Paranoia or threat, dream or reality --James Patterson's latest thriller draws the reader in with its unique plot. Unfortunately, the novel doesn't deliver an ending.

Kristin Burns is a twenty-something New Yorker, striving to become an art photographer, while holding down a day job as a nanny to two adorable kids with a stereotypical, uncaring and unpleasant step-mom. The reader meets her in the middle of a dream, a fearsome dream involving three deaths and one near-death. When she comes across the same scene the next morning on the way to work, the line between dream and reality becomes even murkier.

Naughty and Nice

The bright spots in Kristin's life are her photography (she's never far from her camera), her two daytime wards--the Turnbull kids, and her stockbroker boyfriend. Did I mention that her boyfriend, Michael, is married--to her employer? Of course, everyone's got a secret or two and Kristin is no exception. But the line between passion and obsession is a very fine one and that's the space that Patterson's latest novel seeks to explore

You've been nice, very nice.

Kristin Burns has lived her life by the philosophy "Don't think, just shoot" – pictures, that is.  Struggling to make ends meet, she works full-time as the nanny for the fabulously wealthy Turnbull family, looking after their two wonderful children and waiting for her glamorous life as a New York photographer to begin. When her photographs are considered by an elite Manhattan art gallery, it seems she might finally get the chance that will start her career.

You've been naughty, very naughty.

But Kristin has a major distraction: forbidden love. The man of her dreams is almost hers for keeps.  Breathless with an inexhaustible passion and the excitement of being within reach of her goals, Kristen ignores all signs of catastrophe brewing.

Now you've been warned.

Fear exists for a reason. And Kristin can only dismiss the warnings for so long. Searching desperately for the truth through the lens of her camera, she can only hope that it's not too late. This novel of psychological suspense is a stunning new achievement for thriller master James Patterson, "one of the bestselling writers in history" (New York Sun).

Amy's Review:This book was a good book.  It reminded me a bit of the movie the Sixth Sense because she was seeing dead people.  It definately kept my curiousity and kept me reading because I wanted to see what happened and whose hand was sticking out of the fourth body bag in her dream.  I would recommend this book.
