Betsy F. (adninstructor) reviewed Sleep With the Lights On (Brown and de Luca, Bk 1) on + 22 more book reviews
Really enjoyed this book: paranormal suspense, mystery, and romance between an unlikely couple- and they just don't fall into each others arms. Rachel and Mason are more dimensional than the usual romance characters, and the way the author tells the story- both from Rachel's "I" perspective, and from Mason's as what an observer would see, made the story flow well. Also the perspective of the killer is chilling... Looking forward to reading more books in this series.

Rachel de Luca has been blind since the age of twelve. She is thrilled when a cornea transplant restores her sight. But the transplant isn't without drawbacks. Now she is having vivid nightmares. She is seeing brutal murders...from the eyes of the killer.
After his brother's suicide, Detective Mason Brown decided to donate his brother's organs. He also decided to cover up the fact that his brother left a note confessing to twelve murders. When Rachel wants to meet the family of her donor, Mason discovers that Rachel is dreaming about the murders his brother committed, and a new murder that just happened. He also understands that he may not be able to keep his brother's secret. Now there is a race to find the connection between his dead brother, Rachel, and a copycat killer.
This book caught my attention from the first chapter. Rachel is a sarcastic heroine who tells it like it is. Mason is just a normal guy who wants to cover the fact that his brother was a serial killer in order to protect his family, especially his young nephews. I went into this book thinking it was romantic suspense. But I thought the romance in this book is lacking. Maybe it will develop with the next book in the series. If you're going to read this one, think of it as paranormal suspense. My rating: 4 Stars.

I'll probably add to this review when I finish the book, I'm only on the 6th chapter. But I wanted to let people know that so far this book is very, very good. I love her vampire series, but thought her witch trilogy was "all right."
Before I got this book I figured the girl gets transplant corneas, starts having nightmares about killing people, yada yada, has been done before. But there are a few twists and turns in this book, and also some very sweet and funny stuff, that's kept my complete attention. So far 4 stars.
