A Dream Within A Dream
A Coffey & Hill Novel book 3
by Mike Nappa & Melissa Kosci
| -From Goodreads- Trudi Coffey only realizes that she hasn't seen Samuel Hill in weeks when the FBI shows up asking questions about him. After a strange encounter with an armed man demanding her help and an attack by a member of the Boston mob looking for someone named Dream, Trudi manages to find Samuel--or rather, he finds her. He's made some pretty powerful enemies, but right now his full attention is on protecting Dream from the mob. Because Dream has something they want--the map to the location of artwork stolen from the Gardener Museum during the infamous 1990 heist. With danger closing in from all sides, Trudi and Samuel will have to call on all of their allies to keep Dream safe and discover the identity of the people who have been hunting down Samuel. The real questions are whom can they trust? And who will make it out of this thing alive. ISBN-13: 9780800726461 Stakes have never been higher for Coffey & Hill... Well, this is one of those books that leaves me with mixed feelings and I just don't know where to start. Did I like it? Yes. Am I still reeling from the ending? Also, yes. Reading A Dream Within A Dream was almost a little surreal. |  This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

While Annabelle Lee is probably my favorite Coffey & Hill novel there were aspects of A Dream Within A Dream that I liked even more. I felt like I was able to get to know Trudy, and even Samuel, a lot more in this book. This is also the first book in the series that has a co-writer and it does have a slightly different tone than the previous two books. Rest assured that Mike Nappa's trademark dark, slightly Ted Dekkerish, brand of grittier Christian suspense is still very much present. The action and adventure remain undimmed. Melissa Kosci's influence is subtle, but it's there.
As a history buff from way back, I think my favorite scenes in the book were those set around several Revolutionary War historical sites. What does Paul Revere's midnight ride have to do with a Poe poem? You'll have to read the book to find out!
Just as a friendly word from one reader to another. There are some sections that can be a little hard to follow as one character has flashbacks from at least 3 different time periods so you need to pay attention to those blank space breaks between scenes/flashbacks.
So, while I still have those mixed feelings I can say that I did like A Dream Within A Dream. Mike Nappa and Melissa Kosci have penned a strong addition to the Coffey & Hill series and it definitely stands well beside its predecessors. If you've read book one and two you won't want to miss this one!
