When She Dreams by Amanda Quick is the 6th book in her wonderful Burning Cove series。 This series takes place during the 1930’s in the small town of Burning Cove， California。 Some of the recurring characters we have met in the previous books continue to have secondary roles， as we return to Burning Cove。 We meet Maggie Lodge， our heroine， who is a lucid dreamer， and has been drugged by her physic therapist， and manages to escape。 Two years pass， with Maggie being an assistant to the famous advic When She Dreams by Amanda Quick is the 6th book in her wonderful Burning Cove series。 This series takes place during the 1930’s in the small town of Burning Cove， California。 Some of the recurring characters we have met in the previous books continue to have secondary roles， as we return to Burning Cove。 We meet Maggie Lodge， our heroine， who is a lucid dreamer， and has been drugged by her physic therapist， and manages to escape。 Two years pass， with Maggie being an assistant to the famous advice columnist， Aunt Cornelia。 With Cornelia away on a cruise， Maggie hires a private investigator， to help find out who is sending Aunt Cornelia blackmail threats。 Sam Sage， our hero， is a former cop， and now a private eye; he accepts the job offer from Maggie， though he finds her dream escapades a bit weird。 They begin to work together， as Maggie insists to be part of his investigation; along the way， Sam will learn more about these lucid dreamers， and the organization that is trying to prove that they are real。 Sam also gets to see first-hand， when Maggie has some visions， and a slow burn romance will begin between them。 They both decide to go to Burning Cove to attend the conference on psychic dreaming， led by the leaders of the Physic Dreaming organization， as well as the man who tried to drug Maggie。 When someone impersonates Aunt Cornelia， all hell breaks loose， as a woman is found murdered， with a murder from the past opening the doors to another murder， with a ruthless killer on the loose。 Secrets are revealed， and Sam contacts Raina Kirk and Luther Pell （in our previous books） to help with his investigation。 Sam is also concerned that Maggie’s life is in danger， as things escalate。 What follows is an exciting， intriguing， intense and suspenseful story that has a number of surprises and twists。 I do not want to give spoilers， saying anything more would ruin the book for you。 When She Dreams was fast paced， enthralling， with a romantic couple whose chemistry was sizzling。Amanda Quick once again gives us a complex mystery that had a bit of everything in this glamorous historical world of 1930’s。 I suggest you start this series from the beginning to enjoy the setting of this series， as well as meet some very good characters。 However， each book does read very well as a standalone。BarbThe Reading Cafe 。。。more

Thank you to NetGalley， Ms。 Quick， and Berkley Books for the opportunity to read an ARC of When She Dreams。 An honest review was requested but not required。 When She Dreams features characters that I don’t remember reading about in previous Burning Cove installments: Sam Sage， private detective and disgraced former LA cop， and Margaret （Maggie） Lodge， assistant to and stand-in for the traveling celebrity advice columnist Aunt Cornelia， writer， and “lucid dreamer”。 The best part of this story was Thank you to NetGalley， Ms。 Quick， and Berkley Books for the opportunity to read an ARC of When She Dreams。 An honest review was requested but not required。 When She Dreams features characters that I don’t remember reading about in previous Burning Cove installments: Sam Sage， private detective and disgraced former LA cop， and Margaret （Maggie） Lodge， assistant to and stand-in for the traveling celebrity advice columnist Aunt Cornelia， writer， and “lucid dreamer”。 The best part of this story was the mystery， or the multiple mysteries， I should say。 Who was trying to blackmail Aunt Cornelia？ Who killed Beverly Nevins and Virginia Jennaway？ What is Doctor Oxlade up to？ What roles do Arthur and Dolores Guilfoyle play in everything？ Who tried to kill Sam？ There was a lot going on and Maggie and Sam prove to be a very good detective team。 I also enjoyed the 1930s setting， which is an underused time period in my opinion。Unfortunately， the romance between Maggie and Sam （this is not a spoiler， if you’ve ever read an Amanda Quick book before） seemed abrupt and somewhat clinical。 I never really got the impression that anything more was going on between them besides convenience – he was there， she was there， they were in the mood， etc。 There was more “spark” between Raina and Luther in their single cameo scene together than in Maggie and Sam’s entire relationship。 I also wish there had been a little bit more done with Maggie’s lucid dreaming talent。 I kept expecting her to use it over the course of the story， but unless I missed it， I don’t think she did。 That was a little disappointing。 I was mildly surprised by the whodunnit， although I will say I’m not a reader who typically tries to parse out all the clues in order to beat the main characters to the conclusion。 I prefer being taken on the ride， so to speak。 However， the star attraction of this book was definitely the mystery rather than the romance， so I’m happy to report that the mystery was a good one。 Now: when are we getting Luther and Raina’s book？ 。。。more

