Summary: SOME NIGHTMARES NEVER END.
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….
Janie and Cabel don’t exactly see eye to eye on Janie using her abilities to catch criminals. They both know it could put her in danger and Cabel can’t seem to accept that. Things really start to heat up when Janie figures out who the criminal in their school is and instead of trying to get away she works to get closer and in the midst of all the turmoil finds out some shocking secrets about her ability.
Will Cabel be able to love Janie and let her do her own thing? Will Janie solve the mystery or will she become another one of the criminal’s victims?
I loved both Wake and Fade. Janie and Cabel are two of my favorite characters. Their stories are just so unique and interesting and just keep getting better. I have to say that I would love to have Cabel for myself especially after reading Fade.
Lisa McMann’s writing style is very different. It didn’t bug me at all when I read Wake but it did bug me a little in Fade. I’m not really sure why, it just took me a little longer to get into the story but once I did I quickly forgot about my problems with it. Fade was so gripping and shocking and just all out great.
I don’t really have anything bad to say about Fade other than my minor issue with the writing style. Once you get into the story the book is just impossible to put down. Both Wake and Fade are on my list of favorite books and I can’t wait for the third book, Gone. It will be released next year and I am so excited about it. If you haven’t already read Wake and Fade, what are you waiting for?

😀 I love Wake and Fade also. Really fast, absorbing reads. I actually really like her writing style- it’s different, and I think it sets the tone of the books. Great review though.
Oh, and you have some awards from us here .
