Can Lira break the chains of her nightmares?

Haunted by vivid dreams, Lira Somers finds herself caught in nightmares about Lenora, the little old lady from her past investigation. Each fiery vision has Lenora inching closer to the flames, urging Lira to act fast before the nightmares become reality.

As Lira uncovers secrets, she leans on Detective Tomas Heinz more than ever. Together, they unravel clues that lead them down a treacherous path, but just as Lira begins to trust Tomas, the man from her dreams appears, threatening to upend everything she thought she knew.

My new favorite mystery series. Lira Sommers is a no-nonsense, lovable hot-head with a traumatic past that is perfectly imperfect on so many levels. If you love mystery, messy characters, and a touch of romance, this book is for you. Bullard makes you fall in love with her characters through gripping storytelling that makes it so hard to put down. Lira battles such human inner-conflict that is further complicated by dreams she can't decide are real or fiction. The wrestle between needing people to listen and "am I crazy?" is so compelling. Not to mention Detective Tomas, the calm in her proverbial storm. He's smart, attractive, and supportive in a way that makes you beg for him to hurry up and kiss the girl. For me, this was 5 out of 5 stars, highly recommend to people who love mysteries, romance, and a hint of the paranormal.
