Waking Dream - J.J. DiBenedetto



Waking Dream
“Oh, God!   We can hurt each other.  Whatever we do to each other in the dream, we’ll do it to ourselves for real…”
When her own dreams are visited by a mysterious woman in a red dress, Sara realizes she has something she never expected: a counterpart, someone outside her family who shares her talent to see other people’s dreams.
 When the woman in red keeps showing up in other dreams as well, leaving ruined lives in her wake, Sara knows she has something she never imagined: a nemesis.
Now, Sara must track the woman in red down in the waking world, before she’s forced to fight for her life in her dreams…

“Waking Dream” is the exciting fifth novel in the “Dreams” series.

Review

YES!  DiBenedetto does it again.  Waking Dream keeps going strong with all the elements I've come to expect from this series and I'm loving it.  With the added twist this book introduces, DiBenedetto keeps the story line live and fresh.  Sara and her family continue to face struggles of normal life while Sara has the added battle for her life and for her family.

I do wish DiBenedetto had gotten to certain parts sooner in the story so that we could explore the inner workings of the dream world a bit more, but perhaps that will come in the next book because he definitely laid the ground works for any number of possibilities to come.  With his easy style of writing, it feels like listening to an old friend talking.  He is a natural storyteller.  

Thank you James!
