Fade by Lisa McMann


*****
Fade by Lisa McMann

I was hoping that Fade would be better than Wake, but I wasn't hoping too hard. Wake was fantastic even if it was too short and a tad choppy. Those same 'flaws' are in Fade and it is every bit as good as Wake.

Janie and Cabe are back undercover at their high school this time working to stop a teacher that is suspected of being a sexual predator based off an anonymous phone call. The caller didn't say which teacher which is where Janie & Cabe come in. Captain Komisky thinks the deviant is probably male though which puts Janie in far more danger than Cabe, an issue Cabe has a hard time coming to terms with.

Even though that takes up the majority of the plot there is still plenty of time for Janie and Cabel to sort through their own personal issues together. Janie is still learning how to control her dreams and the dreams of others and Cabel's doing his best to try not to be too overprotective. He has a hard time of it and the results are adorable.

I think I even liked Fade better than Wake because they are together so much. Also, the action ties up nicely by the end but leaves plenty of room for a third book with Janie and Cabel.
