Wake(Dream Catcher #1) by Lisa McMann
Dreams, we all have them. Sometimes we remembered them, sometimes not. They may be what on our subconscious we desired the most or completely the opposite. But for Janie Hannagan, dreams are her worst nightmare, and they aren't even her dreams. She is not a ordinary seventeen year old girl, she has the power to witness that dreams of people who happen to fall asleep close to her. Of course, she doesn't likes it; but, she can't seem to do anything about it since the first time she experienced it, when she was only eight years old. She hasn't told anyone about it; doesn't want to be called a freak. But, when Cabel, a fellow classmate, falls asleep in the same place as her, she enters his dreams and everything changes. She feels he would understand her. She doesn't just fall in his dreams, she falls in his life, and may also be falling in love with him. With his help, she would learned how to control the dreams by helping those who dreamed them to change their dreams, so they can learned from them and accomplished unfinished tasks in real life.
Although, I found the writing a bit weird at the beginning, it somehow work rather perfect for the story, making it unique and pleasant to read.
I found myself really enjoying getting into the characters dreams along with Janie. I love the story's premise. The format of giving the time and date on sections was a helpful surprise. The book has a dreamlike quality to it. The descriptions of the dreams, and the actions taken in real life, contributed to the great quality of this book. I'm looking forward to Fade. They are still some holes to be filled. Enjoyable read. 4.5 Stars

This was a pretty good book, as was the rest of the series. I love all the characters, especially Miss Stubin, for some odd reason. 
The part where Cabel's doings aren't exactly what they seem was my favorite!

I thought they were a cute quick read but I won't be rereadin it in the future.
I like the concept of the story but not the execution. It brought things up a lot, like Melinda's crush on Carrie, then never went anywhere with it. Also the ending was just too happy for me. She had all these problems and in the last few pages they just dissapeared. I wouldve liked to see some more story. Like a few more chapters.
Rating: 2.5/5 even though I overall thought it was a good plot idea.
