You Were Here by Gian Sardar

This is a mystery that jumps back and forth seamlessly from modern day police drama and a young woman's strange nightmares to her grandmother's time and a love gone wrong. Abby is having the nightmare again - the one where she feels like she is drowning in sand. Somehow she now feels like going home might help her find the answers. She travels back to Minnesota and reconnects with her old boyfriend who is a detective dealing with a repeat rapist/serial killer. Aiden wants to help Abby solve her nightmares and there might still be a spark between them that peaks his interest. Abby is going through her grandmother's things and find an old ring and note that is the key to the secret.
I loved the parallel love triangles - Abby, her current sluggish boyfriend and Aiden and the young lover's kept apart by marriage in her grandmother's time. A debut author with heart and soul - this is one to watch.
