4.5 Wicked Stars!!
This book was such a wicked good surprise!
"I'd been dealing with horrifying hallucinations since childhood, but nightmares were something completely different. It was almost as if the visions were following me into my sleep, and I had no idea how to make them stop."
This was Taylor's 'gift' - hallucinations and dreams????!!!!!! Her 'gift' is also what tore her apart from her family. Since Taylor was seven, she began having these hallucinations and dreams which lead everyone around her to believe she was crazy. Her parents made her see a therapist right after the first time Taylor saw something horrible in her dreams and she tried to warn the person from the dream. This just sets Taylor up for a horrible childhood having to see a therapist weekly and be prescribed drugs. Everyone thought she was crazy as well as her parents. So when Taylor turns eighteen, she moves to other coast far far away from everyone who has let her down. Now she is living in Seattle, living a very routined quiet life as a waitress. She works hard at not letting people in. Then within a 24 hour time span she has met two hunky men. And of course both are hot and sexy. Daniel the mysterious man who knows all about Taylor's childhood and even her name before she changed it. He appears in her life to help and explain what her 'gift' means and why she was given the 'gift'. The 'gift' allows Taylor to see horrible crimes being committed but she never knew what she was supposed to do with these hallucinations and dreams.
Then there is the sexy Jordan! He appears one day sitting in her section at the dinner. Immediately, he is attracted to Taylor but she doesn't know how to deal with him and his flirting. She has spent her life running from any type of relationship because of her 'gift'. Letting people in allows people to see the ugly side. But Jordan doesn't let her walk away without letting her know he is interested. Can she let him in? If so, can Jordan accept Taylor's gift?
"It's not just a coincidence that you two were drawn together from the moment you met. There's a reason for everything and you two didn't just find each other by accident."
So the twist and turns of a blooming sexy romance are just a part of this mystery murder romance. I was hanging on my seat trying to piece the puzzle together. Brilliantly the author allowed us in the mind of the psycho killer and at the same time giving us different POV's. Absolutely BRILLIANT!
This is a MUST READ!!!!
Again, BRILLIANT work Jessica Prince!!

Nightmares from Within is a book that is full of passion and drama but I must warn this is a quick book that grabs you and takes for a ride even I was not ready for.
“I’d just take in a major leap into the unknown, and while it was scary, it was a completely different, exciting kind of fear.”
When this book started we are thrown in a nightmare, but we soon find out that these nightmares are “gifts” given to the main character, Taylor. Gifts she wanted to give back. I was so immediately attached to Taylor that I found myself wanting to help her. Jessica did an unbelievable job painting an image of Taylor and her “gift”. She makes so that you never once question what is happening. Other then Taylor’s gift she also these unbelievable men in her life, the main one being Jordan.
“God, this man did things to me.”
“Yeah, I was definitely in danger of falling for Jordan Donovan.”
Jordan was exactly what Taylor needed in her life, the light in the darkness. He was almost too perfect and their chemistry was instant. He was this knight that came to rescue her and I kinda wanted a lot more of him. But the other man in her life, Daniel, was like the big brother you never asked for but all your friends wanted.
“You know, most women would be falling over themselves for my attention. I’m kind of a panty melter,” he said as he waved his hands in front of his torso.
“You didn’t just say that,” I replied with a roll of my eyes.
Yeah he said it and he meant. Daniel had this confidence about him that he didn’t try to hide. He was there to help Taylor and to bring out the gift she prayed would go away.
In all this book is the perfect afternoon quickie. It has just the right amount of everything to leave you saying …
“Wow,” was all I could say once I was finally able to form words.
“I can’t form any other words. I think you killed me.”
Oh and I am wanting left wanting a series from this story or atleast I am hoping for one!

I received a copy of this ebook as a beta reader.
Nightmares from Within is a good book full of passion and drama. It has a good plot and keeps you interested throughout.
The main characters were well developed and I felt connected to Taylor from the beginning. Jessica Prince did a good job at describing Taylor’s feelings and explaining her history as well as her “gift.” Jordan was the man of any woman’s dreams. He’s not perfect, but he’s close.
I can see how the author could make this the first book in a series. I recommend Nightmares from Within, especially if you like romantic suspense.
Warning: explicit sex and some swearing

I received an arc of this book and let me just say - what a read! The character development and story progression run smoothly. You really get an understanding of the characters, their mindsets and motivations. The author does a good job of weaving the story, adding little nuances that, at the end, make you go, "OH! I get it. I get it!" The ending makes me wonder if there might be a second book...

