Dream Family: Dreams, Book 4

Volume 4

De: J. J. DiBenedetto

Narrado por: Victoria Robinson

Dr. Sara Alderson didn’t think she had a problem in the world, when she walked into the office for her first day as a partner in her own medical practice. And then the police showed up and arrested her for a crime she couldn’t possibly have committed.

Twenty four hours later, after a horrifying day and night in jail, Sara comes home a different - and completely broken - woman.

Clearing her name is her first challenge, but that’s nothing compared to the task of rebuilding her shattered psyche. And the only way she can do that is with the help of the supernatural dreams, the same dreams that have nearly cost Sara her sanity - and almost got her killed - in the past.

Dream Family is the third book of the Dream Doctor Mysteries.

An interesting story about a gifted doctor

Dream Family is the fourth book in the Dream Doctor series. These books are a bit different as much of the story takes place within the main character’s mind and in her dreams. The book takes a while to get moving, but once it gets going, it is very interesting. There were, however, many times in this book when her actions and thoughts made me wonder if someone was slipping her drugs as her actions didn’t fit with someone smart enough to be a doctor, and she seemed to be living in a fog. She didn’t have the courage and spunk she showed in her previous books. I can’t say how I would behave in a similar situation though, as I have never been in one. Over the course of reading/ listening to the books, I have become rather attached to the characters, and I am looking forward to reading or listening to more books in the series.

The narrator of the audiobooks is pretty good, but she talks a bit slow. I found increasing the speed slightly on the narration improved my experience.

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Dramatic

If you could sum up Dream Family: Dreams, Book 4 in three words, what would they be?

Drama Stunning Awesome

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sara like always

Have you listened to any of Victoria Robinson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no but she does a really good job coming into book four

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the whole thing I was on the edge of my seat during this book

Any additional comments?

Dream Family brings out a new side to Sara after she is locked up for something she didn't do. It made me very emotional reading it.

Not quite the same

What three words best describe Victoria Robinson’s voice?

I think she did a good job but for those that just listen to the first three books it's quite an adjustment

Any additional comments?

this is book 4 in the series, and they do need to be read in order for better understanding. In this installment we follow them raising their three children and also a new struggle as soon as the new doctors office opens. we follow them on that struggled for most of the book it almost seemed overdone with all the flashbacks and trauma that was left. the end takes on a completely different note, one that you somewhat saw coming but then forgot about because it was never mentioned again. I listened to this book on audible and was surprised that he switched narrators. I had gotten used to hearing them as the other person and struggled with that transition especially how her mother sounded.

New Narrator

What disappointed you about Dream Family: Dreams, Book 4?

I am having a hard time getting past the different voice, she sounds like she should be reading children's books.

Has Dream Family: Dreams, Book 4 turned you off from other books in this genre?

As long as Heather Jane Hogan is the narrator, I will purchase the other books, if it's Victoria Robinson.. nope..

How could the performance have been better?

Stayed with the Heather Jane Hogan.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.. I feel like she's reading for a first grade class..
