A Midnight So Deadly

first thing first, thank you very much for allowing me to read your book early.

the first thing that pulled me in was the beautifully made cover and the intriguing title of the book paired with the description, and once I started reading I was not disappointed once I started reading it, and found myself not being able to stop until I finished the book, I loved how this chilling tale was told and kept me wanting more.

I will be recommending this book to friends and people alike, to preorder and read it when it gets released.

The thriller books are read lately have been fabulous. This one was no exception. It was a great read that kept me entertained from beginning to end.

Have you ever wondered if your dreams are taking place in another world, and this life is actually the dream?

In a Midnight So Deadly, the two main characters, Maeve and Peri are dream-streamers. The technology to download and watch your dreams has been created, and there are dream influencers who upload their most vivid and interesting dreams for views and followers. Maeve is an ambitious streamer, doing all she can to garner a huge following, trying new tech and even drugs to create the most exciting uploads. Peri, is a mystery to their followers and while they are popular, Peri is content to live like a hermit, with one foot in the dream world and one in reality.

Their lives are upended when the dreams start bleeding over into reality, and the people they meet in the dreams seem to be in trouble. Trouble that may be caused by this new dream technology. Told in parallel points of view, the action ramps up when they discover each other. It becomes a race against time as Peri and Maeve explore dream landscapes to figure out how to save both the people in the other realm, and people in our reality who are in danger from their dreams.

I had such a fun time reading this, it's a brilliant premise and Maeve and Peri are so captivating. I loved them both and am hoping that this might be a series as I'm left with a lot of questions about the realm of dreams. I would follow these two anywhere!

Dreams and reality collide in this fantastic read! The concept grabbed my attention but the story was even better than I imagined. It was such a unique and clever way to weave dreams and reality together with a plot that kept me turning the page. It was well written and entertaining. Though it had more of a YA feel than an Adult feel, but that in no way took away from the enjoyment of the overall story.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a “cozy paranormal thriller”, but after reading it I’d have to say that description fits!

This story introduces us to a world where people can record their dreams and then share them online with others. The consequences that come from this aren’t what you’d think. There are downsides to sharing your dreams-deadly ones.

For people interested in futuristic worlds with a touch of eerie, this read is for you!

Wow what a book. I was on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed exploring the characters dreams and their different lives. Such a great read. I really enjoyed it

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review

3.5 stars rounded to 4

If you like Black Mirror then you're sure to enjoy this sci-fi thriller with a cool and imaginative mystery plot. Join Maeve and Peri as they record their dreams and discover more than they bargained for. Dual POV which at first seem unrelated to each other begin to intertwine as things get more complicated. An easy and quick read!

Entertaining fantasy story. A slightly alternative world where dreams can be, and are, recorded and shared. Maeve shares her dreams online to her followers. Which is fine until a murder occurs seemingly linked to one of her dreams. Not online yet Peri somehow experiences Maeve in their dreams. Two people searching for answers, and without knowing it each other. Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

I enjoyed this book for the original concept. I usually read thrillers and this was more of a sci-fi or fantasy, but still a very enjoyable read. It also reads a bit like YA- which is fine with me even though I wasn't originally expecting that. It was told from alternating POVs of the two main characters. I enjoyed one more than the other so those parts seemed to go a little faster while the other parts dragged. I wish that the characters would have came together sooner in the book instead of near the end. The "dream people" intrigued me the most. I also liked how it seemed to be a very modern day story. Current movies and tiktoks were referenced which makes the reader feel more connected.

The mysterious world of dreaming comes alive in A Midnight So Deadly. We all have dreams we wish we could watch again, right? Well ... maybe it isn't such a great idea after all. Dreaming becomes dangerous in this story, focused on characters who use advanced technology to make a career out of other people watching their dreams. These dreamers are flawed but relatable, trying their best to succeed in an unprecedented field. While I was looking for more twists in the plot, I enjoyed watching events unfold through the eyes of the dual narrators. I recommend this book for those interested in the power of dreams, who can also suspend disbelief and accept a world in which we can record, replay, and store dreams for public consumption.

This book is the first in Wren's brand new series.

The artwork is what enticed me to this book as it is incredibly dramatic and is really eye-catching.

The concept for this book is incredibly interesting - two dreamers who become inexplicably connected in their dreams when a best friend's ex is murdered.

I really enjoyed the character development in this, and I absolutely adored Maeve. Peri was a little more complex to unpack, but eventually, I began to understand Peri.

This is an incredibly unique storyline, and it kept me guessing. There were lots of twists and turns, and it was also quite dark at times.

Wren also ended up making me think... like, what if this were true and we could meet people in our dreams? Are we currently in a dream, and when we sleep, we wake up? So I definitely thought-provoking!

A great start to this series!

Great book! Very interesting spin on dreams and how to remember them. I found the story very good and very well written. Loved the little thriller put into the book!

Maeve and Peti both record their dreams and share them on social media. Things take a turn when dreams and reality start to blend together.

This plotline is so unique. The thought of recording your dreams and being able to watch what you can’t remember would be enticing yet eerie.

The story alternates between the POVs of Maeve and Peri throughout. Both characters were fascinating.

This was my first book with a character who used the pronoun they. It tripped me up until I got used to it, as I kept thinking it was talking about more than one person.

The dreams blending into reality was quite gripping. I think about how awful it would be not to know if you were in a dream or awake. That brings a bit of creepiness to the story.

I do feel the pacing dragged a bit, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Thank you netgalley for the advanced preview audio book. I just love getting advance copies! This one lives up to the hype!

I devoured this book so quickly and I can't wait to read more by the author!
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this opportunity.

For awhile I wrote down the dreams I remembered right when I woke up and the more I did this, the more often I remembered more of my dreams and they certainly were doozies sometimes. It was quite fun. This story takes it one step further with the development of tech that can record dreams and official dreamers who share those dreams with a wide audience as a way to earn a living. Some are very successful, like Peri, and others are still trying to find their niche, like Maeve.

It was very intriguing at first, and I think it was cool to be able to record dreams, but then it kinda dived off the deep end a little to soon with the mysterious woman that kept showing up in Peri's dreams and her complicated stuff for wanting Peri's help. It got a bit convoluted but still nicely creepy with how no one really knows all the ins and outs of dreaming (though it is very important for mind health) and the twist this book had (especially with Maeve's very popular dream) was cool.

This story had some rough edges but I enjoyed it with all the dreams and consequences that new tech might have that are not discovered yet are real. So, a bit if thriller, a bit of dreamy, and a fairly good start to a new series as I do want to find out why Maeve's dreams are the way the are and if Peri, can find happiness after all that happened to them.
