About this audiobook
Gwen Frazier is no stranger to ghosts. She sees them in pools of water, windows, mirrors—any reflective surface—at the scene of violent deaths. But finding justice for the dead is something she’s not trained to do and a luxury she can’t afford. What pays the bills is her work as a psychic counselor who sees auras and interprets dreams.
The death of her friend and mentor, Evelyn Ballinger, brings Gwen back to the small town of Wilby, Oregon, and brings back memories she would rather forget. Two years ago, a killer stalked the members of one of Ballinger’s research studies—including Gwen. She survived, but two others didn’t, though the deaths were attributed to natural causes. The apparent suicide of the killer closed the case, yet Gwen knows otherwise. And now, she’s a suspect.
Enter Judson Coppersmith—a man of startling power and disturbing energy. Sent by a friend to help Gwen, the psychic investigator arrives in Wilby barely in control of his own talent and his own life, haunted by urgent dreams. His attraction to Gwen is primal, but there are secrets he must keep to protect himself from surrendering to her completely.
As their investigation into deaths past and present draws them ever closer to danger, Gwen finds herself going too far—into dreamscapes, into decades of deception, and into the fires of a desire too strong to resist.…

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was very similar to the first in the series. Judson and Gwen are involved in the paranormal murder case. It was ok.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well. This book is almost a copy of the first in the series "Copper Beach" and I do like this one better than the first, maybe the characters? I love that there is an animal in each book so far, and in this one a cat and I want to know what kind of critter will be in book number 3...(hehehe) the plot line? I like it better than the first book. I like Judson better than Sam. I think the author has got a formula that she likes, 1/4 of the way in there is sex, then 1/2 way and then 3/4 of the way in more sex... and not to much or to graphic, I hate gratuitous sex! This was a good quick and fun read. I have read a book by Amanda Quick before, not knowing it was Jane and it would not matter as I enjoyed it as well. I know what I like to read, When you want escapism... she is the author for you. this is a "just barely" ... 4 stars
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5JAK provides another solid story for those who like some paranormal elements with their romantic suspense. However, this is not one of her standout stories where things sizzle along. It's more like a comfortable blanket that you know you can rely on to give you a bit of a "happy read buzz", providing you liked Copper Beach. While this story is linked to Copper Beach via character relationships, if you're a new reader of JAK, you do not have to read Copper Beach to understand what's going on in Dream Eyes. If you are a new reader of JAK, though, I'd recommend starting elsewhere.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pretty OK book. The same script as most of the other Krentz books but this one seemed a little better. I liked the heroine and the hero. As always, the motives of the villains are explained at the end of the book before they are caught or killed. This latter characteristic Krentz's romantic suspense novels is somewhat annoying and probably makes me wondering why some editor doesn't talk to her about this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gwen sees ghosts in mirrors and can fix bad dreams. Judson has bad dreams but doesn't want any help. When a killer strikes they are forced to work together to find him or her and neutralize the threat.As usual I love any of the books by Krentz, under any of her various names. I even like the paranormal stuff in her books. They are always interesting, always fast paced and always fun to read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/54 solid Stars. See my complete review at puretextuality.com
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Gwen, a dream reader talent, and Judson who is a psychic investigator make a good team in this novel where they try to solve a series of murders in a small town. After Gwen took part in an experiment targeting people with psychic talent, other participants start dying. Two years later Gwen receives a cryptic message and returns to town to find her friend Evelyn who ran the experiment dead. Now, with a psychic killer on the loose and Gwen looking a lot like a suspect, she enlists help from the Copperfields to track down the killer. The story is enjoyable and fun, but not overly memorable. A good summer read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am on record as loving Krentz -- she is one of my favorite brands of reading junkfood. This was not my favorite of her books though. I wanted to know more about the characters, especially our hero. A fun read, but there are better.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not normally being a "paranormal reader, I was reluctant to pick up this book and read it, but since I had received it from the LT ER program, my obligation took control and I put it on the reading for May. I was extremely pleasantly surprised and well entertained my this book which told the story of two characters that both have special psychic abilities and the journey to find the murderer of a friend when there was only psychic evidence. Glad I read it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Gwen Frazier is a psychic counsellor, she can look into dreams and see the underlying issues. She is regarded as somewhat eccentric and she returns to a small town in the Oregon mountains to wind up the estate of her friend who suddenly died.When she arrives, she's convinced that this isn't just sudden death, things aren't adding up, but no-one believes her and she turns to her friend who is marrying into the Coppersmith family. They send Judson to help her, Judson is haunted by nightmares but can he afford to let her in? He's attracted to her but the investigation is creating more questions about her than about a lot of other things.It's not earth-shattering prose but it was entertaining and kept me reading. The two characters do spark well and the relationship was satisfying, the denoument of the mystery not so much,. it didn't feel complete.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I wish I could like this. JAK used to be one of my absolute favorite authors, someone I would automatically buy in hardcover, but lately I haven't found her writing as compelling. In this case, I feel as if I am being hit over the head with a blunt object. Every sentence is a statement--He feels this, he feels that, he gets caught in her dream eyes. There's no subtlety, not emotional impact, no delicious tension. I DNF'd this book, but I didn't give it a total loss because despite the fact that the writing is clunky, it's correct, and there's an actual plot.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The follow-up to Copper Beach sends security consultant Jackson Coppersmith down the coast of the aid of Gwen Frazier. Gwen's a dream therapist with a secret - she sees ghosts. And in the tiny town of Wilby, Oregon, there are plenty of ghosts and more in the making. Gwen was once part of a paranormal experiment there. It ended badly, with two murders and one suicide. A message from Gwen's friend Evelyn brings her back, but too late for Evelyn... now Gwen and Jack have no choice but to try to find the killer, because it appears Gwen is next on his list.Krentz stuck with her familiar formula here and there are more than a few elements that should resonate with long-time readers. Creepy cave scene, spunky heroine, protective alpha male, half-mad killer, large fluffy cat... still, if you're a fan, you're probably going to like this one as well. Just don't expect anything much beyond the tried and true.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really like this book. Gwen is a psychic counselor who interpreted dreams for clients and on the side writing scripts for a low-budget cable television series. She could see ghost.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A psychic counselor specializing in dreams and a psychic detective work to solve a series of deaths-by-psychic-means while falling in love. A nicely twisty sequel to Copper Beach. (And I can already guess who the third sibling's mate is going to be.) This series didn't look like it was related to Krentz's Arcane Society novels, but a connection is belatedly uncovered.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love Jayne Anne Krentz, This book (like her others) hooked me from the beginning and I only put it down once. The characters seem very real, despite their paranormal abilities. They only part that sometimes bothers me is how quickly the characters fall in love, but the are so likable it doesn't bother me as much as in other books. Her plots are so fast paced they keep my attention and inter stet, there is no time to get bored. Can't wait for the next, I love the connections, to her other books as well!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I've been a longtime reader of JAK's work and am both familiar and comfortable with her writing tendencies -- the "sleek" heroine, the hero in half-boots, the repeated descriptions of things being amber or gray, how she's so skilled at portraying dynamic characters who interact in (usually) delightful ways, how she's not so skilled at the mystery element (though saying that, I'm not a fan of the cozy mystery genre). In that sense, this book hits every note I expected. It doesn't really go beyond that, though.
