Fade by Lisa McMann
Fade by Lisa McMann is the sequel to the popular bestseller Wake which I reviewed this past December. Recently, Lisa McMann was also gracious enough to give readers of the Maw Books Blog an author interview and talk about both Wake and Fade.
In Fade, Janie is learning how to control her ability to fall into other peoples dreams but her body is taking a toll because of it. She can’t seem to get enough calories, her black out episodes are becoming longer and longer and her hands are becoming arthritic. Her unwanted ability is literally killing her. How long does she really have? Janie and her boyfriend Cabel are working for the police department undercover at the high school where they suspect one of the teachers is a sexual predator. Janie uses her powers to get inside other people’s heads to get close to the teacher and then ultimately draw him in. The work is dangerous and Fade is darker than Wake because of it. Janie and Cabel are on again and off again so lots of great romance as well.
I can’t wait for the sequel to see how being a dream catcher plays on Janie’s body and what her and Cabel are up to next. A fun, intense series.

This does sound more interesting than I was thinking originally. I may give this series a try!
on March 24th, 2009 at 2:25 amVery intriguing! I love the cover too. It would catch my eye in a bookstore. I may try this series…
on March 24th, 2009 at 3:37 amI keep reading good things about this series.
on March 24th, 2009 at 6:56 amThe series does look good, and I love series.
on March 24th, 2009 at 7:14 amThis books sounds like it might be more in depth than the first. I definitely want to read it.
on March 24th, 2009 at 7:59 amI just bought Wake for my Kindle. Looking forward to reading both of these.
on March 24th, 2009 at 9:07 amI’ve been seeing both these books everywhere! I think I will definitely need to read them soon. Thanks for the review, Natasha!
on March 24th, 2009 at 10:10 amI’m on the fence about picking this one up. The first one had such pacing problems.
on March 24th, 2009 at 4:41 pmSounds like a good read. Very intense. Probably would make a good movie.

Amy – They are really quick reads. Escapism books. Worth the try.
Sandy – The covers are really eye catching aren’t they.
Kathy – They are really popular amongst the YA crowd.
Beth F. – I do need to start reading more series. I’ve always enjoyed them. Except the waiting part. I hate that.
S. Krishna – I would say it does have a bit more to it. The sexual predator bit definitely makes more story.
Frankie – Come back and tell me what you thought of it when you’re done!
Heather – That’s why I picked them up.
Liviania – I know Trish had problems with the pacing too but I think it’s totally done on purpose and works for the series.
Morgan – I wonder how the dream sequences would look on a movie. It could either be really bad or really good.
on March 24th, 2009 at 9:09 pmI plan on waiting for the third one to come out and read them all at once. Everybody seems to love these books!
on March 25th, 2009 at 1:38 amI finally book WAKE on hold at the library, based on what started with your recommendation. I’ll have to keep FADE in mind after I read it.
on March 25th, 2009 at 8:45 amWow! I don’t remember seeing a review for Wake but these books sounds incredibly intriguing!! The idea of dreamcatchers have always really interested me.
on March 26th, 2009 at 8:50 pmThanks for the review. I bought this for my daughter not realizing it was the second in a series. She really liked it, though. I’ll have to steal it away from her and give it a try.
on March 29th, 2009 at 2:03 pmI really want to read this one. Thanks for the review!
on March 31st, 2009 at 2:42 pmI loved both of these books…can’t wait for the third!
on April 3rd, 2009 at 4:42 amher boyfriends name is cabel not caleb I think I would notice that since the guy i likes name is caleb and she often calls cabel cabe
on April 5th, 2009 at 8:33 pmyeah, her boyfriend you talk about… his name is Cabel… not Caleb… if you actually read it you would know that she always calls him “Cabe” not “Cale”.
….boom.
on May 5th, 2009 at 7:47 amAnd no, i didn’t read that comment that “tink” said before i wrote that.
on May 5th, 2009 at 7:48 am… i still owned you.
Tink & Travis – Simply, mistyped the name, my apologies. Will be changing now. Cabel and Caleb. Not hard to mistype. And of course, I read the book.
