SYNOPSIS:
((IF YOU HAVEN'T READ WAKE PLEASE DO NOT READ MY SYNOPSIS!))
In the second thrilling novel in the Wake trilogy, Janie Hannagan knows what she is: A dream catcher. But she's about to find out all that comes with it and its not going to be pretty.
After she is hired by the Captain she must take on an important mission: A teacher in the school is a predator and its up to Janie and Cabel to find out who it is before its to late...

REVIEW:
At first this novel started off slow for me but unlike the first one, it picked up pace and it was a great read! There was so much action and mystery going on at first spent by wondering who the predator is and when you find out that rush you feel along with Janie and Cabel when they go after him/her (not giving anything away!) This was a very quick read and it was also fun and it also comes with warning, stuff like this happens everyday in schools across the country that we are not aware of, it makes you realize that you need to watch out and keep eyes open at all time because no one is ever truly safe. But, on a lighter note, this novel was really good and I look forward to reading the next one.

Tw: SA
So, I liked some of it.
I am a social worker. Cabel clearly has PTSD. He’s confused/scared how to fully love, fine. I understand. BUT.
You’re just gonna ignore your girlfriend and act like an ass because she *could* have been raped/hurt/whatever else after something traumatic happened to her? She got drugged and sexually assaulted/violated and you’re like “aw man idk if I can deal with this” ? Fuck you, guy. Liked you a lot up until that, now I’m a tad soured on him.
I also don’t have an answer to where/how/why “dream catching” happens. Is it a gene? Is it magic? Hereditary? Like, it just manifests randomly for no rhyme or reason in anyone, which makes it less believeable (I know it’s a fantasy/YA/fiction but still). Also I get the entries follow actual thought processes and stuff but some of it is still so choppy.

Regardless, I did enjoy enough to read in its entirety, and feel anger and other emotions about the bust on the teachers and Janie finding out she’ll deteriorate fast.

I like the idea behind this series, but I haven’t enjoyed the stories themselves much. I feel like some parts of the plot are oversimplified while others are made more complicated than they need to be. The resolution of the sex predator storyline is really predictable, and the trouble between Janie and Cade seems forced and unnecessary, like the author just threw it in for dramatic effect. I don’t particularly like the characters, either. I don’t think I’ll be reading the rest of this series.

i liked this book, like i liked wake, however, i feel there is a little too much profanity and sexuality for a book for teenagers... i hate that!

Richtig toll das Buch, aber das Ende ist ein bisschen traurig.

Athough Wake felt like it could have been the end, Lisa always gives us more and it never feels tacky. The extended story is always done so well. The development between Cade and Janie is nicely done as well.

I didn't like this quite as well as the first book. The story was good, but something failed to connect with me. I also was annoyed with the partial sentences on separate lines. Like this:
She woke up.
And found a cookie.
Then ate it.
It was worse at the beginning, and then either it stopped, or I didn't notice it anymore, but it was bad enough to take me out of the story when I did notice it. This is also one of the most depressing books I've ever read. It almost seems hopeless, although the author does give the reader a small ray of hope at the end. I will continue on with the series, but I really hope something happy happens, even if it doesn't necessarily have a happy ending.
