Wake
Quick Overview:
Ever since she was eight years old, high school student Janie Hannagan has been uncontrollably drawn into other people's dreams, but it is not until she befriends an elderly nursing home patient and becomes involved with an enigmatic fellow-student that she discovers her true power.
Thoughts On Book:
It was very fast paced and had a great story line. I am always a sucker for a great love story in a book and this one does not disappoint. Janie and Cabel are a great pair and their characters compliment each other nicely. The general plot of the book is focused on Janie's Dream Catcher ability and how it is messing with her ability to live a normal life. Janie falls for Cabel fast and then is plagued by the fear that he is not to be trusted. This book is set up with sections and dates and times in order to organize the story flow.
