3 Stars from me.

Addie Foster is dreaming of a mysterious man, and they are not pleasant dreams at all. One morning after another one of these nightmares, she discovers a body in the garage of the house next door. Jonah Wolfe is the detective on the case, and it soon turns out that Addie is a target.

This is an interesting story, with a very abrupt ending, and you will have to read the following books if you want to know how the story continues. I am not a fan of sudden cliff-hanger endings, so I didn’t appreciate this at all. I will probably read the next installments, because the story was quite interesting and gripping, and now I really want to know what is going on.

This story is really just the start of a bigger story. It introduces the characters, and we can see some of the interaction between them, but there really wasn’t enough time to develop it much. And this first little taster just created more questions than answers.

It was over so fast that I didn’t really get a solid impression of the characters. Addie’s world seems a bit small, with her book store and her one best friend. And the entire story is written from her point of view, so we never get a glimpse into what makes detective Wolfe tick.

Only start this book if you intend to read the others as well, otherwise it will leave you wanting.

I received an advanced copy of the book from Netgalley to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Was I hooked by this book? Yes, but it left more questions than answers.
