Mike Nappa

This book doesn't necessarily advise you on how to get through grief, but it does help, at least for me. Mike Nappa goes into great detail to tell the story of losing his wife. I found myself sobbing when he described the hardest moments because I knew almost exactly what he was going through. I remember being in those dark moments where my loved one was no longer conscious, but still hanging on and how much I wanted to hear their voice or see their smile for just one more time. This book isn't a guide, but it's like a friend who is going through what you're going through. Someone to cry with and to relate to.

When I first got this in the mail, I looked at the spine and freaked out a bit when I saw the large number 3 printed at the top. I have not read the first two books and was worried about understanding what was happening. There was no reason for me to worry at all. This book is a great standalone.
So, I liked this one a lot. It was difficult to put down and the mystery wrapped up well without loose ends. The book was not too complicated and it was easy enough to follow -- except for the perspective of Dream. Dream is suffering from PTSD and his chapters show his confusion and memory situations quite well. It never made perfect sense, but I don't believe that it was meant to.
Trudi was a good character to get to know. She had a never-give-up attitude that served her well.
The ending was different. I am wondering why it happened the way it did, as there was no reasons explained.
If you are looking for a suspense that will keep you on your toes, A Dream Within a Dream will certainly keep you happy.
