17) Gone by Lisa McMann

Janie has graduated from high school and is spending her summer with Cabel. Everything should be ok but she is starting to wonder what her future holds for her. Being pulled into people's dreams is really starting to take its toll and she doesn't really want to spend her life that way. So spending time with the guy she is in love with is giving her a chance to think things through. That is until things get complicated.

She has always wondered who her father is but she never thought she would meet him under such circumstances. Trying to figure out who he is and what he has done the last eighteen years isn't easy and her alcoholic mum isn't much help. As Janie uncovers his past, she starts to realise that she has a big decision to make. The consequences are huge and she needs to decide soon. Otherwise she could be too sick to decide otherwise.

The first thing that hit me when I got this book in my hands were the words on the cover. 'The Final Book in the Wake Trilogy' wasn't what I was expecting to see. If I had known this was only going to be a trilogy then I had conveniently forgotten about it. A little bummed about this series coming to an end already I decided that if Wake and Fade are anything to go by then this ending Gone should be amazing.

How wrong. Sure this was a good read but it wasn't anywhere near as special as Wake or Fade was. To be completely honest I am slightly disappointed that this was the last book. There wasn't any real final ending and there are quite alot of questions left open. Sure it was nice to find out more about Janie's parentage but her future is what I personally want to hear more about.

If you have already read Wake and Fade then you have to read Gone. There is no way around it. I would highly recommend Wake and Fade to anyone because they were amazing reads. I mean the concept alone is reason enough to check theses books out. That all said I wonder what others think of Gone. I don't have the heart to say 'don't read it' because it is worth reading. Maybe my expectations were just too high.

168) Fade by Lisa McMann

Something horrible has been happening at Fieldridge High but nobody is talking about it. Then Janie ends up in a classmate's violent and shocking nightmare and things start to make more sense. A teacher in her school is taking advantage of girls and Janie is in a position to put an end to it.

However Janie ends up in way over her head and her boyfriend Cabel is having problems dealing with the situation they have found themselves in. Meanwhile Janie learns more about her dream catching ability and it doesn't look good. No cure and no escape. Janie is going to be pulled into peoples dreams for the rest of her life with some dire consequences.

Fade is the second book in the series about Janie and her dream catching abilities. The first book Wake really took me by surprise and I couldn't wait to get hold of this sequel. I was not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed reading more about Janie's ability and also following her relationship with Cabel and her secret job.

The whole concept of having the ability to see into someones dreams is absolutely ingenious. The way the story is written really makes this series even more special and I am certainly going to be pre-ordering book three, Gone, as soon as I can.

Young adult or not this is an amazingly original but spooky series that is extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend this to everyone of any age and anyone who loves reading a good book.
