Summary
Listening Length: 9 hours and 20 minutes
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。

Another slick and smart book by JAK， this one the first of a trilogy。 As always， the main characters are intelligent， good and attracted to each other's "differences" with low steam。 Another slick and smart book by JAK， this one the first of a trilogy。 As always， the main characters are intelligent， good and attracted to each other's "differences" with low steam。 。。。more

Sleep No More may be the title of this newest Jayne Ann Krentz novel but it was also what happened to me once I turned to the first page and began reading。 Krentz plunged me straight into the heart of the pulse-pounding action of this story and had me completely hooked before I reached page ten。 And then she kept me hooked， guessing how it would all turn out， through unexpected twists and turns right up until the final scene。 There would be no sleep for me until all of my questions were answered Sleep No More may be the title of this newest Jayne Ann Krentz novel but it was also what happened to me once I turned to the first page and began reading。 Krentz plunged me straight into the heart of the pulse-pounding action of this story and had me completely hooked before I reached page ten。 And then she kept me hooked， guessing how it would all turn out， through unexpected twists and turns right up until the final scene。 There would be no sleep for me until all of my questions were answered！There are many things I enjoy about a Jayne Ann Krentz book。 Her characters are complex and multi-layered; it usually takes me an entire book to figure them out。 Her plots are twisty and， again， rarely do I guess the final outcome before the reveal。 Her attention to detail is superb， creating an atmosphere that highlights both the suspense and romance。 But what I find most fascinating about these novels is the fine line the author navigates between fact and fiction， between reality and possibility。 The psychic/paranormal elements of these romantic suspense novels， while clearly fiction （Are they， though？ Really？）， walk that line， leaving me swinging between thoughts of "This could never happen" and "Whoa， what do I really know about that sleep clinic I made an appointment with？" She creates an immersive reading experience where it's all too easy to place myself in the positions of Pallas and Ambrose， thereby heightening both my enjoyment and my reader anxiety as I navigate the murky， murderous waters of Sleep No More。 Sleep No More is the first book in Krentz's new trilogy and a great place to begin if you're new to her writing。 The romantic （and mystery） portion of Pallas and Ambrose's story is completed with this first book though there is an overarching mystery which will continue through the next two books in the series。 I can't wait to find out how it will all play out。 Top Dish ReviewAdvance copy received for fair and unbiased review 。。。more

So what happens when you put two psychics together？ The energy sparks of course！ I I like this as a start to the series however I do wish it had a bit more energy to the plot。 It seemed as if the story was picking up speed and then would lose some steam。 There was definitely potential for some faster pace。 I haven’t read this author in a while so maybe I don’t quite remember if all her books tend to take time to develop。 I do however love the overarching plot that will play out in the future boo So what happens when you put two psychics together？ The energy sparks of course！ I I like this as a start to the series however I do wish it had a bit more energy to the plot。 It seemed as if the story was picking up speed and then would lose some steam。 There was definitely potential for some faster pace。 I haven’t read this author in a while so maybe I don’t quite remember if all her books tend to take time to develop。 I do however love the overarching plot that will play out in the future books and will look for them when they are released。The story is definitely higher on the paranormal mystery side than the romance which suits some readers。 Overall it was a little lacking in the chemistry department for me。Heat -🔥 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book！ I am definitely going to be looking forward to the next ones！ Just creepy enough to give you a tiny adrenaline rush， but at the same time kind of chill and relaxed。 Not too many answers yet， but I'm thinking we'll get them by the end of the trilogy。 I really enjoyed this book！ I am definitely going to be looking forward to the next ones！ Just creepy enough to give you a tiny adrenaline rush， but at the same time kind of chill and relaxed。 Not too many answers yet， but I'm thinking we'll get them by the end of the trilogy。 。。。more

First book in a new series titled the Lost Night Lies trilogy。 This novel defines after three women stayed at a hotel and all suffered partial amnesia such that none of them have a clear memory of what transpired， but they all felt they were abducted and subsequently the hotel caught fire。 Their minimal psychic talents were enhanced after that night but so has been their sense of foreboding and danger。 They now cohost a podcast as a way to connect to others who may have a similar experience and First book in a new series titled the Lost Night Lies trilogy。 This novel defines after three women stayed at a hotel and all suffered partial amnesia such that none of them have a clear memory of what transpired， but they all felt they were abducted and subsequently the hotel caught fire。 Their minimal psychic talents were enhanced after that night but so has been their sense of foreboding and danger。 They now cohost a podcast as a way to connect to others who may have a similar experience and the story begins after they are contacted by a tipster who also believes he experienced a horrific event and that he was also the unwilling subject of some type of psychic experiment。 。。。more

Pallas Llewelyn and two other young women used their podcast， The Lost Night Files， to hunt for answers to the disturbing incident that brought them together。 In her research， Pallas meets insomniac mystery author Ambrose Drake， who is seeking answers about his own experience of lost time and new psychic ability。 Exciting， creepy， and entertaining。

