Genre: Young Adult/Fantasy
Author: Lisa McMann was born in Holland, Michigan. She moved to Arizona in 2004 and resides there with her husband and two boys. She enjoys cooking, reading, swimming and hanging out with her family. She also enjoys watching reality TV. Writing has been her dream since the fourth grade.
The idea for The Dream Catcher Series was inspired by a dream. She dreamed that she was in her husband's dream (about rainbows and kittens) and this story spiraled from there.
Other books by Lisa McMann include Wake, Fade, and Gone (all part of The Dream Catcher Series) and Cryer's Cross
Synopsis: This is the sequel to Wake. The series is about a young woman, Janie, who can go in other people's dreams. She works with the police department to help solve crimes but while doing that she's learning more and more about her "gift" and what the long term affects will be on her. Needless to say, it's a little bit scary.
Review: This was a fun read. It was quick and one of those that I just couldn't keep my nose out of. There is some heavy language in it however which prevented me from giving it five stars. However, I think that the story line is great. There is no puppy love that seems to be prominent in today's young adult novels so that was refreshing. The teenager working for the police seemed a bit far fetch but, hey, it's fiction! :)
Rating: **** Four Stars
