Dream Catcher

Rating: 4/5

Review: A good ending to the Wake trilogy, but I was left with a slight feeling of unfinished business. It's a very fast read, though, as usual. This time we see more of Janie's alcoholic mother, and just how hard it is to deal with something like that. We also meet Janie's father, who turns out to be a dream catcher. He's dying, though, and Janie must help him cross over. Then there's the choice that Janie has to make. One way turns out to be just as bad, if not worse, then the other. So, what's worse? Staying with the guy she loves and going blind in her twenties, or isolating herself and being alone for the rest of her life? Of course, there's more to that, but I don't want to give everything away.

Book Description:
Things should be great for Janie—she has graduated from high school and is spending her summer with Cabel, the guy she’s totally in love with. But deep down she’s panicking about how she’s going to survive her future when getting sucked into other people’s dreams is really starting to take its toll.Things get even more complicated when she meets her father for the very first time—and he’s in a coma. As Janie uncovers his secret past, she begins to realize that the choice thought she had has more dire consequences than she ever imagined.
