When I read the summary for this book, I thought it seemed super cool. I don’t get a chance to read too many psychological thrillers, but I watch lots of these types of movies and I love them. Unfortunately, Dead Dreams just was not the book for me. I thought the story was jumpy and confusing.

I thought this was going to be a story about Brie. And while she is the main character, it really isn’t a story about her at all. It is about a chain of events that happen to her. My biggest problem with this book was that I didn’t really understand the point of it. It felt like it was missing a plot. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of stuff happened, but they felt like things that could be a really cool story surrounding a main plot. I didn’t really know what Brie was doing with her life before her new roommate showed up. I didn’t really know what she was doing during the story except for working, and I never really felt like I got to know her.

The mystery surrounding Brie’s roommate was interesting enough, but it was so confusing. I know that’s how it was meant to be, but it just frustrated me. I tried multiple times to get into this book, but I had to force myself to keep reading. I think some people could really enjoy the mystery surrounding this story and would totally get into the creepy, and unique story telling, but it just wasn’t something that I enjoyed.
