Since the events of Wake, Janie Hannagan has been working for the police, along with secret boyfriend Cabel. There’s a new case in the works at Fieldridge High, and undercover ‘Dream Catcher’ Janie is the only person with the skills to uncover the secret.
FADE is really a teen crime novel with a dash of paranormalcy (my new word) thrown in. I prefer my paranormal fiction with the paranormal a bit more prominent, while this book deals mostly with the crime drama/romance part, but in the end, it made the book’s chemistry just right. The passage of time marked by time stamps instead of prose really makes it feel like a case file sometimes, which helps set the mood for the story.
The book is really well written, and it’s always nice when characters have fully developed problems and background stories. Although, the two main characters have such sad pasts, it sometimes seems like they’re just trying to have themselves a pity-party, but it does make some of the character motives more believable, because really, they’re all each other has.
The Recommendation – FADE is perfect for fans of crime drama and romance. But I must warn you, there are some graphic elements in this book, including much cussing, and some scenes that are not sexually graphic, but, let’s say, sensual. (Just in case you can’t handle that kind of thing.)
The Other Books – I already own WAKE, the first book in the trilogy, and I really think I might buy GONE, the final book. I’m really curious to see how the story ends.
The Vitals* – FADE is available in hardcover for about $15.99, and WAKE is available in hardcover ($15.99) and Paperback ($8.99).