Terrific。 A real page-turner。 Characters were well-developed and relatable。 Always nice when a few faces from previous books appear。 I hope Maggie and Sam come back to Burning Cove to be tangential to the next book。。

When She Dreams is the latest in Amanda Quick's 'Burning Cove' series。 I admittedly have not read the previous books in the series， but I don't know that they're necessary to fully immerse yourself in the world and to understand the story。 I do believe it was enough to get me VERY curious about the rest of the characters and the world of Burning Cove！This book follows the story of Maggie Lodge， the assistant to advice columnist， Dear Aunt Cornelia - when she receives a blackmail threat meant for When She Dreams is the latest in Amanda Quick's 'Burning Cove' series。 I admittedly have not read the previous books in the series， but I don't know that they're necessary to fully immerse yourself in the world and to understand the story。 I do believe it was enough to get me VERY curious about the rest of the characters and the world of Burning Cove！This book follows the story of Maggie Lodge， the assistant to advice columnist， Dear Aunt Cornelia - when she receives a blackmail threat meant for her employer。 Maggie is a gifted woman， and lucid dreamer。 Very curious about the gift she has and having spent many years exploring this， being accused of female hysteria and fragile nerves， she is DETERMINED to find answers and hopefully thwart this blackmailer in the process。Enter private investigator， Sam Sage。 Who ends up being her last hope for assistance in this case， and also happens to not jump to the easiest conclusion about Maggie's talents （again， fragile female nerves and hysteria）。 He's a classic PI vibe but incredibly sweet underneath his professional exterior。 This book was full of suspense， romance， and a touch of paranormal tales。 I genuinely didn't know what to expect going into this story and I found it wildly entertaining。 For me， I had hoped there would be a tiny bit more romance but what was here fit with the story and progression so well。 The way Maggie had to deal with defending herself was very much a product of the times （1930s） and while it's upsetting to read， it was very much how things ran back then。All in all， I really enjoyed this book and want to read the rest。 Thank you to NetGalley， the publisher and author for this eArc in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

When She Dreams by Amanda Quick （aka Jayne Ann Krentz） is the newest installment in her Burning Cove series， set in the backdrop of balmy Southern California。 References are made to the time period， taking place after World War I and during the Classic Age of Hollywood。 The style of writing and the language of the characters have a modern 21st century lingo。 Even the clothing worn by the characters are relatable to 21st century fashions， but the plot themes refer to early 20th century's film noi When She Dreams by Amanda Quick （aka Jayne Ann Krentz） is the newest installment in her Burning Cove series， set in the backdrop of balmy Southern California。 References are made to the time period， taking place after World War I and during the Classic Age of Hollywood。 The style of writing and the language of the characters have a modern 21st century lingo。 Even the clothing worn by the characters are relatable to 21st century fashions， but the plot themes refer to early 20th century's film noir and suspense thriller tropes， which give the story an authentic historical feel。Maggie Lodge， the main character， is described as a lucid dreamer。 Like many characters from Quick's Arcane Society series such as Leona Hewitt from The Third Circle and Adelaide Pyne from Burning Lamp， Lodge can help people who suffer from nightmares， providing them with options to pull themselves out of their private hellscapes。 She is on the trail of a blackmailer who is threatening her employer。 It's a situation that does not convince readers it is Lodge who should be investigating the matter， but it is a circumstance that will hamper the read if it’s scrutinized。 It does not harm the reading experience to let Quick continue taking the reader along this path。 It brings Lodge and her hero together。The hero in the story， Sam Sage， is referred to as a Sam Spade type of private investigator from the film and book The Maltese Falcon。 If readers haven't seen The Maltese Falcon， Sage will give them a relatable impression of the character。 A litany of secondary characters interacting with Lodge and Sage keep the plot moving。 Readers go through twists and turns that sometimes don't give them a good grasp of the connections to the blackmail investigation， complicated by a string of murders。 However， the ending connects all the loose ends and gives readers a satisfied conclusion。 Justice does indeed prevail in Quick-like style。The Burning Cove series is very different from Quick's previous historical series in its writing style， clothing fashions， and attitudes of the characters。 What Quick continues to achieve is spacing intelligent surprises along the plot at poignant moments， so the reader's attention is continually being held。 The ending makes it worth reading the story all the way through， sharing this quality with the film The Maltese Falcon。 。。。more
