I thought the final book of this trilogy played out nicely with our heroine, Janie, coming to a crossroads with her gift/curse. Cabel is as ideal of a boyfriend as always, and the book made for a very quick and interesting read.

Considering that this book was the last in it's series I wish it had ended a little happier.
It was sad to find that her Dad lived a lonely life to get away from the dream catching but still it ended up as a consequence. The fact that he was a nice guy didn't help either.
I wish Janie's Mum had've wised up and cleaned up her act in the end because her mother was nothing but a useless woman.
I felt real sorry for Cabel because of their love for one another but I'm glad she chose to stay with him and I'm glad he wanted to stay with her no matter what.
All in all, not as good as the first two books in the series but a good read nonetheless.

 A good end to this great series. I honestly didn't know how it was going to end, because nothing looked like a good way out. I did like that we got some background on Janie's father. I honestly never actually thought about where she got her dream talent from, looking back, it should have been obvious. Cabel still remains my favorite character in the books. I just love that his love is so pure for her and he's willing to stand by her through whatever may come. Great series.

Now, here's to hoping that Miley doesn't actually play Janie in the movie. lol

3.75 stars.
Not completely satisfied with how it all wrapped up, but I didn't hate it or anything like that. Just expected some more... angst. (I love angst in books).
I liked that it didn't have a proper plot. The entire book was basically about Janie and the decisions she had to make.
The romance wasn't strong in this on, though :( and that sucked because I think it plays a really important role in Janie's life... Besides, they're cute, ok?

Probably this would be more like 2.5, but it's an automatic loss of a half star when the author writes about a character being half Jewish. NOT POSSIBLE. So, it wasn't THAT bad, but it definitely wasn't great. Janie is a tad self-centered. While I know she has this issue, it's just a lot sometimes. The narrator is slightly childish sounding, and Janie is supposed to be out of high school at this point. I don't like it when the adults in the YA novels are hard to take seriously. They seem to be just as mature as the kids, which doesn't run true. I guess this was an okay installment.
