Great review. I am a huge fan of psychological mysteries. This one sounds particularly interesting with great character development and really great writing puts this at the top of my TBR. Thanks so much for sharing.

This seems to be a deeply psychological thriller filled with enough twists and turns to keep the reader thinking, making suppositions and coming to some conclusions as he reads the book. Why does Charlie have the premonitions and dreams about the girl he barely knows? What traumatic event happened to him in his childhood that he convinced himself that he cannot have children? It sounds pretty interesting; I got my free copy and thanks for making it free.

Thanks for the great review! I was tempted by the cover even when I didn’t have context, but with the knowledge that it’s a psych thriller I’m excited to check it out! Thanks to the author for the free book!

Psychological thrillers with great character development, that are intellectual are definitely up my alley. Look forward to reading this book. The human condition and personal growth are very vital topics needed in books, look forward to witnessing the journey these characters go on.

Charlie's
development progressed continually, advancing Charlie from a psychologically damaged and insecure man to a prudent character proving worthy of recognition.
Sounds like the author created a well-written, intricate, character driven story.

I love the title of this book. I’m huge fan of psychological mystery novels, as well, but I found the beginning to be a bit confusing. I’m not sure just yet if I’ll continue reading. Great review!

If I saw this book on the shelf, the cover would not grab my attention. However, this psychological mystery sounds fascinating! I am glad the author created depth in the story and in the characters. Congrats on book of the day! Great review!

I love psychology , mystery, and thrills; this sounds like a great combination of all of the above. I really enjoy when authors explore topics like dreams and dream interpretation. The title has me intrigued. Sounds like a great read.

Your review is not what I expected from the title and cover. I would have expected a murder mystery rather than a psychological thriller.