I read Nightmares from Within in a 48-hour period, trying furiously to work it in between work, writing and editing and proofreading. It had sucked me in from the very beginning, and if I didn’t have other commitments, I would have read it all in one go.
Nightmares from Within is a story about a damaged and scared young woman called Taylor. She hasn’t considered herself to be normal since she was seven years old after she starts having visions of people dying horrific deaths. That’s a lot for a seven-year-old to deal with, and because of the treatment she receives from her parents, who are more concerned with appearances rather than the actual well-being of their daughter, she’s left with trust issues and a strong desire to be left alone. She shuns all contact, except to let a few select people in.
We find out there’s a serial killer on the loose on the streets of Seattle dubbed ‘The Poet’ after he leaves each victim with a morbid poem clutched in their hands at their death. Despite all the warnings, Taylor does her best to ignore this murderer as she has enough recently-occurring nightmares to deal with when she’s asleep—she doesn’t need to live a nightmare while she’s awake either.
It’s only until she meets Daniel that she realizes just what her recent spate of nightmares actually mean. Torn between wanting to be rid of her ‘gift’ and the only other option she has, Taylor is forced to sit up and pay attention to her visions when one of her friends becomes the object of The Poet’s attention. Fighting against her own fear, she embraces her visions and begins to fight for the life of one of her closest friends.
But it’s not just accepting her gifts that puts a strain on Taylor; she also has to deal with her feelings for a man she’s only just met, yet feels completely in tune and comfortable with. Never before has she felt this way, and when he is thrown into the path of danger, she has to make a snap decision—to save his life, or save her own.
So, let’s start with the positives. I really enjoyed reading this book by Jessica Prince. It’s well-written, with well-paced scenes and great dialogue between the characters. Everyone seems to interact effortlessly with each other, with each character adding just the right amount to the scene or the dialogue. The pacing is great. There was not one instance where I thought something should have been done more slowly, or quickly, which makes reading Nightmares from Within seamless.
With the knowledge of a serial killer looming in the background, I found myself looking for little hints in the time-lines of characters, and studying what they said and did. These tantalizing hints and clues are scattered throughout, leaving you wondering exactly who The Poet is.
Prince has done a great job with the sex scenes of this book. Every interaction between Taylor and Jordan is believable and sweet. He truly does care for her, and this is shown by how reverently he touches her and looks out for her despite her sometimes stand-offish behaviour and peculiar quirks.
A special mention also has to be made for the colourful and creative use of the word ‘douche’ in Nightmares from Within. In fact, over the entirety of the book, the level, quality and frequency of creative insults is utterly amazing. Each time I read a new one, it put a smile on my face.
There’s only one thing that I could find that could be improved with this book, and that is the punctuation. Maybe it’s the proofreader in me, or the English teacher, but I struggled with some of the longer sentences that were created with the lack of punctuation. It didn’t detract from the story, but I did find myself having to read and reread some paragraphs just to make sure I understood what was trying to be said.
Despite that small thing, I enjoyed Nightmares from Within. I’ll be looking out for more books by this author in the future, and would recommend it if you like to have that romantic element in your books, but you also like to have a thriller edge to keep you reading…because Nightmares from Within definitely kept me reading.

