Book Review: Dream a Little Dream

 

His student. His obsession. His undoing.

“Aaron Jones is a spark in the dark. Beautiful. Dangerous. Capable of destruction. Kenny should have run. Instead, he lit the match.”

Aaron Jones knows all about the darkness lurking beneath polished façades. His parents were infamous for it. Determined to keep everyone at arm’s length, especially those who dig too deep, his carefully built walls start to crumble when he encounters his new professor, renowned criminal psychologist, Dr Kenneth Lyons.

Kenny has always been drawn to the darkness. But nothing prepares him for Aaron, the haunted student who awakens something dangerous in his carefully controlled world. As the son of the most infamous serial killers, Aaron’s past is a minefield of trauma and secrets.

Aaron is a beautiful, complex, irresistible puzzle, and one Kenny’s desperate to solve. Sweeping aside every professional and moral boundary, he crosses the line towards a forbidden, all-consuming obsession, where every touch is a sin and every whispered confession could lead to ruin.

But as a killer emerges, leaving a trail of echoes from Aaron’s past, their fragile relationship is tested in ways neither could have expected. And when the next target is someone close to Kenny, the line between Aaron’s bleak heritage and his innocence blurs.

Who the real monster is will leave them questioning everything.

Especially each other.

Dream a Little Dream (To Love a Psycho Book 1) is the first book in a gripping new trilogy of obsession, psychological tension, and dark romance where nothing is as it seems. Perfect for fans of twisted mysteries, forbidden attraction, and heart-pounding suspense.



My Review

Talk about an opening scene. From that first scene, I was hooked. Both Aaron and Kenny are hiding things. I was drawn to the mystery of them both. Although Aaron is more reckless. Kenny is more like Superman. Not in the sense that he is a hero but that he can hide his "other" persona. 

To be honest, I expected to have more romantic moments between Aaron and Kenny, and I was ready for them. The few that I did get, I did enjoy. Although seeing that this series continues with more of a focus on Kenny next, I am sure we will get more interactions between Kenny and Aaron. 

I do like where this story is going and am intrigued. I am very curious as to where it will end and look forward to reading the next book in this series.
