Book Description:
If you close your eyes, he'll get you.

Sophie Dunston knows all too well how dreams can kill. As one of the nation's top sleep therapists, she specializes in the life-threatening night terrors that her ten-year-old son, Michael, suffers from. But she is also an expert in another kind of terror -- the kind that can turn a dream life into a living nightmare in the blink of an eye.

Someone is watching. He's a shadowy figure from out of her darkest fears and he hasn't forgotten her. In one shocking moment of violence, he'd shattered Sophie's world forever and left her with only one thing to live for: her son. But the nightmare isn't over for Sophie Dunston. It's just begun. He's been waiting. Sophie was supposed to die the first time around, but fate intervened. This time he'll make sure that not even a miracle will save her.

It wasn't a miracle that saved Jock Gavin, but it was pretty close. A semi-retired hit man, commando, and jack-of-all-deadly-trades, he knows what Sophie is up against -- and that she'll need help. But the man he's chosen for the job is as unpredictable as he is dangerous. Matt Royd is a wild card -- hard, cool, merciless -- and putting him into play changes the game completely. But to whose advantage? Sophie will soon find out. She will have to trust Royd because she has no choices left. Because the bogeyman haunting her dreams is all too real and he's on the hunt again. Because the nightmare he's got planned for Sophie won't end when she wakes up screaming. It won't end. Ever.

First Iris Johansen book I have read and I absolutely loved it. Her characters are vivid, real, and mesmerizing. The story line keeps you guessing and wanting more. A difficult book to put down once you start. I highly recommend this book if you are a lover of mystery, romance, and the unexpected twists and turns this writer provides.

This is an excellent book - one of Johansen's best - and that is saying a lot. All too real with current events as they are today.

I was a little disappointed in this book. I found it hard to become attached or involved emotionally with the lead characters. I walked away feeling less than satisfied. The plot and tension was good, but there was no emotional connection.

Someone is watching....

He's a shadowy figure from her darkest nightmare and he hasn't forgotten her. In one shocking instant he'd shattered Sophie Dunston's world forever. Now she has only one thing to live for, her son, Michael. And their nightmare is far from over.

Someone is waiting....

As one of the nation's top sleep therapists, Sophie knows how dreams can kill. She specializes in the life-threatening night terror that her son suffers from - but even his worst nightmares don't compare with the all-too-real terror that's about to begin.

Someone will die....

Sophie's only ally is a man as unpredictable as he is dangerous. Matt Royd is a wild card - hard, cool, merciless - and putting him into play changes the game completely. But if Sophie makes the wrong move, she won't wake up screaming. She won't wake up. Ever.

It was better than I thought it would be. The title doesnt really match the plot of the book but other than that it was a pleasant read.
