I'm currently reading The Dream Daughter by Diane Chamberlain and highly recommend it. It's a page-turner and I can't read it fast enough. I have to block the text on the right side when reading the left because I just wanna know what happens! It"s a thrilling ride through the past and present through time-travel and goes to prove that a mother would do anything for her child.

This novel is classic Hendricks-Pekkanen and it does not disappoint! It is fast paced, engaging and the twists and reveals are well timed to keep the reader interested and guessing. The main character can be a bit grating sometimes but, in the end, her outcome is satisfying. I wish the ending had been a bit more involved or explained but, all in all, a real page-turner!

I generally find thrillers slightly disappointing and somewhat predictable but I found Before I Go To Sleep an enjoyable exception.

It is a creative, innovative plot and you are really drawn into Christine's world living day by day with her.

I found the ending built in suspense spectacularly and found the novel as a whole compelling.

 A good page-turner, intelligently written with a good twist at the end.

It's not easy to write a novel which is so philosophically thought provoking it is likely to turn your world views on their head. Which is educational and enlightening. And yet which is a great page turner of an adventure story with twists and turns aplenty. A good book is judged for me by how it has changed you after you have finished reading it. This fulfilled this in so many ways. Superb!

Felt like there should be a sequel (0 more)
This book was definitely a page turner. Even when I thought I had it all figured out the last 2 chapters have a twist which I never saw coming! The book was left in a way that the author could write a sequel to it but at the same time I would possibly change genre as there wouldn't really be a mystery to solve.

Not a page turner
This book promises a page turning, plot twisting, dArk and thrilling read but instead you only want the pages to turn to the torture of reading the book can come to an end.

The ending is well written and worth investing in but unfortunately the build up has been so bad that by the time the end comes, you just don’t care anymore.

There is a lot of promise but it doesn’t deliver.

You don’t care about the mystery letter writer, or the romantic entanglements because we aren’t given any reason to care for the characters until the very end.
  
this is the first book by this author that I've read and I definitely wasn't disappointed one bit. this is a exciting sports romance with a fab plot, plenty of hot steamy scenes, that will leave you very hot under the collar. I loved the characters and the story was very well written. the plot adds to the story making you eat up every page you read and never wanting you to put it down. a defiant page turner of a book. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future

Every word written, kept me wanting to turn to the next page. The story line, the characters were real to me, as if I was there, too. (0 more)

Page-turner
Contains spoilers, click to show
From the very beginning, when she had her accident, died, and was on the ship. When she arrived in Elsewhere, diving to the bottom of the see, to meeting the love of her rewinding life, to her last day on Elsewhere and her reincarnation. It was all I could think of after reading the book, can't even find the right words to discribe the piece of treasure.
  
I love the 4 books in this series each one i read was a great page turner and made me want to read more, I am reading Vampire Diaries THE RETURN: Shadow Souls. I do admit I didn't get grabbed first of but I did go back to it once I refreshed my head with another book I brought. I do admit I more prefer the first 3 but I will continue to check them out.
