Summary
Seven months ago， Pallas Llewellyn， Talia March， and Amelia Rivers were strangers， until their fateful stay at the Lucent Springs Hotel。 An earthquake and a fire partially destroyed the hotel， but the women have no memory of their time there。 Now close friends， the three women co-host a podcast called the Lost Night Files， where they investigate cold cases and hope to connect with others who may have had a similar experience to theirs—an experience that has somehow enhanced the psychic abilities already present in each woman。
After receiving a tip for their podcast， Pallas travels to the small college town of Carnelian， California， to explore an abandoned asylum。 Shaken by the dark energy she feels in the building， she is rushing out when she’s stopped by a dark figure—who turns out to be the women's mysterious tipster。
Ambrose Drake is certain he’s a witness to a murder， but without a body， everyone thinks he’s having delusions caused by extreme sleep deprivation。 But Ambrose is positive something terrible happened at the Carnelian Sleep Institute the night he was there。 Unable to find proof on his own， he approaches Pallas for help， only for her to realize that Ambrose， too， has a lost night that he can’t remember—one that may be connected to Pallas。 Pallas and Ambrose conduct their investigation using the podcast as a cover， and while the townsfolk are eager to share what they know， it turns out there are others who are not so happy about their questions—and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth from coming out。

A lost night ending in a radically changed life 4 strangers have the same experience and 2 of them Ambrose and Pallas end up in working together to find answers for Ambrose。 Lots of twists and turns until the truth starts to come to the surface。 Lots of sitting on the edge of your seat moments as they did deeper into the Sleep Institute to try and uncover what really happened there and manage to stay alive themselves at the same time。 Really Good Read。

*Source* NetGalley*Genre* Mystery / Suspense / Romance*Rating* 3*Thoughts*Kind of a let down。 Not very suspenseful at all。 Then there is the mysterious character and his daughter。 Apparently， each of these books are going to feature one of the women of the Lost Night Files podcast。

FINAL DECISION: The story is much more suspense than romance， although I really enjoyed that Pallas and Ambrose spent most of the book together doing their investigation。 I wish there were more relationship development， but I don't expect as much of that in Krentz's books now as I used to enjoy。 The story was really good and kept me engaged until the end。 Warning that this book leaves the big overarching story open for the rest of the series （what happened to the characters during the Lost Night FINAL DECISION: The story is much more suspense than romance， although I really enjoyed that Pallas and Ambrose spent most of the book together doing their investigation。 I wish there were more relationship development， but I don't expect as much of that in Krentz's books now as I used to enjoy。 The story was really good and kept me engaged until the end。 Warning that this book leaves the big overarching story open for the rest of the series （what happened to the characters during the Lost Night）， but the primary plot of the book is resolved。THE STORY: Pallas Llewellyn's life was turned upside down when she awoke at a hotel with no memory of what happened。 Two other women had the same experience。 The three have bonded in trying to determine what happened to them。 The three have the "Lost Night Files" podcast where they investigate unusual happenings in hopes of discovering what happened to them。 Ambrose Drake has had a similar experience as the three women at the Carnelian Sleep Clinic。 His experience was magnified because he believes that he saw a murder during his "lost night"。 Ambrose connects with Pallas t get her help in discovering what happened。 The two join forces to investigate what happened to them -- especially because each had a significant paranormal talent arise after the missing night。OPINION: This book has a similar theme to Krentz's last series， Fogg Lake， but I feel that she has improved just about everything in the series。 This book has more tension and drama， and suspense。 My only complaint is that there really isn't any drama between Ambrose and Pallas， so their relationship is not compelling at all。 Instead， it seems obvious from their first meeting that a relationship is inevitable。The suspense story here is well crafted as there were plenty of twists， but the twists make sense， and the foundation for them is developed throughout the story。My favorite part of this book， however， is that Ambrose and Pallas spend almost the entire book together。 It feels like a buddy book （with sex and romance， certainly）。 That might be what bothered me about their relationship。 It feels like a book that is part of the series where the main characters already have an ongoing relationship that turns romantic。 （Because I am primarily a romance reader， I prefer romance to suspense， but this book definitely leans on the suspense part）。 There definitely is equality between the characters and their importance in solving the mystery of the book。Both Pallas and Ambrose are suffering from the events of their lost night and dealing with their enhanced paranormal abilities。 Some of my favorite Krentz books are her paranormal ones because they have a different energy， and the book feels more engaging。 The paranormal abilities give the characters quirks that they have to deal with so the characters are changing as the story develops。 Pallas and Ambrose find acceptance in one another which helps their relationship during the book。We don't get much about the other characters who will be the focus of the other books in the series， so I'm looking forward to their stories。WORTH MENTIONING: I loved the Easter Eggs for fans of Krentz's universe， including Arcane and Burning Cove。CONNECTED BOOKS: SLEEP NO MORE is the first book in the Lost Night Files。STAR RATING: I give this book 4。5 stars。NOTE: I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley to permit me to prepare this review。 I was not required to write a review or to write a positive review。 All opinions contained herein are my own。 。。。more

