Dreamscape (J.J. Morris Mysteries) by J.N. Sheats – Review by Julie Johnson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s getting really close to finals week and Joey has never made poorer grades in her life. She’s always been a great student but lately has started having dreams that are overtaking her every thought. There are mysterious fires happening all around her and her roommate has been missing for quite some time. She gets these inklings that draw her near to the scenes and she finds herself getting a little too involved sometimes. Is she going to be able to pull off passing grades for this semester?

This is a great book. I was hooked from the first chapter. There are portions of the book that seem like they might be small cliffhangers and you’re on the edge of your seat until you can turn the page and get more of the story. The descriptions are so good it’s like you are right there next to Joey. There is adventure, paranormal activity, and twisty mysteries throughout. This is the second book in the series. Having not read the first book, there were times I wish I had more background on certain things but enough was given to not lose the story. I will go back and read the first book though!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Jorja Knight series and can be read as a standalone. This book follows Jorja who I very much enjoyed as our main character. She was funny and smart and an all around awesome main character. We follow her while she on the hunt for her missing friend in an unfamiliar city. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and hopefully more book in this series!
I would recommend to a friend!
Happy Reading!

A Knight in Peril by Alice Bienia, is a thrilling mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat. From the beginning the story my curiosity was piqued and kept me guessing what would happen next. The fast paced murder and mayhem make you not want to put the book down until the end.

This book is the sixth book in the series but can be read as a standalone. It is just as good as the other books and is exactly what I have come to expect from this series and this author. I reconnected with the main character straight away and I loved how the book seemed to throw you straight back into it.
The story was full of suspense and took the readers on a thrilling chase around a city most would be unfamiliar with. At times it had me on the edge of my seat as to how things would work out. I was fully engaged with it from the moment I started reading. This is a great story and I am looking forward to whatever comes next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Knight in Peril by Alice Bienia is the 6th book in the Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery. This book is part of a series, but can definitely be read as a standalone, even though I doubt you will want to! I am going to go back and read the previous books in the series just to get the full idea of who Jorja Knight is and her back story. Jorja Knight is a Private Investigator from Canada who is supposed to meet her friend Gabriella Rizzo in Istanbul, Turkey for a little bit of R&R, and soon finds out that she is going to have to use her investigative skills to solve a mystery involving her friend. When Jorja arrives to Istanbul, she finds it odd that her friend hasn’t showed up to meet her at the airport as planned, but then thinks that maybe messages were crossed and goes to their hotel to check in. When Jorja arrives, she quickly finds that Gabs things are in the room, but Gabs is not! Jorja starts to worry especially when Gabs doesn’t show up the next day, Jorja gets the feeling that something is very wrong, and decides to report her missing to the police who do not take Jorja’s concerns seriously. Jorja knows that she has no jurisdiction in Istanbul to look for Gab, but she knows that something is very wrong, and she can’t just sit by and hope for the best. That is when Jorja decides to take things into her own hands and starts investigating what possibly could have happened to Gabs. Will Jorja be successful in solving the mystery about what has happened to her friend, will she find herself in a bigger situation? The only way to find out is to pick up a copy of the book and read it yourself! I don’t think you will be disappointed at all!

Knight In Peril (A Jorja Knight Private Investigator Mystery) by Alice Bienia. This is such a good story and it can be read as a standalone but I always recommend reading them in order to better understand everything. Its the continuing story of Jorja Knight Private Investigator who is from Canada and she is supposed to be meeting her friend, Gabriella in Instanbul for a vacation. When Gabriella doesn’t show up at the airport Gabriella thinks its odd but thinks maybe she got busy. When she gets to Gabriella’s her stuff is there but its been gone thru. When Gabriella doesn’t show up the next day Jorja is super concerned and decides to report her missing. Jorja knows she has no powers over in Instanbul but she can’t just sit around waiting. When a dead body shows up she knows she has to find her. Will she find her before its too late? Read this fun mystery to find out!. I love this author’s writing because I felt like I was in Instanbul while reading.

