Publisher's summary

Nightmares aren't always figments of our imagination. Alexandrea Cooper moves back to her hometown, Ravensville, after a 10 year absence. She starts adjusting to life back home again, when her parents are brutally murdered. There are no suspects and Alexandrea tries to cope with the grief of what has happened, when suddenly her sleep becomes plagued with nightmares of her parent's killer. She quickly realizes that there's more to her world than she originally believed. She's reunited with her high school sweetheart Jake, and the nightmares intensify. Attempts on Alexandrea's life twist her life as she knows it. In a race against time, can they stop the killer before it's too late?

Cool Concept!

Lexi moves back home after a bad relationship. Her parents die soon after and she blames herself nut not in the way most people do. She saw herself do it and can remember details of doing it. She reunited with a cousin who lives in town Mia and her high school sweetheart Jake. What she see's isn't really her killing her parents but a dream of it and she see's other dreams, horrible dreams and there's a man who visits her dreams.

The story is fast-paced, plot directed and includes strong characters. It's an easy book to sink into and listen in one shot. Mia and Lexi soon learn they aren't everyday people but have special and unique abilities passed on from their parents and heritage. Mia knew but Lexi didn't. After all the dreams and other wild things that start happening she soon learns.

A paranormal romance with crazy plot twists and excitement!

I received this book free for an honest review.

Wow!

Loved this book! Fast paced with lots of suspense. Lex and Jake are great characters, I loved their dynamic. The narrator did an amazing job of bringing the characters to life.

great paranormal book

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This book starts off with some intensity, so that was a nice change from the normal slow burn. The premise of nightmares impacting reality was a cool addition. I liked that the romance aspect was a small part of the book and not the main focus. The story had some nice twists and the narrator kept everything moving forward at a nice pace. All in all, worth a credit.

Wowzas!! So good!!

Woah, Zizi Cole opens this book off quite the start! We go right into a very disturbing dream where Alexandrea murders her parents. Then after moving back home… her parents really do get murdered! It’s a terrifying build up of suspension… you can feel the build up and it sucks you in. Everything is turned upside down and inside out… and it’s an insane confusing ride! Hold one and enjoy this listen! Courtney Parker is fantastic! Zizi Cole and Parker work so well together. The story consumes you!

scary disturbed nightmares!

This book starts off with a bang. starts right off with a very disturbing dream of killing her parents. how does a book keep up the pace after that? Well somehow Zizi Cole does it.
This a great mix of paranormal and mystery all tied together. It will not leave you disappointed. great work ZIZI! I look forward to hearing more from you.

Mss Parker did a find job performing in this book! She bought great life into the voices! and I would listen to a book she reads again. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

A Suspense Story Filled with Love

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.
This is a story that combines very different genres but does so masterfully. In a perfect communion of paranormal, thriller and love stories, the characters have to deal with unsuspected threats both mortal and supernatural. The psychological torment brought out by unnecessary guilt, brings the protagonist Lex to the brink of desperation until friendship, love, and professional investigation skills, can finally lift that tormenting burden from her shoulders. The characters are all very well developed and likable. The guessing game continues to the end and will not disappoint. The ending of the book assumes a continuation and I for one cannot wait to read it.

Just Read & You Will Love It!

When you listen to a book, you close your eyes, envision the story being told to you, like you are in a dream. I felt like I was there playing a role in the scenes, trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Feeling the distress of the characters, the memories of each one and the long ago lost love. There was a balance, one was loyalty, the other was dismay, you knew when one ended and the other began. The different elements of the book took you far and wide with twists and turns you couldn't imagine. I'm ready to listen to book 2 of The Damned Series ~ Sweet Visions

Excellent Listen

Oh man, this was a really good thriller! Opening with a nightmare of Alexandrea murdering her own parents, this tale only builds in suspense from there. When her parents actually are brutally murdered, it turns her life upside down and sends her into a spiral of murder, confusion and insanity. With her best friend/cousin and her childhood sweetheart at her side, Alexandrea will face a killer that wants her dead. Zizi Cole and Courtney Parker are an absolute dream team on this one! This book would be enjoyed by anyone who likes the mystery/thriller genre!