SLEEP NO MORE is a thrilling romantic suspense novel by Jayne Ann Krentz。The story follows protagonist Charlotte Sawyer， a librarian with the ability to read other people's dreams。 When she begins experiencing vivid and disturbing dreams about a serial killer， she becomes convinced that she is connected to the case and sets out to solve the mystery。 Along the way， she meets a charming and enigmatic man named Max Cutler， who may have more to do with the case than he initially lets on。One of the s SLEEP NO MORE is a thrilling romantic suspense novel by Jayne Ann Krentz。The story follows protagonist Charlotte Sawyer， a librarian with the ability to read other people's dreams。 When she begins experiencing vivid and disturbing dreams about a serial killer， she becomes convinced that she is connected to the case and sets out to solve the mystery。 Along the way， she meets a charming and enigmatic man named Max Cutler， who may have more to do with the case than he initially lets on。One of the strengths of SLEEP NO MORE is its well-developed characters。 Charlotte is a likable and intelligent protagonist， and Max is a complex and mysterious love interest。 The chemistry between the two leads is palpable， and their relationship adds an extra layer of tension to the already suspenseful plot。Krentz's writing is crisp and engaging， and she does an excellent job of building tension and keeping the reader guessing。 The plot is complex and well-crafted， with plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting。 The resolution of the mystery is satisfying and well-done， and the romance between Charlotte and Max is sweet and believable。 。。。more

sleep no moreThe first chapter starts out wonky。 It was hard to follow the thread。 But this is a JAK novel。 It may be wonky now but by the end of the first chapter I was hooked。 I liked the h/h。 Both were likable and felt like they could be real。 But I never really connected。 I loved the story。 I loved the twists and turns in the storylines。 All in all another great book。 Can’t wait until the next comes out。

A new Jayne Ann Krentz series gives us mysteries on top of mysteries， friendship， and romance。 Sleep No More starts things off by introducing us to three friends: Pallas Llewellyn， Talia March， and Amelia Rivers- none of whom had met before going to a job at the Lucent Springs Hotel。 They left the hotel not only best friends， but without remembering what happened to them overnight- and all three now possessing enhanced psychic powers。 Pallas can enter a waking trance state and draw what she sees A new Jayne Ann Krentz series gives us mysteries on top of mysteries， friendship， and romance。 Sleep No More starts things off by introducing us to three friends: Pallas Llewellyn， Talia March， and Amelia Rivers- none of whom had met before going to a job at the Lucent Springs Hotel。 They left the hotel not only best friends， but without remembering what happened to them overnight- and all three now possessing enhanced psychic powers。 Pallas can enter a waking trance state and draw what she sees in the energy， although it isn't always easy to translate what that means。 The three friends now run a podcast to reach others who have lost nights with possible paranormal connections and Amrose Drake is sure he has a case for them: his own。Ambrose has actually lost two nights， but on one of them he's pretty sure he saw a woman murdered。 Or at least her body being carried off。 No one will believe him without a body， but Pallas does and the two start investigating the town of Carnelian。 Using the podcast as a cover they look into the Carnelian Sleep Institute， and plenty of locals are willing to share gossip on the odd doctor who runs it。 The Institute may or may not be a legitimate sleep study clinic， but it certainly has somethings going on and may connect to not only Ambrose's lost nights but his own enhanced psychic powers。 I really enjoyed Pallas （loved her name！） and Ambrose， partly for how completely out of their depth they were。 They weren't like Krentz's other psychic characters who have been psychic all their lives and are used to using their gifts as just part of their normal range of talents。 They may have had 'sensitivities' all their lives but only turned into psychics with full blown powers after their 'lost nights'。 Having to adjust to a "new normal" has been difficult and they've been handling it as well as possible。 Pallas had it a little easier because she had two friends with similar experiences she could talk to， Ambrose had to deal with everything alone and ended up questioning his sanity a lot along the way。 That "psychic mystery" will be the overarching one to tie the three books together and I think Krentz set things up really well here。 We got enough breadcrumbs to want more but no where near enough to figure out what was going on。 The "individual mystery" felt personal since Ambrose needed to know the murders had happened as much for his sanity as anything else， so he had a really stake in it from the beginning。 Otherwise it will feel familiar to Krentz fans: the small town， quirky characters， and slow burn romance over the developing partnership of Pallas and Ambrose。 Krentz's trademark humor help the characters get through some harrowing situations and I enjoyed the book very much。 I can't wait for the next one in the series！ 。。。more

