Gone
The third and final book in the paranormal teen series that includes The New York Times bestseller Wake and Fade.
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.
At First Sight:
I just love all the covers of this series. They are symbolic and yet simple. There's not too much that crowds the cover which is basically how I like them. I've read this series and I've fallen in love and learned to appreciate Lisa's style of writing.
My Thoughts:
I was afraid to know how this series will end but I think that it really tied up all the knots that were necessary. It left enough amibuity to let the reader imagine how Janie's future will be like.
This book was emotional, and sometimes hard to read. But it was Lisa's lyrical and poetic style of writing that made me stay reading the story. I really loved Janie's character and I thought that throughout the series, she's really grown to accept who she is and what she can do.
Overall, it was a good end to a series, it was not explosive like some thrillers are but it was peaceful and left a good feeling at the end.
In one sentence:
"Stunning."

Hi, I'm a new follower :-) Love the look of your blog!
I read this series almost a year ago & enjoyed it. I thought the storyline was something different than your typical YA reads. Have you heard about Lisa McMann's new book coming out in 2011? It's called Cryer's Cross -- it sounds like it will be just as interesting!
Look forward to reading more from your blog!
