![]() ![]() Janie’s mom is still a cliche drunk parent. ![]() Yet I have to accept that book characters are going to change just like real people do, even if many other ways the book does pick up where it left off. There are other little changes too such as the fact Janie has quit her nursing home job or now eats Power Bars instead of Snickers. Then again, Janie is absorbed with her boyfriend too–and so perhaps that is why Carrie must take a back seat and turn into more of a stock character than a real friend. She never struck me as such in WAKE, but definitely seems absorbed with her new boyfriend. Best friend, Carrie, isn’t introduced until page thirty and then is described only as “self-centered and immature”. As such, this book resonated strongly with me after I closed its covers.Īt the onset of the book, I feel somewhat disappointed with all the changes in Janie’s life. While none of us will ever have to deal with the fantastical ability of entering people’s dreams, all of us will do eventually face decisions about our gifts. She also faces incredible choices about what to do with her gift. While in the first book Janie discovers she can enter dreams and struggles controlling them, in this follow-up Janie uses her skill to uncover the very realistic and terrifying threat of date rape. For another thing, this book better succeeds at being more than simply a supernatural thriller. ![]() For one thing, all our favorite and not-so-favorite characters have returned. FADE is my favorite book in the dream trilogy by Lisa McMann. ![]()
