Annabelle Reynolds has everything she's ever wanted. A devoted husband, two wonderful daughters, and a career she loves. She couldn't be happier. So why is she suddenly plagued by disturbing dreams of a future where she hates her husband and her daughters' lives are at risk? At first, she chalks the dreams up to an overactive imagination. But when details from her dreams, details she couldn't possibly have predicted, begin to materialize, she realizes these aren't just dreams but rather premonitions of a terrifying future. They all point to a singular choice, an unknown moment that holds Annabelle's life in the balance.

Then Annabelle has a dream that her daughter Scarlett is in immediate danger. Someone wants Scarlett dead, and Annabelle has no idea who or why. Suddenly, every choice she makes is fraught with peril, with no inkling of which move could bring this terrifying vision to life. As Annabelle's present life starts to collide with the future in her dreams, she wrestles with how much control she really has over her destiny and whether she can change what is meant to be.

Dreams reveal all!

Dreams are your body's way of making sense of the world, and sometimes you pick up signals that your conscious mind might not notice but it comes through in your dreams. So, to me this sounded pretty plausible and with the short chapters and the weaving of past and present and dreams, it had me eagerly reading to see if Annabelle can unravel all the secrets kept by others, in time to save herself and her family. Mostly from Annabelle's point of view, there was also a bit of Scarlett (and her view really ramps up the tension with me shouting at her to not trust that person!) It does kind of start a bit slow, but there are enough intriguing dreams that have truth in them, that I had to keep going to see how it was all going to turn out. And boy did it have some wild turns (some a bit too whacky) but still entertaining and for the last quarter, I just had to sit and read because I could not put it down. So, it was a fun thriller, with a kind of touch of the supernatural (some of those dreams had really specific details!) and a happy ending, for those that deserve it anyways.
