"A brilliantly plotted and enthralling thriller, Don't Dare to Dream by Dan Friedman is a huge literary achievement for a debut novel, with sophisticated characters, a strong premise, and fascinating twists.

Dan Friedman doesn't just keep the reader riveted to the pages as they follow this emotionally-charged story but keeps them guessing as well from page to page... an emotionally rich story imbued with psychological depth. A great read told in a smooth, irresistible voice. It kept me awake through the night."

"One of the best crime novels I've read in ages, full of breathtaking twists and turns."

-William Bernhardt, New York Times best-selling author

"When reading a good psychological thriller, I hold to a couple of mantras: "Trust no one," and "Believe nothing." Great advice for anyone planning to dive into Dan Friedman's immensely entertaining debut Don't Dare to Dream, a story in which almost nothing is as it seems. Friedman has created a masterful braiding of truth and lies that's guaranteed to leave readers amazed and satisfied. A fine first outing for this talented author, and I predict new fans will be clamoring for more,"

-William Kent Krueger, New York Times best-selling and Edgar Award winning author

"An impressive thriller. When even the FBI can't solve the entirety of the problem, the narrative is sure to please. Reader is hooked by the back cover summary, and ready for the story to unspool... Resonant and exciting. There is a lot to like about this story. Well done,"

-Judge, 27th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards

"An excellent book."

"Riveting. Every time I thought I knew what was happening I was wrong the twists and turns elegantly written a fantastic novel I can't wait for more."

-Sue, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"With Don't Dare to Dream Dan Friedman hits the sweet spot between the paranoia of Hitchcock and Highsmith and the subtle fear bred by the uniquely American cult of self-help and motivational thinking. Twisted and thrilling, you'll hate these characters one chapter and cheer for them the next. Highly recommended."

-Bryon Quertermous, book editor and author

"Friends aren't always as good as they may seem. I really liked this thriller! It had a lot of action to keep readers involved, and many twists and turns that I didn't see coming. One thing I require as a reader is to have a lot of personality development of the characters and this book didn't disappoint. I felt like I really knew each of the characters from the very beginning, and then whamo! He or she did something very unexpected that I didn't expect. I urge you to read this book if you like intrigue, suspense, and action!"

-Sandra J. Fehr, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Captivating. Very much enjoyed this book. I recommend."

"This was one of those books I couldn't put down! Just when I thought I had the plot and characters figured out, I was hit with another twist! I haven't read a really good suspenseful novel in a while. I'm glad I decided on this one."