Sleep No More by Jayne Ann Krentz is the first book in her new the Lost Night Files series。 We meet our heroine， Pallas Llewellyn， from the start。 Many months ago， Pallas was staying at the Lucent Springs Hotel， when an earthquake and fire literally destroyed the hotel。 Pallas， and two other women came out of this with no memory of being there; as well as each having enhanced paranormal abilities。 Pallas joins with the other two ladies， Talia March and Amelia Rivers to start a podcast called the Sleep No More by Jayne Ann Krentz is the first book in her new the Lost Night Files series。 We meet our heroine， Pallas Llewellyn， from the start。 Many months ago， Pallas was staying at the Lucent Springs Hotel， when an earthquake and fire literally destroyed the hotel。 Pallas， and two other women came out of this with no memory of being there; as well as each having enhanced paranormal abilities。 Pallas joins with the other two ladies， Talia March and Amelia Rivers to start a podcast called the Lost Night Files; investigating strange unexpected events， or cold cases。During a podcast， someone gives a tip， and Pallas decides to travel to Carnelian， California to investigate the abandoned asylum。 When she steps into the building， she is shaken by the dark energy， and meets a stranger， who happens to be the person with the tip。Ambrose Drake， our hero， has also had a bad experience at a Carnelian Sleep Clinic， and swears that someone was murdered， since during sleep treatment， he heard a scream。 No one believes him， saying it was a dream nightmare。 Ambrose tells Pallas， he cannot remember that one night in the clinic， but it still haunts him; and he wants her to help him investigate what really happened。At first Pallas， doesn’t believe Ambrose， until she feels his psychic energies， and realizes he too has had lost a night， which he cannot remember。 They join together to learn more about what happened at the asylum; interviewing people and learning more， which could involve others。 Was there a connection about both incidents， and who was behind it？ What follows is an exciting and compelling storyline， that had me unable to put the book down。 Slowly， Pallas and Ambrose begin to not only feel the psychic energies between them， but slow build romance begins。 As they get more information， the danger escalates， as they become targets to whomever wants to stop them。 Sleep No More was so well written by Jayne Ann Krentz， with wonderful characters， filled with nonstop action， in a fantastic paranormal mystery。 To tell too much more would be spoilers， and I do not want to ruin the story for you。 I look forward to the next two books in this trilogy， with both Talia and Amelia having their own storylines。 I suggest you read Sleep No More， as it was a great read。BarbThe Reading Cafe 。。。more

Another series from the talented pen of Jayne Ann Krentz brings a new eerie， sometimes atmospheric tale involving an asylum’s dark history， a weird psychic phenomenon out in the desert， suspicious characters who form a partnership to get at the truth， and a diabolical plot at the heart of it all。My full review will post at The Reading Frenzy TBA。

This was the first book in Krentz's The Lost Night Files trilogy。 Three women had an unusual experience one night。 Strangers until their lost night， Pallas， Talia， and Amelia have banded together to support each other since the night seems to have enhanced their psychic gifts。 They have begun a podcast which explores unusual things。 Ambrose Drake is a writer who also experienced a lost night which also enhanced his psychic gifts。 But without support， he has been afraid that he is losing his mind This was the first book in Krentz's The Lost Night Files trilogy。 Three women had an unusual experience one night。 Strangers until their lost night， Pallas， Talia， and Amelia have banded together to support each other since the night seems to have enhanced their psychic gifts。 They have begun a podcast which explores unusual things。 Ambrose Drake is a writer who also experienced a lost night which also enhanced his psychic gifts。 But without support， he has been afraid that he is losing his mind。 He knows that he has developed insomnia to keep him from sleepwalking himself into danger。 When he spends that night at a clinic that specializes in sleep disorders and thinks that he witnessed a murder， he calls on the ladies of the Lost Night podcast to help him investigate。Pallas answers his call which takes her to Carnelian， California， where the sleep clinic is and where there is also an old， abandoned asylum。 Their first meeting doesn't seem propitious。 She is frightened by him and by the atmosphere of the old asylum。 Where Ambrose has an enhanced ability to see auras and take fast action based on what he sees， Pallas uses a sort of dream state to do automatic drawings which show her the past in a cryptic sort of way。 She also can feel emotions in places and has been getting clumsier as she tries to avoid hot spots only she can sense。 She can also use her new paranormal senses to calm violent emotions of the person with the emotions is touching her。 She is an interior decorator who uses her gift to fine tune spaces。 Both of them have lost relationships because of their new gifts， though Pallas's ex has followed her to Carnelian to propose a new business venture。 Their relationship broke down when she scared him with her gift。 Pallas and Ambrose find more than they bargained for in Carnelian。 A shady sleep clinic， a drug ring， a college teetering on the edge of disaster， and a few assorted murders should make it hard for anyone to find a new relationship， but Pallas and Ambrose to fall in love and find lots of answers。 Because this is the first book in a trilogy， there are still lots of answers to be found。 Why is someone using illegal drugs and experiments to enhance psychic gifts？ How were the people who were enhanced found and chosen for these experiments？ We will need to wait for Talia and Amelia's stories to find the answers。 This was an engaging romantic suspense story with interesting characters。 I liked the relationship between Ambrose and Pallas who are both determined to find answers。 。。。more

