Extremely Tangled Dreams – #MFRWHooks

Today’s Book Hooks is totally on-theme with my Dream Doctor Mysteries.  “Tangled Dreams and Tender Kisses” certainly fits a book about someone who can visit other people’s dreams!  So here’s an excerpt from Dream Student.  Our heroine Sara is stepping into other people’s dreams, and she finds herself in the midst of her boyfriend dreaming about her…

…Once again, Sara suddenly finds herself somewhere else.  This time, she’s in the back seat of a car–and in the driver’s seat is Brian!  Sara knows who’s in the passenger seat, and when she looks, her knowledge is confirmed: she’s looking at herself.  Outside the window, the streets are unfamiliar, but there’s only one place they could be going.  When the car turns a corner and slows to enter the driveway of a two-story brick house, she knows this is Brian’s home.

The car is parked, the doors are opened, and Brian and dream-Sara exit, with the real Sara following close behind.  They walk up to the house, and Sara sees the Christmas decorations everywhere: reindeer outside, a big wreath on the door, lights strung all around.  The front door opens, and Brian and dream-Sara are greeted by what seems to be Brian’s entire extended family.  Sara can feel the pride and happiness that Brian is radiating as he walks in with dream-Sara on his arm.  She’s overwhelmed by the feeling…

…Someone–Brian–is kissing me.

That’s all I know, and it’s the only thing in the world that matters, being woken up by a kiss like a fairy-tale princess.  We kiss for a good long while.  Finally, I back off from him a little.  “You were dreaming about me,” I say, unable to suppress a giggle.

“And you were dreaming about me dreaming about you.”

“That too,” I answer, and then I go back to kissing him.  It seems like the only reasonable thing to do at the moment.

Dream Student is the first book of the Dream Doctor Mysteries:

Sara Barnes has her life totally under control. All she has to worry about is college exams, Christmas shopping, applying to medical school–and what to do about the cute freshman who has a crush on her. And everything is going according to plan, until the night she starts dreaming other people’s dreams.

It’s bad enough that every night is a theater of her friends’ and classmates’ secret fantasies. Worse yet are the other dreams, the dark ones featuring a strange, terrifying man committing unspeakable crimes.

As the nightmares increase, Sara’s life becomes a blur of waking and sleeping, of terror and urgency. Because if she was given this dream-sharing gift for a reason, it must be to stop the killer madman she’s come to know all too well. But how can she stop him when she’s just a student, and they’re only dreams?

You can find “Dream Student” on Amazon, at a list of other ebook retailers, and on Audible!
