Fade by Lisa McMann


This book was beyond brilliant.

For Janie and Cabel, real life is getting tougher than the dreams. They're just trying to carve out a little (secret) time together, but no such luck.

Disturbing things are happening at Fieldridge High, yet nobody's talking. When Janie taps into a classmate's violent nightmares, the case finally breaks open -- but nothing goes as planned. Not even close. Janie's in way over her head, and Cabe's shocking behavior has grave consequences for them both.

Worse yet, Janie learns the truth about herself and her ability -- and it's bleak. Seriously, brutally bleak. Not only is her fate as a dream catcher sealed, but what's to come is way darker than she'd feared....




Ok, so as most of you know; I went to a Lisa McMann books signing a couple weeks ago. I read this book a month or two ago, and I thought it was time to review it. The first book in this series was excellent, and this book was even better. Lisa McMann is a very smart writer, and she writes her characters well. The relationship between each character is portrayed in an awesome way. When you read it, you can really feel the frustration and tension that Janie had towards her mother. And, the sweet relationship that Janie has with Cable counter-balances her feelings toward her mother.

So, this books is beyond good, some people may not like it, but I do. I can't wait for the third book in the trilogy!

I've really been wanting to get my hands on Willow but haven't had a chance yet.