The first book in a new series （The Lost Night Files） by JAK， it doesn't disappoint。 While not her best， the story and characters are still very engaging。 Three women who lost their memories of their night at the Lucent Springs Hotel， now co-host a podcast， which investigates cold cases。 They have acquired enhanced psychic abilities since then。 This book follows the story of Pallas， one of these women and Ambrose Drake， who asks for her help in investigating a possible murder。 Ambrose also has e The first book in a new series （The Lost Night Files） by JAK， it doesn't disappoint。 While not her best， the story and characters are still very engaging。 Three women who lost their memories of their night at the Lucent Springs Hotel， now co-host a podcast， which investigates cold cases。 They have acquired enhanced psychic abilities since then。 This book follows the story of Pallas， one of these women and Ambrose Drake， who asks for her help in investigating a possible murder。 Ambrose also has enhanced psychic capabilities and as they investigate the potential murder， someone （or someones） tries to kill them。 It is an interesting read and I connected with both protagonists， especially Ambrose who is afraid to sleep as he fears nightmares and sleepwalking。 It was good to read about a "hero" who had flaws as that made him more human and relatable。 Overall a good read that I would recommend to any fan of JAK。 。。。more

The Lost Night Files trilogy focuses on Pallas Llewellyn， Talia March， and Amelia Rivers， complete strangers who were drawn to the Lucent Springs Hotel， only to awaken the next morning with no memories of what occurred。 Each woman had physic abilities， but after that evening， their skills were enhanced。 The three have set up a podcast investigating similar stories in search of answers。 Sleep No More focuses on Pallas Llewellyn who travels to the small college town of Carnelian， California after The Lost Night Files trilogy focuses on Pallas Llewellyn， Talia March， and Amelia Rivers， complete strangers who were drawn to the Lucent Springs Hotel， only to awaken the next morning with no memories of what occurred。 Each woman had physic abilities， but after that evening， their skills were enhanced。 The three have set up a podcast investigating similar stories in search of answers。 Sleep No More focuses on Pallas Llewellyn who travels to the small college town of Carnelian， California after receiving a tip。Ambrose Drake believes he witnessed the murder of a woman， but he is suffering from sleep deprivation and sharing that information will only make him look more unhinged。 Unable to find proof on his own， he reaches out to The Lost Night Files， and sets up a meeting at an abandon asylum。 The tale that unfolds delivers suspense， shocking discoveries and a slow burning romance as Ambrose & Pallas work to uncover what really happened during Ambrose’s sleep study。I am loving the premise behind the podcast， and the abilities both Pallas and Ambrose possess。 She can sense energy and draws in awaken dream state。 Ambrose has an uncanny ability to read auras and sense things before they happen。Krentz does a wonderful job of delivering a suspenseful story while laying the groundwork for the overall trilogy arc。 Those familiar with her work will feel right at home with the paranormal elements and abilities。 Mentions of familiar places and the mystery regarding the missing memories will trigger memories of previous books， people， and events。 Not to worry if you haven’t read her previous works， Krentz just uses Easter eggs。The romance was a slow burn as Pallas and Ambrose build trust， understanding and help each other。 I liked them both and their actions， connections and development felt genuine。The mystery wrapped up but still left us looking for answers regarding the overall story arc。 I closed the book satisfied but eager for the next book in the trilogy。 This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer 。。。more
