    Although its short, long history story is good. It reminds me of an episode of who in the bleep did I marry on the ID channel. I wish there was a prelude to this story.

    “Everything I thought about my life turned out to be a lie…” That single line sets the stage for an emotional and jaw-dropping journey in Lakisha Johnson’s While I Sleep. This short suspenseful read delivers a gripping tale that pulls you in from the very first page and doesn’t let go until the very end.

    The story follows Corah and Tyrone Patrick, a couple who seem to have it all together—until the mask comes off. What happens when the one you love, trust, and share your dreams with is secretly plotting your death? What happens when the night, which should bring peace and rest, becomes the breeding ground for betrayal?

    This was my first read by Lakisha Johnson, and I have to say—I’m not disappointed. The pacing was tight, the suspense was intense, and the twists? Wild. The fact that Corah's husband was not only living a double life but also conspiring to kill her for money was a storyline that completely caught me off guard. Add to that the eerie dream sequence and the terrifying reality that followed—it was truly a rollercoaster.

    I felt deeply for Corah. Her world was turned upside down in the most shocking way. Tyrone’s betrayal wasn’t just emotional—it was physical, calculated, and cruel. The fact that he drugged her while smiling in her face was chilling.

    If you’re looking for a short, suspense-packed read that’ll leave your mouth open and your mind racing, While I Sleep is it. Lakisha Johnson knows how to pack a punch in a few pages—and I’m definitely adding more of her work to my reading list.

    This book had you reeled in and then it flipped. Never would’ve thought it would’ve ended like it did. Had me thinking what is the world is going on here.
