Dead Dreams Book Tour and Giveaway




Title:   Dead Dreams
Author:   Emma Right
Published:  September 2013
Word Count:  approx. 50,000
Genre: YA Psychological Mystery

Recommended Age:  11+








Synopsis: Eighteen-year-old Brie O’Mara has so much going for her: a loving family in the sidelines,  an heiress for a roommate, and dreams that might just come true. Big dreams--of going to acting school, finishing college and making a name for herself. She is about to be the envy of everyone she knew. What more could she hope for? Except her dreams are about to lead her down the road to nightmares. Nightmares that could turn into a deadly reality.

My Review: What a fabulous "who done it" mystery novel! I am a total mystery reading nut I've read quite a few from Agatha Christie to Mary Higgins - Clark and Dead Dreams fits right in there with all of them. This is a nail biting on thee edge of your seat type of mystery that will leave you begging for more. Brie O'Mara is a typical eighteen yr old girl taking the steps to get out on her own and become independent. Until she meets Sara who is an heiress with lots of money and some plans of her own that place Brie in a compromising position. Dead Dreams will take you on the thrill ride of your life and it's worth every word. My only complaint on this story is that book two was not there to extend the story further for me. I will anxiously await it's arrival. 
5/5

Prologue from Dead Dreams by Emma Right:
They say each dead body, a human corpse, has a scent all of its own, a sweet-sour smell. A cadaver dog picks up the scent as clearly as a mother would recognize the photo of her child. Of course, I wouldn’t know, for I am no dog. I might as well have been, the way I’d stooped to yield to my basic instincts. My mind wandered to her, what her unique smell would be when, and if, they ever were to find her.
After what happened, I decided to write out the events that led to that day and details that might help, in case I’d missed something, or might need it for defense, or in case they found me dead. My relatives might need to piece together the things that had spiraled out of control, if they wanted closure to put me to rest, to forget me altogether. That would be least painful for them. I nodded to myself as I sat in the car. I thought of my most favorite girl in the world: Lilly. At least Lilly’d have my dog, Holly, to remember me by.
My friends used to call me Brie, short for Brianna. But, I could hardly count anyone a friend any more. I’d have to resort to back-watching if I wanted to survive.