This is a hard book for me to review and grade。 It’s the first entry in Jayne Ann Krentz’s （JAK） new trilogy featuring three women who were strangers until they went through an earthquake and fire at a hotel， and then had no memory of their time at the hotel but came away with enhanced psychic abilities。 The three women now co-host a podcast in which they investigate cold cases and try to connect with others who have enhanced psychic abilities。Years ago， JAK was the author who got me into readin This is a hard book for me to review and grade。 It’s the first entry in Jayne Ann Krentz’s （JAK） new trilogy featuring three women who were strangers until they went through an earthquake and fire at a hotel， and then had no memory of their time at the hotel but came away with enhanced psychic abilities。 The three women now co-host a podcast in which they investigate cold cases and try to connect with others who have enhanced psychic abilities。Years ago， JAK was the author who got me into reading romance， and she’s remained a favorite。 However， after reading the first few pages of Sleep No More， I considered putting it down; it absolutely didn’t hold my interest。 But knowing the author was JAK， I decided to keep reading。 For about the first third of the book I considered turning it into a DNF， which has never happened to me with one of the author’s books。 The beginning of the book was dominated by lengthy descriptions of the psychic trances/nightmares of the hero and heroine， which did not work for me。 Finally， at about the 60% mark I became interested in the mystery and decided to stick with the book， but I still didn’t have a strong investment in the lead characters， normally my favorite part of one of the author’s books。 The “romance” was slow to develop。 Normally the attraction between JAK’s hero and heroine is apparent nearly immediately。 In this one， at well over the halfway point， they hadn’t even shared a kiss。 While I’ve classified this as “romantic suspense，” I would lean towards paranormal suspense with some romantic elements。 Both the hero and heroine are suffering from changes that occurred to their psychic abilities after brief periods of amnesia。 Ambrose writes thrillers with a lot of gothic-horror twists but is currently unable to function。 He’s not your typical gorgeous hero; he’s a mess， unable to sleep， eat， or do much of anything。 Pallas was some type of psychic interior designer before her episode， but now can’t do her regular job。 She definitely seems more in control than Ambrose， although she’s startled and frightened by minor noises。 I warmed much more to Ambrose than to Pallas。 And her two colleagues on the podcast appear only briefly on calls。I hope the remaining books in the trilogy focus more on the characters， more on the romance， more on the mystery， and far less on psychic abilities， particularly less of lengthy descriptions of the lead characters’ abilities。 The balance was completely off for me in this one。 I’ve now made a note in my calendar to wait a few months before picking up the second in the series， and to read reviews from others to see how that one plays out。 This was just mediocre for me at best， and I would give it a C- so 3 stars here。 If I hadn’t eventually become interested in the mystery， the grade would have been much lower。 。。。more

Fine。 The balance between finishing the story but leaving more for the other books trends towards leaving too much unfinished。 But it is the first of three so that is understandable。

The book had a decent， interesting plot and a good amount of suspense but I constantly felt like I was missing something， and not in a intriguing way。A feeling of confusion from jumping from one scene to another with little meaning or understanding。 And at times the writing was super basic。And the back-story about Catherine Carnelian was so predictable that when we get to the grand reveal I was already scoffing。Pallas is a podcaster with some weird talent and Ambrose is a writer who can see huma The book had a decent， interesting plot and a good amount of suspense but I constantly felt like I was missing something， and not in a intriguing way。A feeling of confusion from jumping from one scene to another with little meaning or understanding。 And at times the writing was super basic。And the back-story about Catherine Carnelian was so predictable that when we get to the grand reveal I was already scoffing。Pallas is a podcaster with some weird talent and Ambrose is a writer who can see human auras and they're forced to work together to unveil the mystery。 The chemistry between the leads was insipid and the forced romance boring and unappealing。The book did catch my interest and that's why I finished it。 It has many mystery plots， characters with amnesia， some psychic abilities， murders， a group of friends with a podcast and a few cold cases。 。。。more

Pallas Llewellyn， Talia March， and Amelia Rivers are good friends who started a podcast called the Lost Night Files where they investigate unusual cold cases。 But seven months ago， they were strangers who were at the Lucent Springs Hotel and lost a night of their lives。 With no memories and no evidence， they realize that each of them has psychic abilities that were enhanced after that night。 Now， they hope to connect with others who have had similar experiences。 After receiving a tip， Pallas goe Pallas Llewellyn， Talia March， and Amelia Rivers are good friends who started a podcast called the Lost Night Files where they investigate unusual cold cases。 But seven months ago， they were strangers who were at the Lucent Springs Hotel and lost a night of their lives。 With no memories and no evidence， they realize that each of them has psychic abilities that were enhanced after that night。 Now， they hope to connect with others who have had similar experiences。 After receiving a tip， Pallas goes to Carnelian， California and is exploring an abandoned asylum。 Disturbed by the energy there， she rushes out and runs into her tipster。Ambrose Drake is sure he saw a murder the night he spent in a small sleep clinic in Carnelian but there's no proof and he was told that he was dreaming and sleep walking。 As he and Palla investigate together， she learns that Ambrose also experienced a night he doesn't remember。 As they search for answers it soon becomes clear that someone wants to leave the truth buried。I love Jayne Ann Krentz as an author and this book's a prime example of why。 First in a new series， this book's well-written with well-rounded characters and a fast-paced plot that will absolutely pull you in。 I was hooked on this riveting read from the beginning and didn't want to put it down。 It's a definite must-read！ Pallas and Ambrose were great together and I loved how their relationship evolved。 There's romance， intrigue， suspense， and some drama in this story which has left me very eager for the next book。 I highly recommend Sleep No More and suggest you wait to read it when you have plenty of time because you won't want to be interrupted。 。。。more