I need to start out by saying that I was blown away with this book. I received this as an ARC from the author and to be honest, I didn’t even read the synopsis or reviews. I just dove head first into this book. Nightmare from Within is not your typical romance. Yes, there is romance, but I felt it was more on the suspense side of the genres. Ok, let’s meet the characters.
Taylor Carmichael is not your typical twenty-three year old girl, and she has struggled with that fact since she was seven. Taylor has a special ‘gift’, yet until she realizes what it is that she is supposed to do with this gift, it is nothing more than a nuisance. She has always seen herself as an outcast. She even legally changed her name to keep herself distanced from her parents, as she has always been an “embarrassment”. She has never let anyone close to her, she is alone. That is until she meets HIM.
Detective Jordan Donovan.. hmm… what to say about this man… Jordan has that bad cop/good cop vibe all over him. When he lays eyes on Taylor while she is working at Benny’s Diner, he was blown away. When he made her smile, a real genuine smile, there was no denying he had to know this girl. Jordan is the detective on a mass murdering case. The media dubbed this crazed mass murderer “The Poet”.
When Taylor meets Daniel , she thinks that she has completely lost her mind. He tells her that he is her 'Guide' and if she doesn't start to try to use her gift, she ultimately will die before her next birthday. You can imagine how well she takes this news...
As Taylor and Jordan's relationship progresses, she finds herself sharing more and more of her life with him. She feels so comfortable around him and can't explain why. That is until one night when Taylor rushes off with a migraine and she is forced to tell him about her visions. He is immediately caught off guard and does not handle this news well.
Who would have thought that they’re lives were brought together by fate? Can Taylor accept her gift in order to save the lives of the only few people she has let into her heart?
This is definitely a book that I will be recommended to everyone. Jessica Prince did a fabulous job with these characters and I can't wait to see what she does next!
Happy Reading!!!

I love the premise of this story! Some small spoilers ahead, though I will try to keep it vague. The main character, Taylor, is plagued by these nightmares, where she sees, and feels as if she is experiencing others' deaths. Because of these nightmares and a sterile, unloving upbringing, she faces social anxiety, panic attacks, and is generally lonely. She learns that she needs to hone in and learn to understand these 'nightmares' in order to save herself and others.
One other point that I think could have been improved upon is a more 3 dimensional supporting characters.
Despite these couple of things, I did really enjoy the book. It sort of reminds me of the book "Through Violet Eyes" by Stephen Woodworth, so if you enjoy the whole murder mystery and paranormal cross, with a bit less in your face romance, I definitely recommend checking that one out.
"Nightmares from Within" is available on Kindle Unlimited. Overall, it was an enjoyable book, fairly quick paced, and kept you trying to figure out who the killer is.

March 21, 2014I was provided an ARC for an honest review.
Jessica's second novel is nothing like her first, which is to say that even though we get to see a relationship blossom between Taylor and Jordan, it's not your typical boy meets girl.
Taylor has been given a special gift of seeing things no one else can. Her friend and guide, Daniel, shows Taylor the way to best handle her gift to the best of her ability.
When a serial killer starts targeting girls Taylor's age, Taylor must find out who this killer is before he takes the next victim.
Jordan is a detective in the case and when he realizes Taylor knows more than she should about these murders, he begins to question everything about the girl he may love.
Jessica does an excellent job telling Taylor's story - how she grows from her isolation cause by the dreams to learning to embrace her gift that allows her to live her life without fearing the worst.
If you like suspense and romance, I highly recommend.

Nightmares From Within has suspense, drama, and romance to keep you on the edge of your seat right up to the end. It grabbed me from the beginning and I read it one night because I didn't want to put it down. The only thing that disappointed me is I wanted more story. I would love to see a novella for the time between the ending and the epilogue. I am definitely looking forward to more by Jessica Prince.

Nice read from Jessica
Wow this was definitely a different kind of read but I liked it. It was a little bit of a mystery with a twist to it. Taylor has visions and dreams of murders and has had them since she was seven. She’s always struggling with them not knowing why she has them until one day she actually finds out why she has them, and how they’re actually considered a gift, even if it doesn’t seem like a great one.
Of course since, Taylor was little she has always stayed to herself and doesn’t have many friends do to the fact that she was always treated and looked at as if she was crazy. So when she meets sweet and hot, Jordan she has to make a decision is she going to turn Jordan down like everyone else or finally learn how to open up allowing him in along with learning to take big steps that might be scary.
I enjoyed this story and the characters that go with it. It is an easy read and I definitely am going to have to check out what other good books a a nice style like this from Jessica Prince.
“How are you feeling?” he asked. I let out a groan as the sound of his voice banged around inside my head. “I’d be a lot better if you’d back the hell up. Jesus, I can tell you had onions for lunch.” Daniel shot up and called over his shoulder seriously, “She’s going to be just fine. The knife didn’t sever the sarcastic artery.”

