Book Review: A Dream Within A Dream

A Dream Within A Dream

Author: Mike Nappa and Melissa Kosci

Trudi Coffey only realizes that she hasn’t seen Samuel Hill in weeks when the FBI shows up asking questions about him. After a strange encounter with an armed man demanding her help and an attack by a member of the Boston mob looking for someone named Dream, Trudi manages to find Samuel–or rather, he finds her. He’s made some pretty powerful enemies, but right now his full attention is on protecting Dream from the mob. Because Dream has something they want–the map to the location of artwork stolen from the Gardener Museum during the infamous 1990 heist.
With danger closing in from all sides, Trudi and Samuel will have to call on all of their allies to keep Dream safe and discover the identity of the people who have been hunting down Samuel. The real questions are whom can they trust? And who will make it out of this thing alive?

My thoughts:

Walking into this book, I didn’t actually know that it was part of a series. I do think that if you want to read this one, definitely check out the rest of the series first because the beginning was a little confusing without.
That being said, this book wasn’t bad. It had a very intriguing plot, I love a good heist story! And the characters themselves weren’t bad either. They were rather relatable and fun and quirky.
All that being said, I found the book hard to get into. The writing style wasn’t bad, but it lacked for me and didn’t particularly encourage me to continue reading.
In the end, if you enjoy suspense novels with some art heists on the side, I highly recommend you pick this one up!
