Book Review: Night Terrors

 

It was only a dream...

Every night, Blaire Barlow wakes up screaming. Her sticky hands are covered in blood from sins she barely remembers. Every morning, the light proves it was only a dream.

Real or not, the lack of sleep is tearing her life apart, threatening both her job and her sanity. Desperate, she turns to less than legal measures to cure her nightmares once and for all – the local drug dealer, Winder.

Winder denies her, until he is forced to shelter Blaire from a threat no longer contained to her dreams. With no other option, Winder offers protection and insight into the unsettling gaps in Blaire’s memory. The deeper they dig, the closer they come to the truth that could save them both, or damn them forever.

Bound by shared secrets, and a growing, forbidden desire, the two must work together to save Blaire’s life. But the truth can be twisted...and we all know how quickly a dream can turn into a nightmare.


My Review:

Blaire is seeing a de@d body and her hands covered in blood. Yet there is no body and she keeps having nightmares. What does it all mean?

"The one who was painfully honest with herself in the dark of night, and the one who was deathly afraid of what the shadows held."

As the story progresses, I got caught up more going down the rabbit hole with Blaire. What are the flashbacks she is having. Are they just dreams or something real that happened to her? How does Winder play into all of this?

"It was only a dream."

The further you get into the story; you start to feel a bit of a tingling at the back of your head. You are wondering what is real or not? A sign of a great psychological thriller that messes with your mind. The last third of the story is where things really get intense and fast paced. Readers did you see the ending coming? Torri crushed it with this book! This book is one that you will miss sleep over, and it is ten times worth it!