4.5 stars-very good!!
I read somewhere that this was only Jessica Prince’s second book—and if it was I am so impressed. It was so well written and kept me riveted from start to finish. Very likable characters, well done tension and suspense, great love story and emotional sex scenes.
My only complaint is that (BIG SPOILERS HERE SO STOP READING IF YOU DON’T WANT KNOW……..)
A beloved character dies towards the end of this in a brutal way. I hated that and to be honest, I don’t think it was necessary for her to die. I mean what was the point of Taylor finally embracing her gift if she couldn’t save her? It kind of killed my happiness when they get their HEA.

Taylor has had a rough life. Plagued with nightmares from the time she was 7, she's been discarded by her parents, her peers and most of society. She does her best to function in the world by pulling away from others as much as she can. Two men enter her life that will change her forever. Daniels is handsome and sarcastically annoying. But she feels connected to him unlike any other. Jordan knocks her off her feet the moment they make eye contact. She wants him, badly. This story contains twists and turns that you wouldn't expect. Jump in and enjoy the thrilling ride.

A great story!
This book is starkly different from many of Jessica Prince’s other works, but that doesn’t mean it was bad at all. In fact, she took a slightly PNR-ish subject and turned it into a riveting tale or loneliness, fear, love, and victory. Taylor has been cursed since she was 7, so she’s had a very lonely life. Then she meets two men. One is meant to be a brother figure and the other her soulmate. The only problem? She has to live long enough to build a lasting relationship with either man, and that won’t be easy with a serial killer on the loose.

Great story!
I loved this book, it was very unique and interesting had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was a good love story but also a good story about resilience and how some things are not in our control but the choices we make when we have the opportunity to make them is what makes a difference. Very interesting plot! I was up until 5am darn you Jessica Prince! Another great book :)

Loved this.
I've enjoyed your other books, but this one drew you in so much, loved the suspense, the romance/chemistry between characters and the surprise of the guide. Worth the read.

Not one of my favorite's from this author. Border line "sci fi". Not my genre.

Pretty good
This book was interesting and the characters were funny at times. The storyline was a little unbelievable but was entertaining.

3.5-4 Stars: While it was a good book with great characters and an interesting storyline, I didn’t give it more than 4 stars because the paranormal/spiritual stuff isn’t my thing.

Completely different storyline to all the other books and might be the top favourite out of all of them.

4.5 🤍
Ok this book was a pleasant surprise since I didn’t expect it to catch me so much. Definitely one of my favorite reads of the moment.

I was surprised by how much I liked this book. I've been putting off reading it because I thought, for some reason, it was a horror book. But it's more of a thriller.
Taylor has a gift. A gift that she's been trying to suppress since she was shamed for it at seven years old. Now she's in her twenties, living off of her trust fund her parents gave her to stay far away from their high society life. But Taylor also has a job as a waitress in a diner. Here she meets Daniel. He seems to know everything about her and he just wants to help.
Taylor also meets a sweet and sexy cop named Jordan. He knows just how to handle her. *wink wink* While Taylor is learning to accept her gift rather than repress it there's also a serial killer on the loose and Jordan is on the case. Is there a connection?
Loved the epilogue. Well done!

One of my top favorite romance sub-genres are between contemporary and suspense. This is the type of suspense I love to read about since my favorite by Jennifer L. Armentrout-Till death novel. I knew when I read the premise that I just had to read this book. I was glad that picked it up. It had the right amount of suspense to keep me at the edge of my seat at two in the morning. I also enjoyed the paranormal aspect of it too. Not a lot of people take kindly to that kind of paranormal-ish sort of category involving psychic powers. I do not mind though. Usually paranormal fans rave over shapeshifters, werewolves, and vampires, but I tend to lean towards supernatural aspects. And if you enjoy overly-protective-alpha males, then you will love Jordan. Overall, I relished over this plot story and would love to find more recommendations close to this one.

April 20, 2015meh. I can't rate this since I only got about 1/3 of the way through. Maybe I was just being fussy when I was reading but the writing didn't grab me even though the plot was dangerous. I might try it again when I'm in a different mood.

I liked the premise. Character development/plot could have been more developed
