Gwen knows that she will be the chief suspect as she had found three dead bodies in Wibly two years ago. Neverless she calles the police and while waiting looks around Evelyn's office for any clues.

Gwen feels that another psychic killer is on the loose in the town. Evelyn left her estate to Gwen. So Gwen will have to stay in Wilby for a few days to take care of the estate.
When her "sister" Abby finds out she asks her fiance's brother Judson to go to protect Gwen while she is in Wilby. Gwen also wants to find out who killed Evelyn and Judson promises to help her.

Dream Eyes is the second book in the Dark Legacy series. The way Krentz has set up this series, Dream Eyes can be read as a stand-alone book. The first book, Copper Beach, is Sam and Abby's story. Dream Eyes is Gwen and Judson's story. Characters from Copper Beach are in Dream Eyes, but only in a minor capacity. I would definitely read Copper Beach first if you want a little more history on the Coppersmith family, Abby and Nick. Knowing their history is not necessarily important, but may make it a little less confusing when they are introduced. Copper Beach will also explain more about the Phoenix stones, again they are not that important in this storyline.
Gwendolyn Frazier, Abby's friend and soul sister, receives an email from her mentor Evelyn Ballinger. When Gwen can not reach Evelyn by phone, she goes to Evelyn's house in small town Wilby, Oregon. Gwen finds her dear friend Evelyn dead in Evelyn's office. To the untrained eye it appears that Evelyn has died of natural causes. Gwen thinks that Evelyn was killed by paranormal means. She also believes that Evelyn's murder is connected to the two murders that happened in Wilby two years ago. Gwen needs a second opinion on Evelyn's death and, if she's correct, someone to help her find out why Evelyn had been murdered. Gwen needs a psychic investigator, which leads directly to the Coppersmith family.
Judson Coppersmith, Sam's brother, is a psychic investigator, half of Coppersmith Consulting. Judson is on the Oregon coast recovering from the aftermath of his last assignment. Judson made it out of the incident alive, but his mind is stuck in a dark place. Judson receives a phone call from Sam asking him to help Gwen. Judson decides that Gwen may be the perfect distraction, a way to escape his recurring nightmares.
My favorite character would have to be Nick Sawyer. Nick plays a small but important part in Dream Eyes. I don't know exactly what it is about him that draws you in. He's funny, loyal and has this mysterious quality that insists you learn more about him. Dream Eyes is the perfect combination of mystery and romance with a little paranormal thrown in just for fun. It really was a fantastic read. ”
“Regular Krentz. Kind of fun, not nasty, not scarey, but has enough interest to keep you reading. ”

Dream Eyes is about Gwen Frazier who returns to Wilby, OR to deal with the death of her friend and mentor. Two years ago Gwen was unfortunate to find two bodies and to be present when another man committed suicide. Gwen is so convinced that none of these deaths were natural that she hires Judson Coppersmith to investigate.
Judson is still dealing with the aftermath of his last case. He is happy to help Gwen and hopes he can show her that they can have more than just a working relationship.
Jayne Ann Krentz is my go to author whenever I am looking for a book to get out of a reading slump or if I just need a short escape. All of her books are enjoyable and Dream Eyes is no different. This is a book I am so happy I have on my shelf.

“Always one of my favorite authors, although I admit this one took me a bit longer to get into. But, once I did, great dialogue between characters. Her books are always fun.”
