READ LIKE A DREAM BUT UNSETTLES LIKE A NIGHTMARE- A.J.Finn

BEST COVER OF THE YEAR FOR ME! so far!!!

A dark, twisty, and shocking mystery about a young woman who commits a double murder while sleepwalking, and then never opens her eyes again.

The world will know her name.

What if your nightmares weren’t really nightmares at all? We spend an average of 33 years of our lives asleep. But what really happens, and what are we capable of, when we sleep? Anna Ogilvy was a budding twenty-five-year-old writer with a bright future. Then, one night, she stabbed two people to death with no apparent motive—and hasn’t woken up since.

Dubbed “Sleeping Beauty” by the tabloids, Anna’s condition is a rare psychosomatic disorder known to neurologists as “resignation syndrome.” Dr. Benedict Prince is a forensic psychologist and an expert in the field of sleep-related homicides. His methods are the last hope of solving the infamous “Anna O” case and waking Anna up so she can stand trial. But he must be careful treating such a high-profile suspect—he’s got career secrets and a complicated personal life of his own.

As Anna shows the first signs of stirring, Benedict must determine what really happened and whether Anna should be held responsible for her crimes. Only Anna knows the truth about that night, but only Benedict know.

Review by Mandy

Oh I loved Anna O!! I regret having it on my NetGalley shelf to be read for so long. I could not get enough of this story. When I wasn’t reading it I was thinking about just how it was going to unfold. I loved that all of my theories were wrong and the ending was jaw dropping. This book has been much hyped and is still not out until February. In my opinion, it is worth the attention. Do whatever you have to do to get your hands on this book.

Anna O is famous around the world. 4 years ago she killed 2 people in her sleep. And she hasn’t opened her eyes since. She is now being transferred to a sleep clinic for high profile people and it is Ben’s job to wake her up.

So many questions!! murdering in your sleep, how is that even possible? Why did Anna do it.. did she do it? why is she still asleep? I loved reading the chapters from Anna’s diary, getting to know her better and learning what happened in the lead up to that infamous incident.

Just fantastic!!
