That's the most intriguing part of the book

Sounds like a fun novel! The only hang up with it that I gleamed from your review is the character's name, Mike Strange. Seems a little too on-the-nose.

Wow, I enjoyed your review so much that I'm adding this to my shelf! Anytime nightmares have a telepathic connection, I get so creeped out!

A story that mixed crime, courtroom drama, and romance should be good. The reincarnation angle is interesting. It is good that the characters are well-developed and believable. I am not that fond of plot alternating between times, though. Not sure it is for me, but I am glad you enjoyed it and found the ending satisfying. Thank you for the review!

A mystery thriller with a girl who might or might not be a reincarnation of a murdered woman. I'm definitely adding to my TBR list and congrats on being BOTD

The fact that it sounds similar to Erin Brockovich sounds interesting, but I am not into violent scenes. Thanks for the review.

Always been a fan of crime novels and this book is quite intriguing because of how the review is written. Sounds pretty good to me. Gotta give this a chance!

Great review! The Erin Brockovich comparison has me pretty hooked! Sounds like a clever combination of many of my favorite literary concepts. Well-developed characters checks the final box on my requirements for a good book - I'll have to give it a read! Thanks!

At first, the premise sounded unoriginal. A student having nightmares since childhood? Nothing new. The rest of the summary is definitely better. I'm glad that I read this review since I wouldn't give this book a second thought after seeing it on Amazon. Just like you mentioned, I'm one of those who find alternating between past and present frustrating at times, but it depends on the author's writing skills. Thanks for the review!

Non-heavy courtroom scenes are just fine with me and I like a book that can weave two separate stories into one which seems to be the case here judging from your review. Thank you for your review

The story was beautifully plotted from the way Mike and Susan have met on the train and how they finally got married. Makes me feel thrilled to read the next happening on their love story. This story is somehow similar to how me and my husband had met, thats why it really left a mark on me. I will highly recommend this to my friends
