Publisher's Summary

Between adjusting to life as a newlywed and trying to survive the first month of medical school, Sara Alderson has a lot on her plate. She definitely doesn’t need to start visiting other people’s dreams again. 

Unfortunately for her, it’s happening anyway.   

Every night, she sees a different person and a different dream. But every dreamer has one thing in common: they all hate Dr. Morris, the least popular professor in the medical school, and they’re all dreaming about seeing him - or making him - dead.   

Once again, Sara finds herself in the role of unwilling witness to a murder before it happens. But this time, there are too many suspects to count, and it doesn’t help matters that she hates Dr. Morris every bit as much as any of his would-be murderers do.

Dream Doctor is the first audiobook in the Dream Doctor Mysteries.

okay

This was a little bit better than the first book. It was much better once I sped up the narrator's voice. I don't think I will get the next one.

Dream Walker

Once I sped up the narrator's speed, I loved her performance. The story flowed and Sarah and Brian are perfectly matched. Sarah was able to solve the mystery while making new friends, showing her compassionate nature, and work with her newly married husband. The story was creative and had me constantly guessing , wrongly so about who did it. I was thoroughly entertained and constantly laughing out loud. I recommend this book and appreciate the author giving me a complimentary copy. I will definitely purchase the next book. Excellent 👍

Story is fasinating

I really enjoyed this book, but we always knew when Sara was in a dream. The monologue proceeding it warned us, "Sara is . . . ." The reader really gave it a dire tone, like something bad was going to happen. The plot is well written and with a very exciting ending. The characters are wonderful and engaging, but some emotional aspects I think took away from the story and away from the plot.

Squee!

I hate how long winded this can be sometimes! But I love the series anyways! It's so cute and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

I Love The Dream Series! Dreamy!

If you could sum up Dream Doctor in three words, what would they be?

I would sum up Dream Doctor in three words: exciting, suspenceful, and enjoyable.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the entire story. It has a perfect continuation from Dream Student, the first book in the series. It has great flow and a very good storyline. What I liked best was that Sara knows whose dreams she is seeing and is able to help the people in her dreams. I like the way she is able to help Margaret, her friend Janet's mother and also Dr. Morris who isn't anyone's favorite doctor but still...

Have you listened to any of Heather Jane Hogan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The only other of Heather Jane Hogan’s performances I've listened to were from this series but I love her in this. She has a delightful, soft voice with perfect flow.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Any additional comments?

I really enjoy this series. It's cleverly written and wonderfully narrated. I received this audiobook free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review.

The narrator, Heather Hogan made this book pop.

Ok overall, this book might be even better than book one in the series. Which, as most readers knows, is really not the norm. However, I can see how the author is growing, the story line is better plotted. The pacing is extremely well done. The characters keeps growing in this book and the world building is very well done.

The performance of Heather Hogan really added so much to this story. Especially the scene changes from the waking to the dream world is done with a clear and non negotiable twist.

The world building of a woman in medical school is brilliant. No glossing over, no hours and hours of free time to do as she wishes, no instead this woman hardly has time to turn around twice without regretting the wasted seconds. I loved the reality that was brought in by the author in the setting of the plot. It felt real, it felt authentic which naturally translated toward the suspense in the story making it even more chilling.

A great read/listen for lovers of this genre.

Very Interesting

This is a new subject for a story that I have read or listened to. It was very interesting how Sara Alderson is adjusting to life as a newlywed and trying to survive the first month of medical school and at the same time is visiting other people’s dreams. I think this makes her empathize with people and will make her a good doctor.

Jenny’s review

I really like the mystery this book has about it. Can you imagine seeing other people’s dreams? That’d be hard not to accidentally say something that they should only know.
Sara Barns now Sara Alderson as she she is married to Brian now and also a medical student. Brian who knows about her dream status and her one good friend Beth are there for her. When Sara starts having dreams about an unpopular doctor named Mr. Morris she knows something wrong is going to happen to him. So she starts observing Dr Morris during class and the people who are closest to him. Things start unfolding around Sara as she is going to school and being newly married and trying to figure out who’s trying to kill Dr Morris? Will she and Brian figure things out in time to save them all?

There’s some language as a heads up.
The narrator does a great job!

Great Continuation of the storyline

Who was the most memorable character of Dream Doctor and why?

Sara is always the best character. Watching her grow over time while dealing with her gifts is a rewarding journey.

Any additional comments?

 Dream Doctor by J.J. DiBenedetto and Narrated by Heather Jane Hogan is the 2nd book in the Dream Series.

Once again Sara Barnes is back, having graduated from college and starting a new adventure: medical school. Her dreams have been her own for some time now; after her last adventure in "Dream Student".  Now as Sara is living in close quarters with people again the dreams return. Some telling, some reveling, and some murderous.

As Sara trys to keep others dreams a secret, she finds a parallel to keeping secrets as a future doctor. How many secrets can Sara keep this time. Will her life be threatened once again because of what she dreams. 

New characters are introduced into Sara's life and the stress of medical school as well as her dreams start to affect every aspect of her life. 

Medical School is a full endeavor all by itself, add Sara's dreams, her friends troubled lives, and the possibility of murder; Sara must balance her Life, Love, and insatiable curiosity all while passing medical school and staying alive.

Dream Doctor is another great Listen, and the good news there are more. Look for my upcpming review of Dream Child and Dream Family.

I enjoy Heather Jane Hogans continued narration of this series. "Dream Doctor" as well as the entire Dream Series is an Excelent read or in my case listen.

Book 2

Would you consider the audio edition of Dream Doctor to be better than the print version?

Very interesting audio book about a girl going through med school, starting a new life with a new husband and she starts having dreams about those around her. Kept my interest all throughout the book

Dream doctor two

I had no problems with the book, I actually liked it. However, the narrator put me off, she sound robotic and slow when narrating the story.
