  • Magic Trixie and the Crystal Witch on Jan. 08, 2014

    Magic Trixie and and The Crystal Witch is a great book! I started reading it and could not stop! it has love, adventure and suspense--everything you would want in a great book.I love reading books about magic and fantasy, and this book has both. The love of a father is unconditional, and that shows in the love this father has for his daughter.I would recommend this book to all my friends and family. This book is also a good read for all ages. This book took me away from reality. I get lost in a world of magic and fantasy. I couldn't put it down, had to keep reading so i could find out what happened next. I give this book a 5 star rating ,,and I look forward to more from this author.
  • The Very Swift Witches on Jan. 09, 2014

    The very Swift Witches is an "on the edge of your seat" type of book. The characters make you want to know more about them.This was one of the best books I have ever read, I had a hard time putting it down. I found myself completely into what was going on and hanging on every word. I would recommend this book to everyone, it is a must have if you love to read and get lost in what u are reading. You will find yourself lost in this book.I love books like this, that help me escape reality for a little while. The challenges these characters go though and their strength will have you rooting for them. Author Wayne Hicks knows how to make you connect with the characters. I give this book 5 stars. Absolutely loved it.

  • Dream Student on Jan. 19, 2014

    Dream Student, the first book of J.J. DiBenedetto's Dream Series is great. This novel is amazing, and I cant wait to read more from him. The story grabs your attention from the very first page and holds you until the very end. Dreaming is something we all do. so its easy to relate to the characters of this book. Plus, we all have fear of nightmares and the hope that when we have a nightmare it wont come true. Sara, the girl in the story, is trying to cope with her dreams, that are more like nightmares, plus trying to deal with all the challenges of being in collage. And when she realizes that they aren't "just" dreams, it all takes on a whole new meaning! I give this book 5 stars and cant wait to read book 2 in this series.
  • Dream Doctor on Jan. 20, 2014

    Dream Doctor- book 2 This is anorther great book in the Dream series. Sara thought her dreams were over only for them to come back at a time in her life when she needed to be concentrating on other things like marriage, Med School, Friends and family. So now she has to figure out how to figure out what her dreams are trying to tell her plus manage married life, her education ,and her friend who needs her. J.J. DiBenedetto has done it again with another great book. This is a must read you will be pulled into Sara and Brian's life wanting to know whats next for them. I absolutly love this series. And give this book a 5 star rating. Cant wait to read the 3rd book.

  • Dream Family on Jan. 22, 2014

    Dream Family is another great book in the Dream series.Sara has finally got her degree to be a doctor and just when she thinks things are getting good, she gets in trouble. Sara is still having her dreams and they make her life hard.She needs to be concentrating on her family and career but she finds it hard to deal with when her dreams keep haunting her. I absolutely love the dreams series. I think J.J.DiBenedetto is a very talented author and would recommend if you haven’t read his books that you start. This book will keep you lost in the pages. If you have been reading the series then you know by now how lost in the books you will become. This series is a most read for anyone who loves to read. I give this book 5 stars.

I was hooked from the first page.This book as well as the whole series is great.I found myself lost and wanting to read more to find out what happens. I couldn’t put it down. I love this series. J.J. DiBenedetto has done it again.This author is amazing and I hope he makes more series. He is one of the best authors I’ve read in awhile.

  • Dream Reunion on Jan. 27, 2014

    "Dream Reunion is another great book in the Dreams series.In this book,Sara gives birth to a baby boy that she names Matty who is born during the 9-11 tragedy.Shortly after that ordeal she has to perform surgery on her best friends baby who is only a few weeks older then her baby. Sara and Brian are having problems.She has to deal with all the normal problems life has thrown at her, while trying to deal with the ones her not so normal dreams are throwing at her as well. This book is full of ups and downs emotionally. It left me wanting to know more and I was unable to put it down until I got to the end! If you have been reading the Dream series then by now you probably feel like Sara is a close friend and will be hoping for the best for her and her family. This series is full of romance and excitement. If you haven't read this series, then I highly recommend that you read it as soon as possible! I look forward to reading more from J.J. DiBenedetto. If it were possible, I would give this book beyond 5 stars!!""
