DON’T OPEN YOUR EYES by Liv Constantine

4 stars

Annabelle Reynolds has a devoted physician husband, two lovely daughters, and a marketing career she loves – but she’s haunted by nightmares in which awful things happen in her future…and they start to come true. These terrible visions range from her being attacked by her husband who she now hates to a threat against her daughter’s life.

When details of these visions start to happen, Annabelle must wrestle with whether her life choices can forestall further premonitions from coming true. Annabelle faces a husband who seems to be keeping a huge secret, her daughter Scarlett who’s being potentially stalked on social media by someone who’s not the teen he presents as, and a huge loss from her past that seems connected to her future. Annabelle’s anxiety and truth-seeking make her first person narrative compelling. Interspersed along with her first person’s point of view is that of her daughter Scarlet and a mysterious woman telling a story as “the Wife.”

The sister duo who writes under the pen name Liv Constantine have created a popcorn psychological thriller that really ratches up the action and tension in the end.