Key West DeadKey West Dead by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My favorite duo is back! Jake is a war veteran and Cody is his canine companion from their war days together. Jake’s special skill is finding trouble wherever he goes. This time around it’s a bomb-maker in Florida who sets his sights on Jake once they’re onto him. Will Jake and Cody be able to find the criminal before he causes a catastrophe? This author does such an amazing job weaving an incredible storyline with suspense and mystery that is difficult to put down. I also appreciated the description of the scenery as it made it feel like I was there in Florida! I highly recommend this entire series, but if you want just one fast-paced thriller, don’t miss out on this one!

Deadly Weapon (Jake Wolfe, #5)Deadly Weapon by Mark Nolan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the Jake Wolfe Thrillers Series, and it has made itself a staple in my library. I get tremendously excited when I hear there is another book in the series coming out. The amount of times Jake and Cody have saved others increases with each book, but have they met their match? This threat is the biggest yet, and it just seems like they are up against insurmountable odds. Full of suspense, danger, and twists around each chapter, you’ll find yourself struggling to put this book down just so you can find out what happens next. I do enjoy that the author brings in characters from past books in the series, but you can still read this as a standalone. You’ll run to pick up the rest of the series once you read one!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read one book by this author before that I really enjoyed, so I was excited to start this series! Something that really stood out to me was how realistic the characters felt. I was invested in them quite quickly and felt like I was experiencing the story instead of reading it. The drama was at a perfect level that keeps you engaged and interested in the outcome, but not so much that it overwhelmed the plot. This story kept me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning to the last page! I highly recommend picking this up and letting yourself get lost in Jake’s world. I am already into the next book in the series!

DreamscapeDreamscape by J.N. Sheats
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series and I did not read the first book before this one. I don’t feel like that made this book any less without reading the first one. However, I can see spots in the book where reading the first one would be beneficial. I would recommend reading book one, first, and then this book but it is not necessary to understand what is happening in the book. I will be reading the first one because I really want some of the background that you are given and really strengthen the connection that you get to the characters. This book is considered a YA paranormal read but I feel like it is more than that. I really, really enjoyed it. It has mystery to keep you on the edge of your seat. It has romance and it has such tangible imagery. It is like the words just fly off the pages and create a picture before you eyes. I found myself being completely lost in the words that I was writing It is a true testament as to how well the book was written. If you are looking for a book that keeps your attention, is a quick read because you can’t put it down, and is amazing at building characters and scenery; this book is for you. P.S. I would highly suggest starting at the beginning of the series.

A completely new author to me and although I did not realise it was the second book in the series I found it an extremely engaging read. The characters obviously have a back story that I am unaware of but the world building and character development are both excellent.<br />When you see the unexpected supernatural world there is no going back and what aspects of the supernatural Joey has been exposed to makes it very difficult for her to not see the dangers that are out there. Things they would never if believed. She struggles to get back to some form of normality. All the time with dreams and unexpected happenings.<br />I am really looking forward to backtracking and reading book One. My daughters are also wanting to read these and I feel that they would enjoy them, <br />

This is the second installment in the JJ Morris series and I definitely suggest reading them in order so you aren’t missing any details. Dreamscape is a YA paranormal mystery filled with suspense, danger, and action; however, older audiences will enjoy the twists and turns as well. I really could not see where this story was going because Sheats had me guessing until the very end. I absolutely adore Joey and the way the author develops her throughout the story *chef’s kiss*. I cannot wait for book 3 to come out!

Knight in Peril
By: Alice Bienia

This is the sixth book in the Jorja Knight Series. However, it is important to note that although it is the sixth book it definitely could read as a standalone. Jorja Knight has become one of my favorite Main Characters – she is strong, independent, smart, quick thinking, and a force to be reckoned with. I have loved each and every book in this series. This one adds an extra element of taking place in Istanbul.
In this book, Jorja is on the hunt for a missing friend. Gabriella has absolutely disappeared and it is up to Jorja to find her in an unfamiliar landscape of a foreign city. Then to add on top of this there is corruption, secrets and lies.
I definitely recommend reading this one and all the Jorja Knight books. They are well written mysteries that never disappoint!

