Como una de las principales terapeutas del sueño en el paÃs, Sophie se especializa en los terrores nocturnos que sufre su hijo de diez años, Michael. Pero también es una experta en otro tipo de terror, el tipo que puede convertir un sueño de la vida en una pesadilla en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Alguien está mirando. Es una figura en las sombras que viene de sus miedos más oscuros y que no se ha olvidado de ella. En un momento impactante y violento, habÃa roto para siempre el mundo de SofÃa y la dejó con una sola cosa para vivir: su hijo. Pero la pesadilla no ha terminado para Sophie Dunston. Es solo el principio... Killer Dreams grabs you from the first few pages and you can’t let go of the story of a woman who is trying to prevent a dangerous substance from being released while keeping her son safe. Full of action and heart Iris Johansen provides proof of what a person will go through in order to help/take accountability for her past. I picked up the paperback version from the library because I like scary stories and the cover and blurb on the back seemed to promise that. (A woman and child running through what looks like a forest in the dark, and the font of the book title almost looking like it was written in blood, only black in color.) The prologue DID grab me. An event that I promise you won't see coming knocked the socks off me and I thought a great story was in store. Instead, the story didn't seem to match the cover and blurb on the back. The plot itself was pretty good, but the heroine got on my nerves. She and her child are in danger and lots of folks are risking their lives to save them and instead of appreciation, the heroine is utterly defiant through most of the book. It left me feeling as though they ought to just drop her off on the nearest street corner and leave her to fend for herself. Also, I didn't see anything on the cover or back to suggest that this was a romantic suspense story, and I don't like those at all. Granted, this wasn't at bad as the "her heaving bosom, his throbbing..." types, but as the outside of the book gave no hint of it coming, I was sad to see it in the story. The evil plot was pretty good; if this book was written without the romance or without such a hateful heroine, it would be MUCH better. Sophie is a sleep therapist, specialising in the night terrors that her 10 year old son, Michael, suffers from. Fresh out of college she invents a new drug called REM-4 to help insomniacs. Sophie's coworker, Sanborne, discovers a distinct usage of this medication. It is able to modify patient's behaviour in a way to generate an army of obedient and dutiful, zombie-like top notch killers. Sophie with the help of Matt Royd have to bring an end to Sanborne's plans. I found this to be a predictable read. Good for sitting at the beach on a hot summers day. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Countdown returns with a knock-out suspense thriller that pits a mother and son against a killer who's the stuff of nightmares. If you close your eyes, he’ll get you. Sophie Dunston knows all too well how dreams can kill. As one of the nation’s top sleep therapists, she specializes in the life-threatening night terrors that her ten-year-old son, Michael, suffers from. But she is also an expert in another kind of terror–the kind that can turn a dream life into a living nightmare in the blink of an eye. Someone is watching. He’s a shadowy figure from out of her darkest fears and he hasn’t forgotten her. In one shocking moment of violence, he’d shattered Sophie’s world forever and left her with only one thing to live for: her son. But the nightmare isn’t over for Sophie Dunston. It’s just begun. He’s been waiting. Sophie was supposed to die the first time around, but fate intervened. This time he’ll make sure that not even a miracle will save her. It wasn’t a miracle that saved Jock Gavin, but it was pretty close. A semiretired hit man, commando, and jack-of-all-deadly-trades, he knows what Sophie is up against–and that she’ll need help. But the man he’s chosen for the job is as unpredictable as he is dangerous. Matt Royd is a wild card–hard, cool, merciless–and 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 he’s on the hunt again. Because the nightmare he’s got planned for Sophie won’t end when she wakes up screaming. It won’t end. Ever. No library descriptions found. |
