Annabelle Reynolds has everything she’s ever wanted. A devoted husband, two wonderful daughters, and a career she loves. She couldn’t be happier. So why is she suddenly plagued by disturbing dreams of a future where she hates her husband and her daughters’ lives are at risk? At first, she chalks the dreams up to an overactive imagination. But when details from her dreams, details she couldn’t possibly have predicted, begin to materialize, she realizes these aren’t just dreams but rather premonitions of a terrifying future. They all point to a singular choice, an unknown moment that holds Annabelle’s life in the balance.

Then Annabelle has a dream that her daughter Scarlett is in immediate danger. Someone wants Scarlett dead, and Annabelle has no idea who or why. Suddenly, every choice she makes is fraught with peril, with no inkling of which move could bring this terrifying vision to life. As Annabelle’s present life starts to collide with the future in her dreams, she wrestles with how much control she really has over her destiny and whether she can change what is meant to be.

Premised on psychic dreams

I listen to mysteries so I am always willing to suspend some realities to enjoy a good story. But this novel is entirely premised on one woman’s psychic dreams - one to three new ones in each chapter. Combine that with a some choppy narration and I wish I hadn’t spent a credit on this.

Enjoyed the twists and turns

I enjoyed this book although it took me awhile to get through. I was suspicious but then I didn’t expect what it really happened (without giving it away).

Hated the ending….it seemed really unrealistic to me.

Good twists

I like the way the story weave across different people and time periods. The ending is very interesting, but I won’t give it away!

The love between an octopus and a perdon

I found it to be a feel good book but not very exciting, so it got boring at times.

Story

Great story enhanced by the wonderful narrators. My mind was working the whole time. Recommend.