It seems as if trouble follows Logan McKenna around wherever she goes. While visiting the Oregon coast to check in with the school that she’s partnering with, she finds a dead body. Another one. It seems as though Logan attracts all the dead bodies. Then to make matters worse, the police’s number one suspect is someone from the school. Logan is set to prove that their friend could not have committed the crime no matter what evidence they “tie to him”. In another can’t put down book, Logan is racing against time to try and figure out what exactly happened and who did it.

When Jorja arrives, she thinks it’s odd that her friend doesn’t show up to meet her at the airport as planned, but thinks that maybe signals had gotten crossed and goes to their hotel to check in.

When a friend and traveling companion of Gab’s is found no longer alive, Jorja starts to really worry for her friends safety and accidentally makes mistakes with her own safety that ends up getting her to Gab in a dangerous way. Now Jorja and Gab have to find a way to save themselves in a foreign country with corrupt cops, and other challenges.

I still enjoyed this book very much, and I will be definitely jumping into the first one to get the full experience. The cover art is amazing and inside the covers did not disappoint, either. It was super easy to fall into Joey’s story and stay intrigued with all that’s going on. There’s a little bit for everyone – paranormal, action, suspense, etc. The story is addictive and the characters are vivid and come to life easily in this great world this author has made! I highly recommend this book, and I will venture a guess to say that this series is going to become a fast favorite! This is worth five stars in my book!

The first thing that drew me to this book was how entrancing its cover art was. Once I started reading, I was happy to see that it was just as entrancing on the inside. Unfortunately, I did not read the first book in this series called Lineage and I will be remedying that shortly because I absolutely loved this book! Even though I didn’t read the first book, Dreamscape was pretty easy to follow as a stand alone. I found Joey’s character to be relatable and J.N. Sheats made it so easy to see her world through Joey’s eyes. Her writing is phenomenal and riveting with a plot that is intriguing and complex. Truly a wonderful thriller with all things paranormal! The J.J. Morris series is turning out to be a new favorite of mine! I cannot wait to read the first book to see how it all started!

This is the second book in the J. J Morris. I would suggest reading these books in order so that you get the full experience and fully enjoy this author’s writing.
This is a really interesting paranormal mystery book for YA, however older readers would enjoy this as well. The author’s character building is amazing and the world building is so good you can’t help being drawn into it. This is a story filled with mystery, danger, twists and turns as well as the challenges faced by a young girl.

Joey is now at college. After everything that happen previously she is struggling to come to terms with it all and with the realisation that the world isn’t what she first thought it was. Her eyes are now open wide to all the dangerous out there.
As she tries to struggle through her studies while she is being plagued by dreams things start to happen that don’t make sense.
Fires start to happen at the school. Is this just to people playing pranks or could it be something else?
As the fires happen more often Joey’s dreams take a more violent and terrifying turn. Who is trying to get to her through her dreams and why? With the fires, the terrifying dark dreams and people going missing on campus will Joey be able to solve all these mysteries, protect herself and pass this semester in college or will it all be too much for her and will she fall into her dark dreams that the Dream Conductors are placing in her mind.
When you are already confused about the real world, how can to figure out what is real and what is a fantasy?

This story is gripping and I loved the adventure the author took me on. I really felt for Joey as she was going through her struggles and trying to figure out what is normal in her life now. After she has had her eyes opened is it even possible for her to return to just being a normal student. Me personally I think she has seen to much to ever be just a normal person again.

Dreamscape is the second book in the J.J. Morris series. I hadn’t read the first book and enjoyed this book well enough, there was plenty of information to help me catch up, but I would recommend reading the series in order to get the full backstory (unless you’re like me and see a pretty cover and can’t stop yourself!).

Joey is struggling to keep up with her day-to-day life as she also deals with the supernatural incidents she’s newly aware of. This will be relatable to anyone who has felt like their life has fallen apart a bit, the descriptions of the chaos of her living space were particularly familiar to me!

There are plenty of mysteries and questions to draw you into the story. How is Jinx the cat getting into Joey’s locked room? What’s with the weird dreams she’s having? What caused the fire on campus? It’s an intense story that will excite your imagination. Jinx, by the way, is definitely one of my favourite characters!

This book gets five stars from me. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

This is a missing persons case. It’s a cautionary tale for traveling tourists (are there any other types of tourists?). A suspense novel, yet it has a wisp of romance and fidelity running through it.
