Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
A woman worries that her confounding nightmares are actually premonitions in this slick standalone from The Last Mrs. Parrish author Constantine (a pseudonym for sisters Lynne and Valerie Constantine). Successful PR agent Annabelle Reynolds has a happy family life and a loving husband, so she's startled when she awakens one morning from a dream about a violent marital spat. Annabelle's husband, James, is a sensitive doctor who rescued her from a toxic relationship with a manipulative professor, so she knows he'd never lay hands on her--but she still can't shake the thought. Subsequent dreams, including one about a beachside encounter with a handsome stranger, prove eerily prescient, and then Annabelle has a vision of her older daughter, Scarlett, in grave danger. She keeps a close eye on Scarlett while trying to understand who, or what, is penetrating her subconscious. The nerve-jangling action relies heavily on coincidence, but the plot barrels along at such a breakneck pace that readers are unlikely to get hung up on plausibility. The Constantine sisters are at the top of their game. Agent: Jenny Bent, Bent Agency. (June)
