Fade by Lisa McMann

Age Level: Teen
Format: Book
 

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 even feared...

 

I love the Wake series.  I’ve been waiting for Fade ever since I finished reading Wake last year, and I was not disappointed.

 

Fade divulges more secrets about Janie’s ability, and the consequences that come with her power.  It also takes us further into the unique relationship between Janie and Cabel, a relationship that is taken to a new level.  I cannot wait until next year when the final book is released to see how Janie’s abilities and her relationship with Cabel have grown and changed.

 

Be aware, there is some vulgar language throughout the book.
