About the Book
New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz returns with the first novel of the Lost Night Files, an exciting new romantic suspense trilogy about a night that changed three women forever--but that none of them can remember.Book Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz returns with the first novel of the Lost Night Files, an exciting new romantic suspense trilogy about a night that changed three women forever--but that none of them can remember.Seven months ago, Pallas Llewellyn, Talia March, and Amelia Rivers were strangers, until their fateful stay at the Lucent Springs Hotel. An earthquake and a fire partially destroyed the hotel, but the women have no memory of their time there. Now close friends, the three women co-host a podcast called the Lost Night Files, where they investigate cold cases and hope to connect with others who may have had a similar experience to theirs--an experience that has somehow enhanced the psychic abilities already present in each woman. After receiving a tip for their podcast, Pallas travels to the small college town of Carnelian, California, to explore an abandoned asylum. Shaken by the dark energy she feels in the building, she is rushing out when she's stopped by a dark figure--who turns out to be the women's mysterious tipster. Ambrose Drake is certain he's a witness to a murder, but without a body, everyone thinks he's having delusions caused by extreme sleep deprivation. But Ambrose is positive something terrible happened at the Carnelian Sleep Institute the night he was there. Unable to find proof on his own, he approaches Pallas for help, only for her to realize that Ambrose, too, has a lost night that he can't remember--one that may be connected to Pallas. Pallas and Ambrose conduct their investigation using the podcast as a cover, and while the townsfolk are eager to share what they know, it turns out there are others who are not so happy about their questions--and someone is willing to kill to keep the truth from coming out.
Review Quotes
One of AARP's Winter's Best New Books! "This book is the first in a new series, and the interesting paranormal world and unsolved plotlines will keep readers clamoring for future titles. A richly layered mystery full of pleasing paranormal elements from a master of the genre."--Kirkus Reviews
"Krentz's plot is characteristically twisty and her characters are well-shaded...Readers will be on the edges of their seats."--Publishers Weekly "With her usual impeccable sense of aplomb, Krentz deftly begins her new Lost Night trilogy with a flawlessly paced plot that is both timely and timeless. Skillfully tapping into the current vogue for true-crime podcasts with her heroine's side hustle while at the same giving a clever nod to the eternal appeal of the Gothic with the book's creepy old sanitorium setting and rumors of a murderous ghost, Krentz's brand of smart, sexy romantic suspense remains perfectly on point."--Booklist, starred review "Krentz (Lightning in a Mirror) infuses gripping romantic suspense with the metaphysical in this novel that will delight long-time fans and new readers alike. A few unanswered questions create an intriguing set-up for the next book in this new series."--Library Journal

Sleep No More by Jayne Ann Krentz is the first book in The Lost Night Files. When I started reading Sleep No More, I found it confusing. It did not feel like the beginning (reminiscent of starting to watch a movie halfway through it). I kept reading in the hopes that I could get into the story, but it did not happen. There is a murder or two, paranormal abilities, and romance. The point-of-view switches around between Ambrose Drake and Pallas Llewellyn (which leads to repetition). Ambrose and Pallas both suffered a loss of memory. They both woke up in a strange place and it was a day later. There miner psychic abilities became heightened. Ambrose contacted Pallas through the podcast (The Lost Night Files) which she hosts with Amelia Rivers and Talia March. Amelia and Talia had the same experience as Pallas. The woke up with Pallas outside an abandoned hotel that was ablaze (try explaining that one to the authorities). Their abilities are strengthened as well. They agree to help Ambrose figure out what happened at the Carnelian Sleep Institute where he believes he witnessed a murder. The town of Carnelian seems to be a hub for shifty endeavors. There is a lot going on in the book. I was not a fan of the characters. Ambrose is a hot mess. Since the lost day, Ambrose has been suffering from severe sleep deprivation. He is unsure of what is real and what is not real. This is why he needs help looking into the activities at the Carnelian Sleep Institute. Pallas is twitchy and mistrustful. I struggled to finish the book. Sleep No More was not for me. I have enjoyed other books by this author, but the way Sleep No More was written kept me from becoming engaged. I will skip the other books in The Lost Night Files. Sleep No More is a restive tale with missing memories, extrasensory skills, a mysterious murder, cold cases, detailed drawings, a curious college, and a rare romance.
