The Hypno

Dr. Hypnos in Los Angeles

By: Renée S. Phaedra

Narrated by: Alicia LaPoint

What if your thoughts weren’t your own?

When a mysterious new professor arrives at UCLA, students begin to change—abandoning their goals, adopting new identities, and even falling in love with their best friend. Sarah Whitman, an ambitious journalism student, starts to suspect something sinister is at play when her closest friends undergo bizarre personality shifts—one suddenly becomes a Cockney-accented kleptomaniac, another trades flannel for heels and professes a passionate love for Sarah herself.

At the center of it all is Dr. Hypnos—a charming, hypnotic figure whose velvet voice and unsettling influence seem too powerful to be coincidence. As Sarah digs deeper, she uncovers a terrifying truth: Dr. Hypnos may be reshaping minds, rewriting lives, and hiding a plan that goes far beyond mere manipulation.

Now Sarah must unravel the mystery before she—and everyone she cares about—loses who they truly are.

Darkly funny, stylishly sharp, and tinged with psychological suspense, The Hypno: Dr. Hypnos in Los Angeles is a mind-bending tale of identity, obsession, and the fight to hold onto your own truth in a world where thoughts can be stolen.
