Two Bloggers One Book ~ In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by Ashley WInstead

This year I wanted to try out more thrillers because I haven't read a lot of them. Lets just say I think I am figuring out that I only like a certain type of thriller even if the book sounds good...lol. After you see my thoughts go see what Barb thought at Booker T's Farm. 

Six friends.
One college reunion.
One unsolved murder.


A college reunion turns dark and deadly in this chilling and propulsive suspense novel about six friends, one unsolved murder, and the dark secrets they’ve been hiding from each other—and themselves—for a decade.

Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to southern, elite Duquette University, down to the envious whispers that are sure to follow in her wake. Everyone is going to see the girl she wants them to see—confident, beautiful, indifferent—not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather’s murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she’d been closest to since freshman year. Ten years ago, everything fell apart, including the dreams she worked for her whole life—and her relationship with the one person she wasn’t supposed to love.

But not everyone is ready to move on. Not everyone left Duquette ten years ago, and not everyone can let Heather’s murder go unsolved. Someone is determined to trap the real killer, to make the guilty pay. When the six friends are reunited, they will be forced to confront what happened that night—and the years’ worth of secrets each of them would do anything to keep hidden.

Okay, so I think this one is my fault as I kept seeing it around and people seemed to like it though I did see some not liking it. Her new book was coming out and I was like you know we should try this author and Barb wanted to read it. Well...

So I am going to start by saying I DNFed this book at 50% so I hung on way longer than I should have as I was so bored and I didn't care on thing about any of the characters or what the problem was but I did sort of want to know who the killers was but then in the end it wasn't enough to push on so I did skip to the end to see if I guessed it right on who the killer was of the girl from college and I was right. 

Told in two timelines about a group of college kids and then the same people ten years later at a reunion and something happened while they were in college and now the brother wants answers. He knows one of them killed his sister and is determined to find out. 

I just couldn't handle the college drama timeline and then the other timeline with them older the characters were not any more likeable. The main POV which is Jess, she was a stupid crazy horrible person and so yeah I just couldn't get into this one. :( I hope her newest one is better because I have an audio ARC I need to listen to and now I am nervous.
