Don’t Trust The Raven

Could you turn back if you had all you ever wanted?

Ellie has been trapped in a life she doesn’t believe to be her own. From living in an apartment that carries her trauma, to an unsatisfying job and a toxic relationship, she has no control over her life. When her sister Mallory moves out, she is left on her own to cope with her fears.

Everything changes when Ellie realizes she can control and manipulate dreams-not just her own, but those of the people around her, too. She learns to regain control over her life through her abilities, and it’s all under the teaching eye of Aura, a beautiful inhabitant of the dreamworld. As Ellie slowly learns to take charge of her own life, her dreams prove to be the only safe space she has.

But when strange memories begin invading her mind and an eerily familiar woman from a story Mallory made up years ago starts talking to her in riddles, Ellie realizes there is more to her safe haven than meets the eye. Her perfect world harbors a dark secret; and it’s up to her to decide which path she wants to take and who to trust.

This dark mystery published as Alice Brook’s debut novel features a mostly female chast and thriller elements.
