Book Review: Dead Dreams

DeadDreams_Kindle72

Dead Dreams first introduces us to Brie O’Mara who is 18 and living on her own and in search of a roommate.  Her parents aren’t sure this is the greatest idea, but go along with it.  Enter Sarah – who Brie thinks is the perfect roommate.  She is heir to a huge fortune and seems normal enough.  Should she have done a background check? Maybe.  Brie wants to be an actress and move to New York City but for now she is working 2 jobs.  Sarah gives her an offer that is a) too good to be true and b) that she can’t refuse.

However, as soon as Sarah enters the picture things start getting out of hand. There is a break in in their apartment, so they get an alarm system.  Sarah’s brother and Uncle are after her and her fortune which she can only get if she doesn’t get in trouble with the law – or worse yet – end up dead.

The two get Sarah’s plan underway – where there is switching of identities, lots of money switching hands and all sorts of other crazy stuff going on.  And then when they are set to put everything in to play, Brie’s Dad ends up in a coma in the hospital and she is torn between continuing through with this plan with her now “best friend”, Sarah, or staying behind for her family.  She also seems to think that her brother Keith is somehow in on this all and knows Sarah.  And then when they are ready to leave – Sarah is MIA and there is a lot of blood in Brie’s bedroom – where Sarah is sleeping.

I wish I knew more of what was going on – this is only Book 1 and I felt it ended with no closure whatsoever on the subplots and left me still confused.  Hopefully this will all be tied up and explained in future books.

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.
