Dream Doctor (The Dream Doctor Mysteries Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 214 ratings

Between adjusting to life as a newlywed and trying to survive the first month of medical school, Sara Alderson has a lot on her plate. She definitely doesn’t need to start visiting other people’s dreams again. Unfortunately for her, it’s happening anyway.

Every night, she sees a different person and a different dream. But every dreamer has one thing in common: they all hate Dr. Morris, the least popular professor in the medical school, and they’re all dreaming about seeing him – or making him – dead.

Once again, Sara finds herself in the role of unwilling witness to a murder before it happens. But this time, there are too many suspects to count, and it doesn’t help matters that she hates Dr. Morris every bit as much as any of his would-be murderers do.

Dream Doctor is the first book of the Dream Doctor Mysteries.

WINNER - 3rd PLACE - Paranormal Romance Guild 2013 Reviewer's Choice Awards - Best Novel, Paranormal Romance - Suspense.
WINNER - FIRST PLACE - Paranormal Romance Guild 2014 Reviewer's Choice Awards - Best Series, Paranormal Romance-Suspense

"The novel is carefully put together, and has a great pacing and flow between heartwarming, heartbreaking, and everything between. The author's academic background and research has clearly paid off in both the personal and social experiences of medical school. The book is an addictive read, and even if you skipped the first book, you'll be wanting to see where life takes Sara through the rest of the series when you hit the end."

    "Dream Doctor" is the sequel to "Dream Student." I have read both and am officially hooked by this series. "Doctor" is a tight follow up that gets straight into the story. If you've read Book 1, you will love revisiting Sara and Brian and their world, if you haven't, there's enough reference made to "Dream Student" that you won't be confused. But I suggest reading them sequentially. Sara and Brian are now married and living in the graduate building of Sara's medical school. He's working overtime to complete his bachelor's degree six months early, and she spends her days dissecting cadavers. At night they enjoy the excitement of being newlyweds. Sara starts having her psychic reveries again, in which she sees someone else's dreams. Not just one person's dreams this time. Her night visions hail from a few different people that seem to want one of her professors dead. The mystery story kicks in and Sara soon finds herself balancing her life between student, young wife and detective. DiBenedetto captures the voices of young grad students perfectly. Sara is a completely convincing character that should appeal to women and men equally. In general all the characters are well-defined. The prose is crisp and the plotting tight. It's hard to find a series that leaves you wanting more and I'm happy to have found a new one here. I will be moving on to "Dream Child" (Book 3) and "Dream Family" (Book 4) as soon as I have finished with this review.

    The Prequel is really a must if you want to understand the main characters and their motivations as well as love in this series. That said, this book begins with Sara's first year in medical school and her husband's last semester before a December graduation. Sara dreams, and again is able to enter the dreams of others. This time she isn't in the dreams of a murderer, rather, she's in the dreams of those who'd like a certain person to die. So what can she do? How can she protect the person so many would like to see dead? Other characters from the first book are also in this book as well as many new people. Sara is also able to save someone she had dreamed about, but that also brings up her involvement in saving the young girl from the first book. And that draws attention to her, and Sara isn't comfortable with that, or the many questions people have for her. Sara moves forward with her studies, classes, friends and husband...with the likely death of someone unless she can figure it all out. And without getting killed herself. I enjoyed this book very much!

    This is the sequel to the Dream Series. In this one, Sara is now in medical school. I really enjoyed this book. She’s still got the dreams that disturb her. Poor Sara is always trying to help. Will her dreams help her find the answers?
    What I really love is the support she gets from her husband. Their relationship is truly loving and tender. He compliments her well and is exactly what she needs in her chaotic life of medical school and unexplainable dreams.
    Also, I enjoyed the description of the medical classes that Sara attended. I felt that the author did a great job with his research and was spot on. It actually took me back to my school days since I had taken the same classes as well.
    Sara is truly a character to be loved. She tries to do the right thing and the suspense/mystery from her psychic abilities keeps it interesting.
    I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.

    *I received a free copy from Reading Deals in exchange for my honest review.

    Dream Doctor is the second book in the Dreams series by J.J. DiBenedetto. This one was a little better than the first book, because it has more conflict and action. But, it still had a huge problem of not having the character progress toward a goal.

    The main issue that Sara needs to deal with in the story is the dreams about people wanting to kill Dr. Morris. Unfortunately, she gets sidetracked with so many other things such as: her new neighbor who desires her husband, her friend whose mother dies of cancer, and a girl who gets injured while hiking. It takes until 72% of the way into the book before Sara tries to figure out who is trying to kill Dr. Morris.

    The good...

    I liked that it was easy for people to read this book, even if they haven't read the first book. I also liked how (when she finally acts) Sara puts the pieces together to figure out who the villain is. Another good thing about Dream Student is how well-developed the characters are. I cared about what was going on with each one of them, even if it didn't contribute to the main storyline. Additionally, I think the cover is great.

    The bad...

    I didn't like how Sara figured out what was wrong with her teacher. She basically piggybacks on someone else's work and then takes the credit for figuring it out. I also disliked how many of the dreams were memories. I have never met anyone who dreams exactly what they have done. It wasn't believable to me. If the author had said that Sara had a dream of what they had done (more like a vision), it would have been fine. But, saying that the other person is dreaming it and Sara is merely a spectator, doesn't seem real because I doubt they would dream memories.

    I could put aside those complaints. However, I can't put aside my complaint about the slow progress toward the story goal. The writing in this book is good. The plotting is not. Even if there are a lot of subplots in a book (like there is in this book), the main character should be doing something to work toward the main goal of the story. In Dream Student, the issue of Dr. Morris is mostly ignored until the end. Every now and then Sara has a dream about him, but she doesn't do anything about it. She is too wrapped up in all the other subplots.

    As a whole, the book isn't terrible. I did enjoy some aspects of it. I would recommend it to readers who like books that are more about characters' relationships than about any problem that needs to be figured out. Dream Student had the potential to be a great mystery, but it ended up being more of a story about relationships and the challenges of medical school. I will not be reading any more books in this series, but I don't want to discourage anyone from reading it. As long as you know what to expect, you might enjoy it.

    I give Dream Student 3.5 stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read
    Reviewed in Australia on August 22, 2015
    This is the second book of the 'Dreams' series which was a great read. However, this was even better.

    It is good to read a book with adult story lines and relationships that doesnt read like another raunchy soapie. It has a well developed storyline; a multitude of interesting characters; and although it addresses some aspects of the darker side of life, it doesn't get mean or nasty.

    Another great thing about this book is although it is part of a series you could easily read it as a standalone book and still thoroughly understand the storyline and fully enjoy the book. I totally recommend the first book though as it will flesh the story out more. Can't wait to read the next one.

    I really enjoyed this book.It might not be a brain teaser but it has a good tricky story line that comes to a surprising and also a happy outcome. What I like most about this story is that it's set out as if your reading the heroines dairy and it doesn't have to rely on smuttiness to sell the story. An excellent and enjoyable book and I'm looking forward to book3 in this series.
