Wake has an interesting premise, okay plot line, poor writing, and no character development, and in those ways reminded me of a James Patterson novel. There are millions of people over the world who love books like this, and it's no harm I guess, really. From about the fifth page, when I realized th...

Perhaps it was the short sentence structure or it was the constant reminder of the date and time whi...

This book was really interesting. The narrative is very simple and straightforward but it just sucks you right into this dream world. I really felt all of Janie's confusion as she tried to learn how to control her talent. And I fell in love with Cabe right from the start. Can not wait to read the se...

Interesting enough to make me want to read the rest of the trilogy, Wake should be given a chance but if it doesn’t get you within the first ¼ of the book, don’t be afraid to put it down. .. please read the full review here

I have been seeing these books on the Young Adult cart and being checked out a lot, but never looked into them. Then I went to a book reading Caris was doing at Evermore Nevermore in Mesa and Lisa McMann was there. I didn't say anything to her, but Caris told me her books were pretty good, so I deci...
