers and the scientist and ex victims to see who will win

This is one of Iris Johansens' better books and worth a read

The sex does not get in the way and in this one is a side issue and not like in others where it takes over the plot

That's the second Iris Johansen book I read the other was an Eve Duncan novel and I think this might be my last.
This book is graphic and rough, I almost marked it astar because of how graphic it is, But Johansen always keeps you on the edge of your seat, Many of the characters can be found in her other books, but I do not believe her books to be a series.


This one is about the doctor

who developed the drug used to brainwash the assassins, And the destruction of the men who financed and controlled the drug, Hmm guess was a spoiler. Sorry. But I did not tell anything about how Dr, Sophia stays alive. So, you need to read the book, :.
