Story
Think your dreams are private? Think again. As a dreamwalker, I make my living by exploring your subconscious mind—soothing your night terrors, inspiring new ideas, or unearthing hidden memories. Luckily, it’s a well-paying gig; I need the cash to cover my mom’s growing medical bills, and I’m running out of time to save her. Enter Valerian, an uber-handsome illusionist who somehow knows just what to say to make me melt. More importantly, he offers me a job that comes with a paycheck big enough to solve all my problems.

People say I'm a weirdo. Sure, my idea of a party is a mini box of wine and hanging out with a feral raccoon, but it works for me. When I’m accused of murder, things get crazy. One, I learn that I have magic. Two, there’s a secret magical city hidden right in London itself. And three, my only hope is a vampire who’s sexy as sin and scary as the devil himself. He's called the Devil of Darkvale, and he all but owns Guild City. Some say I should just quit and turn myself in. Not a chance. I’m going to solve this murder myself.

There’s only one rule in the world I come from. Keep our existence a secret. Period. The day my sister broke that rule one too many times, I knew there would be consequences. I expected us to be sent to one of those schools for “troubled” kids - and maybe Daizlei Academy was, in a way. But really, it was far more complicated than that. You see, I thought that world had forgotten me. Forgotten us. For years we were left alone, and one day...we weren’t. It was only when I got there that I remembered the second rule: Trust no one.

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort.

good story. Ok writing. terrible performance.
The story was different enough to be entertaining and keep me listening. Not the best writing in the world, but far from the worst. Kept repeating descriptions of "the quiet". Also, could have done more showing, less telling.
The performance was pretty bad. The speaker reads in short, five to ten-word bursts. It's like listening to someone sing The Twelve Days Of Christmas while they're having an asthma attack. He did do different voices for different characters, which is to his credit. But the delivery made it hard to listen to. If the story hadn't been so interesting, I certainly wouldn't have made it through the first book.

Phenomenal books. The characters are well conceived and likable. My only problem is they are way too short! I still love them though. The short story in the middle was a little painful to listen to. The woman's voice didn't fit at all.

Loved the story - not so much the narration
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Overall yes. The story was really, really good. I'm glad I purchased it, I just don't think I could stand to listen to it again.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The way he talked was just so frikkin' irritating - spewing out a few words, stopping, a few more words. I just wanted him to get on with it for God's sake.
Any additional comments?
I really hate to rag on the narrator as I know it's not something I could do very well, but by the end of the 3rd book I was really, really ready for it to end. I loved the story, I loved the characters, I loved the action and everything else. The mind dimension in general to me is fascinating. But when it's all delivered in 6 or 7 word bursts its just a bit much.

Could have skipped 0, & 1
I thought the creativity in this book was terrific, Darren, the main character learns about himself and will continue to learn more about his powers throughout the series.
I was torn by the creativity of the writing, the slow start up to the story (wishing I had started on book 2) and Mr. Roberto Scarlato's reading. His voice just didn't grab me as someone like Darren's character. He definitely put empathy into telling the story but for me lacked the passion, the "pow" impact, when listening to a struggle or scene with an explosion, or gun shots. I never felt the terror or concern in his tone.

You will believe the unbelievable with this amaxibg sci fi story
I have finished listening to the audiobook of the Mind Dimensions books 0, 1 & 2 written by Dima Zales and narrated by Roberto Scarlato and Laura Jennings. This audio book is made up of the first three books in the Time Dimensions series. The Thought Readers (#) The Time Stopper (#0.5) and The Thought Pushers (#2)
The Thought Readers (#1) & The Thought Pushers (#2) are told from Darren's pov, he learns that he has the ability to freeze time, he calls this 'the quiet ' while everyone around him is frozen Darren is unaffected so he is able to wonder about until he decides to slip back into his frozen self. He meets Mira and her brother Eugene and together they help Darren to learn about who is really is while on a mission of revenge. As Darren discovers what he really is who can be trust? Who is trying to kill him? Is there a connection between the deaths of Darren parents and Mira/Eugene's?
The Time Stopper (#0.5) is a short story told in Mira's pov, it gives the reader more insightful look at Mira, a Russian girl and her brother Eugene who both move to New York after the death of their parents. You start to understand her more and by the end of the story I wanted to read another book told in her pov.
All the characters are so well developed that you feel an instant connection to them, you see them grow as the story moves on which makes them relatable. I especially love the close brother and sister relationship of Eugene and Mira. I love their bond and how they are protective of each other since their parents death.
I was transported into a sci fi world that I could fully escape to, allowing me to leave all my day to day stresses and worries behind me. This is one thing that is hard for me to do, so for me to forget the world and emerse myself fully into a book and forget everything is an achievement. Mr Zales carried me into a story that was full of suspense, intrigue, drama action with an amazingly original storyline that is so detailed and descriptive that its easy to visualize what is happening without the reader becoming lost or confused. As the story progressed it became more in depth and intense with a mountain of twists and turns along the way.Even though its a sci fi, it doesn't seem far fetched or unrealistic, it seems like people with these abilities could really exist in our world in our time. This is down to the clever writing of the author. I love books that will make me believe in the unbelievable and this is one of them.At times it had me wishing I could slip into ' the quiet' even if it was just to finish the series or to win money in Vegas.
Now I will speak about the narration. Laura Jennings only narrated The Time Stoppers, even though it's a short book I would love to hear her narrate more from Mira's pov she brought Mira to life. Roberto Scarlato does an amazing job with creating a extra depth and dimension to this audio book. He brings the characters to life. His different character accents/voices were so good that I honestly thought that there was another narrator at one point I even had to stop the book and check the credits and out loud said 'wow!' when I realized it was only Mr Scarlato doing the voices. He had me pacing the floor with his narration when things got really intense and the climax near the end of the book 2 had me gasping at loud '''nnnoooo that can't happen!' But then minutes later it was followed by a 'phew! Thank God for that!'
I can't recommend this series highly enough. It's fast becoming one of my favourite sci fi series ever and I'm so excited to be starting book 3, The Enlightened now.

Good Enough but Listen to the Sample
If you are going to Audible this series, definitely start with this one (you get 3 things for one credit).
This review will cover the entire series (including 3 & 4 where are separate audible books).
Firstly, for some, the narration by Roberto Scarlato might really ruin the series. This is not the worst narration I have encountered, it is clear and understandable without distortions, but it is pretty bad. Mostly monotone and pedantic with pauses that became almost humorous when the narrator turns the page. Things like "The food was the best.......in the city". This might happen to any narrator and the audio editor might not catch it, but this happens MANY times. Listen to the audio sample before you buy. Amazingly the narration by Laura Jennings was even worst.
I have done Audible (and BOT) for decades and I have learned to deal with almost any narration that is clear enough to understand, but this narration was a bit of a challenge.
The prose are not great and there are more cliches than I like, but the concept and characters where just interesting enough to keep me engaged through the series. The books mostly make sense but a few times the characters do crazy things to setup a few story elements.
The world is interesting and dealt with by the characters in a matter-of-fact way that makes the fantasy/SciFi aspects enjoyable. Although I did finish 0-4 and mildly enjoyed them, I could not wholeheartedly recommend the series.
This first volume 0-2 was the best, as the slow reveal of how the powers work was the best part of the series. The next two books take things to another level (literally) which did not add much for me and seemed somewhat contrived and ad hoc. I am not sure I would read another volume if it appeared.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
