Publisher's summary

Kristin Burns is making her way in New York City. Her photos are being considered at a major Manhattan gallery, she works by day with two wonderful children, and the man of her dreams is almost hers for keeps. But just as everything she's ever wanted is finally within reach, her life changes forever with one murderous nightmare.

Kristin wakes up every morning from the same chilling, unforgettable dream. And suddenly, it's visiting her during the day too. As her life turns stranger by the minute, Kristin is haunted and terrified. Is it all in her head? Or is the nightmare becoming her life? Kristin searches desperately for what's real through the lens of her camera, only knowing two things for sure: that no place is safe and the fate of everyone she loves lies in her hands.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE

I am a big James Patterson fan, reading or listening to all his books. I can not believe he wrote this book. It is so bad. The whole books was so annoying. I could only listen in short spurts then I would switch to another book. The only reason I kept going back was I hoped it would get better.

You've Been Warned (not to buy it)

Not a typical James Patterson. Disappointing and depressing.

Leave it alone! Wait for the next!

I have been hungry for a new James Patterson as Audible does not permit most of his new titles to be sold to customers living in Japan. I bought this one as fast as my fingers could hit the keys. Should have read the reviews! It is depressing and dark! Why did one of my favorite authors permit his name to be put on this? Leave it alone! Not even worthy of one star. Why are we not permitted to give negative ratings?

Don't bother!

Don't waste your time or money on this book. If James Patterson was not already a known author, it would never have found a publisher. Slow, rambling, far-fetched with an ending that says "thank goodness is over". While we've loved Patterson's early books, my husband gave up on this after 3 chapters, I struggled to the end, with the hope that--being Patterson--Surely it would get better. It did not!

A true tale of suspence!

James Patterson has been well known for years as a best-selling author. His works have been number one many times over. The same is true of his latest masterpiece"You've Been Warned!" Patterson's style and intricate attention to detail are what make "You've Been Warned" not only yet another number one hit, but also the ease with which the reader can empathize with main character Kristin Burns. This book has been expertly crafted and shows the many sides of one character in various stages. And in the end, you keep wanting to know more about the character, more than you have already learned throughout this psychological maze of the mind andreal world similarly.

You need to be warned.....

I read the reviews after...wish I would have done it first....main character not very sympathetic, hard to root for her. Narrator reads like a bad actress...not a typical James Patterson book.

Disappointed!

I always look forward to reading a James Patterson book, but I think that the books that he writes all by himself are the best, and I have read or listened to all of his books. This one was a definite disappointment. Frankly, I couldn't wait for it to end. The main character is so unlikeable that you really don't care what happens to her. There wasn't much of a story, either. This is 6 hours of dribble that you should avoid. I'm giving it one star, but it really doesn't deserve that.
