About this listen

Six friends. One college reunion. One unsolved murder.

Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to her Southern, elite Duquette University, down to the envious whispers that are sure to follow in her wake. Everyone is going to see the girl she wants them to see - confident, beautiful, indifferent. Not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather Shelby's murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she'd been closest to since freshman year.

But not everyone is ready to move on. Not everyone left Duquette 10 years ago, and not everyone can let Heather's murder go unsolved. Someone is determined to trap the real killer, to make the guilty pay. When the six friends are reunited, they will be forced to confront what happened that night - and the years' worth of secrets each of them would do anything to keep hidden.

Told in racing dual timelines, with a dark campus setting and a darker look at friendship, love, obsession, and ambition, In My Dreams I Hold a Knife is an addictive, propulsive story.

Psychological mystery is a big win

This Psychological mystery is a big win! I loved this book. In the beginning, it read more like a YA novel but the sinister and brutal murder and revenge quickly make it so much better than that. I love the little twists throughout, the unveiling of the truth- little by little. I highly recommend this novel!

Oh the twists & turns!

I didn’t love the main character in the beginning but I guess you’re not supposed to. This book was so good!

so Many twists!!

i normally don't leave reviews but I HAD to for this book! oh my goodness. it was a little slow in the beginning as Jess always seemed to be whining about her desire for perfection and to be admired by everyone she meets but man oh man!! this was such a good listen. the narrator was on point with her inflections and performance. the twists keep coming until the very end!!

Meh

It was ok. I think the fact she was so fixed on what she was in college and Greek life ruined it for me

College Obsession

The story is centered around a college group of friends. Even as adults, college friendships and secrets are the only things that matter. The chapters alternate between the present and the past.

I can’t even count the twists

Well performance was great I love her voice and story telling. But this story was awesome. From the first few chapters I knew this was gonna be good. The lives of these people was just crazy and the 575 plot twists ?! Just when I was sure I solved it you get hit with another twist! Even the last but just shook me. This book deserves a lot of hype but it’s my goal to only give five stars to the best of the best. With that said this was fun, twisty a bit New adult no spice but the right amount of goodies. Will definitely read more from this author!!

Good read

Overall the story kept me engaged with twists and turns. I truly didn’t find the main character likable but I am unsure if that was purposeful.
