How Received: publisher

Things should be great for Janie—she has graduated from high school and is spending her summer with Cabel, the guy she’s totally in love with. But deep down she’s panicking about how she’s going to survive her future when getting sucked into other people’s dreams is really starting to take its toll.

Things get even more complicated when she meets her father for the very first time—and he’s in a coma. As Janie uncovers his secret past, she begins to realize that the choice thought she had has more dire consequences than she ever imagined.

I do enjoy this series. Wake and Fade were both enjoyable reads - they're not very long, and they have great characters and plots.

However, I feel like Lisa only skimmed the surface of the world she's created. The plots are good, but always very fast paced - things are thrown at you in summarized bits, rather than exploring what's going on. It's written differently, yes, and that's what makes it a fun and fast read - but I wish there was more depth to it.

However, if you do have a little bit of time, they are a fantastic series to read.

Overall Rating & Final Comments: 8/10. Good series with a great plot and interestinc characters, but not enough depth for me.
Cover Comments: These covers rock. Simple but sophisticated.
Favorite in series?: Fade.

Have you enjoyed the first two books in the series? Haven't had a chance to snag the third yet? Never fear - I'll be giving away a brand new, shiny copy of Gone later today!
