Fade by Lisa McMann
4.0

This series is really shaping up nicely! I like how realistic it is. Yes, I know, I can hear you asking now "A series about a girl who falls into other people's dreams is realistic?? Yea ok!" But the writing in this series makes it realistic. Janie and Cabel do not ever have an easy road in front of them, and the book does not paint a fake pretty picture of their struggles. She shows things as they are, and I really appreciate that. You see everything they are going through. And yes, sometimes it bugged me how immaturely Cabel dealt with things. But then I remembered, this is so new to him and he is still a teenager. As a whole, the writing was awesome and really realistic. I loved the voice of the book. It really laid everything out on the pages and told you exactly what was going on.

The plot of this one was really interesting too! I think I liked it even more than the plot of the first one. The mystery dealt with teachers and students from the school and I was sucked right into the whole problem along with Janie and Cabel. It gets really intense towards the end of the book, but I was pleased with the way that everything turned out.

Cabel is just so loyal. I love that about him. He really loves Janie and even though that scares him so much- he never stops looking out for her. It is just so sweet to see. I was rooting for the two of them so much in this book. I just wanted to see them get their happy ending.

This series is addictive. I read them all back to back in just two days. They are pretty short reads and I find myself wanting so much more of them! Great book and a really great series!
