The first two books were so much fun but I really don’t know what happened with this one :( it was nothing like the others
This is the third book in this series and I liked it infinitely more than the second one. In this one you lose the police work aspect and focus more on the emotion and personal growth of the characters. I really liked that the author stepped away from using Janie's "gift" as a way to get the bad guys and brought it back to a more personal level. I was very pleased with the way things got resolved. Great end to the series!
This book was really good. I was sad to see it end.
***2nd Read in 2022***
I finally got around to finishing the third book. I still loved it after all of these years! I really can't believe so many people hate it. I liked that the ending was left open for the reader to envision how Janie's story might turn out. Will she and Cabel make it? Did she help her mother? How did she deal with college? I think this was the whole point of the book ending this way because Janie didn't have answers to those questions right now, either.
I guess nothing super big happened in this book, but it was interesting to learn more about Janie and where her ability came from. I liked the dilemma Janie was faced with and how she handled it. I also really liked how she fully came to terms with her ability and is helping the one person who need its most in her life -- her mom.

I liked the first two books enough to actually read them. When this one finally came out, I read a few chapters and stopped. I couldn't remember what was really going on enough to like it and I didn't like the first books enough to reread them to understand this one. The books have a good premise though. Maybe I'd like it more if I had more time to give it, but there are other books I'd rather give my time to.
Gone is the last book in the Dream Catcher series by the wonderful Lisa McMann.
Gone is my least favorite book in this series. I guess because Wake and Fade were really suspenseful and fast paced, and Gone was not. I would have liked to see a different ending for Janie and Cabel, but this one was better than what could have happened.
Cabel is great in this book, as in the previous books. He's a wonderful boyfriend to Janie. Janie was a little bit on the whiney side in this book. I kept wanting to tell her to suck it up. But, with the issues she was faced with, I can't really blame her for being that way. The introduction of the dad really explained a lot, as did getting to read more of her past.
I really enjoyed all the books in this series, and I hate to see them end!
Happy Reading!

Estuvo entretenido y como siempre super corto, pero está bien por que no da vueltas como otros libros que no terminan más.
Lo que si, se nota que son libros viejos, la manera en la que está escrito y todo, necesitaría una editada mejor.
Al final es una trilogía diferente y cortísima pero que al menos a mí me entretuvo mucho

Nothing more to say about this trilogy than I've already said. I will say that I thought the "mystery" in this book was a little anticlimatic after the last two books.
This has been sitting on my shelf for awhile and I loved the first two books. Lisa McMann is one of my favorite authors and is one of the sweetest authors I've met. So, it pains me to rate this so low.
I just felt really let down with the conclusion of the series. Gone didn't have the same exciting pace that the other books had. There seemed to be many things missing. I didn't feel as invested in the characters and Janie annoyed me at times. Cabel seemed very blah and lacked depth, which was terrible because I really liked him in Wake and Fade. Things were wrapped up somewhat anti-climatically in the final book, and it was a bummer I didn't get that feeling of never wanting the series to end which I usually get when I finish a really good series.
Can someone please tell me whether the Captain was a man or woman? It's been quite some time since I've read Fade, but I recall the Captain being female. Here's the reason for my confusion: Pg 72 Captain is referred to as Sir, Pg 200 "one never knows with her" (referring to the Captain), also on Pg 200 the Captain says "I was a boy scout," and Pg 204 (again referring to the Captain) "She smiles and watches Janie go." So what is the Captain? It drove me crazy throughout the whole book the characters gender switching. I know it probably doesn't really matter, but I prefer to think of the character as female so that Janie has a positive female role to look up to.
One last aspect that drove me crazy while reading was Carrie's way of speaking. I don't know if Lisa was going for a UPer jargon (someone from the Upper Peninsula), teen jargon, or a mix of both. For example, she says "yadamean," which translates to you know what I mean. Being a Michigander I don't know any one who says those words that fast to sound like "yadamean." It's just weird and gets annoying to read after awhile.
There is one thing that Lisa is always really good at and that is her scene building. The dream sequences have unique settings that pertain to the characters and are interesting to psychoanalyze. I can picture the scenes easily in my head and even pick out fine details because of the way Lisa describes the setting.
Cover Comments: It was the simplicity, yet eye catching cover that drew me in and made me want to read Wake. All the other covers of the series has had the same appeal. The main image of Wake is obvious in it's meaning, but the other two will make sense once you've read the books.

The last two in the series were underwhelming and I didn’t want to continue anymore. I have read them in the past and don’t feel like I’ll be missing much.
