I loved Erin Brockovich at the very end. I wasn't too intrigued until the very end though! LOL I'm not a fan of courtroom dramas but this seems to add a little extra, eh?

Thank you for the insightful review! I am always intrigued by stories involving dreams and reincarnation and this book seems to be a very interesting and well written one.

Thanks for the review! I definitely got a glimpse of the story's unpredictability in the sample. I'm kind of confused on whether Sam is Susan's reincarnate but despite that, the plot is very interesting.

I loved this story! I was afraid at first that our characters had been introduced and built up too early, but the pacing evened out and I enjoyed the romantic interlude and the suspense that built with every page turned. A great mixture of romance and suspense!

Based on this review I would definitely read this book. However crime books are not usually directed at younger readers so I think the comment about not being suitable for young readers was unnecessary.

Sounds a like the religious concept in it will be reincarnation. A book I would like to read. Thanks for the review

After reading the sample pages of this book, I have been thinking of nothing but finding out how this story goes. It is intriguing in many ways, the writing flows easily and I am interested to find out what happens to the characters. Especially if and when Mike meets the girl who appears to have weirdly inherited his dead wife’s feelings and thoughts.

Gripped from the start, I will be adding this to my TBR list

This was a great review. After reading the sample I found the review very comprehensive. The sample of the book drew me in and wanted to keep reading. This seems like one of those books that can keep you up all night reading. I would like to read this book based on the review alone. Reading the sample clinched it for me.

Congrats on the honest review. I might like this suspense thriller. I would probably face a little trouble shuttling between the past and present, though.

This book has undertones of a John Grisham novel, and so it is definitely a must read for me. Great review

Wow! Am already sold on the idea of getting to read this book. This is my type of book, not only because of the genre but also the themes and topics that were addressed by the author.
Great review!
