fade was a bit better than the first book but I don't get how she's always leaving her mom letting her be a drunk etc her and cable relationship is like child's play it's obvious that he has abandonment issues and Janie is having a issue with her sleeping dream powers and she feels alone in the ...
This is so much better than the first book! It's just really addicting to read. I especially adore Janie and Cabel's scenes. :)As much as I want to read more about Janie and Cabel's relationship and Janie's ability, a lot of people says it's better to stop in this 2nd book because the last one is...
So after reading Wake I was a bit hesitant to pick this book up. Now I wouldn't say it was horrible, but it wasn't my favorite. The plot was super interesting, but I feel like there isn't any depth to the characters; Like I'm not attached to Janie or Cabel. Other than that, the story was great! S...
I literally cannot fathom how people gave this book 4 or 5 stars.She used, no words.The book was written in dot points.No emotion.No description.Somewhat like this review. I get that books should be fast paced but there is a difference between necessary description and no description. Also I hate...
I was disappointed in this story. I love other books by this author but this one missed the mark. I found the pacing to be slow. But my biggest issue was that the main character, Alex, seemed to be devoid of any personality. It was hard to root for him because he was the least interesting of a...
I started buying McMann books for my library, and perhaps many of my readers will be too young to appreciate them. This one is so singularly creepy, and it takes a lot of patience to keep involved if you are a younger teen. One of my students started it, but didn't like it. I had to read it to...
feel like the real rating I want to give this book is a 2.5. It was interesting enough, and I was curious enough to read to the end. Why I'm rating it down is because it was full of potential that I don't feel it reached. The voice was also not very male. There were very fun bits and times I laug...
Cute little story about a small town girl Kendall, who lost her best friend Nico in unusual circumstances. The problem was that I wanted more!More OCD dialogue, not just the motions, I wanted to go deep into her brain and be consumed by her obsessions. I wanted the story to be darker, more twiste...
predictable and disappointing Really, really liked until the end (if it can even be called an end) which was TERRIBLE!
I have read the other two books priori to this one and Unwanteds: Island of Fire is definitely by far my favorite. I loved the parts in the book where you would be on the edge of your seat waiting to find out a HUUUUGE cliffhanger. And when they actually resolve the problem, it's in a spectacular...
Island of Silence is a story about a boy named Alex Stowe and his friends who go on many magical adventures to islands, with creatures of different kinds, and learning there skills of all sorts. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure, action fantasy, and at the end of each chap...
Summary (*SPOILER ALERT*):Dak, Sera & Riq are time travelers, or Hystorians, that are time traveling to different eras to fix historical events that never should've happened. In this book, they are are in the 1800's to help the slaves and abolitionists win the war against slavery and stop slavery...
This is the third book in the Infinity Ring Series. Although it can be read a s a stand alone, it is much better read in order as part of the series. Dak, Sera, and Riq have use the Infinity Ring to travel through time and fix the breaks in history. They appear in the year 1850 during the time o...
Love the Unwanted books but book 3 is left at a critical moment so there will obviously be a book 4 but it hasn't been written yet. I prefer to read a series after the entire series is out so I wish I would have know and waited to read this series. There were so many open ends that the author is ...
The time travelers are back at it again. They are fixing the "breaks" in history through their own unique experiences. This one is my favorite so far because it is set in the US before the Civil War. The author really helps you experience how different our world is today than it was then. LIttle ...
Intrigued to read Wake now... I always love reading the other main characters point of view! So this was great but too short!! :)
I was sooooo confused!In fact, my brain was so boggled, I quit halfway through the book :(Yes, I am slightly ashamed to admit this ^^^. But I was so frustrated, and annoyed with the characters. I kept waiting for some sort of plot or character development to occur, and it just DIDN'T. So I refuse...
Okay, how to start?? Oh I know let's start with the fact that the writing format just wasn't my cup of tea. I've seen some people like that. Okay, there are more ways than one to do something.I still can't get over how unique the idea is! I just hate the storyline. The whole being a dream catcher...
Great book, really enjoyed it. Written with the originality of a classic. I was shocked for a few chapters and wasn't sure if I really liked the sudden change, but I came to my senses and I found the sudden twists an new characters cool and interesting. One thing though, the author Lisa Mcmann ma...
For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people's dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie's seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime. She can't tell anybody about what she does they'd never ...

There was only one injury so far—a Necessary on Aaron’s team who’d been a little too close to an incoming flaming tar ball had gotten burned. Alex and Simber shuttled the injured Necessary to the hospital ward, and then continued on to check on Liam and Haluki. One house in the quadrant nearest H...
It had been a cinch to start it’the instructions and spells were posted right next to the compass, practically begging them to take it for a ride. “This is more fun than flying on Simber’s back,” Lani shouted from the helm. She turned the wheel slowly from one side to the ...
He buries his fingers into her hair and kisses her. “You"re asking for trouble, Hannagan,” he growls. “And you would be…?” Janie asks. She giggles. “Trouble.” ON HER OWN February 5, 2006, 5:15 a.m. Janie, sprawled out on Cabel"s couch, finally finds Miss Stubin on Janie"s own terms. ı She"s on th...
The inquisitors are nowhere to be found on this side of the state. Here, at Charlie and Megan’s rental cabin on Fremont Lake, no one knows her. The days are peaceful but the nights . . . in a tiny cabin, the nights are bad. Dreams don’t take vacations when people do. It’s ...

Morning Stands Her Ground Oh, I know who you are, Governor Healy,” said Meghan, “and if I remember correctly, the last time you came here, my friend Samheed warned you never to come back or he’d kill you. Do you remember that?” “I-I-I—ah, yes,” said Liam, beginning to stutter and sweat profusely,...
Trey and I exchange a glance and Trey calls out, “Hey, Pops.” Dad looks up and smiles. “How’s my boy?” His voice booms. It always has. He’s been startling innocent children for as long as I can remember. Luckily, Trey did not inherit that trait. “Did you have a good day? Where’d you end up? Any o...
After his near epiphany the other night and his newfound powers in the jungle, Aaron was more eager than ever to have other people help him reorganize, reenergize, and rebuild Quill into something much more powerful than it had ever been before. He was anxious to take control of Artimé once and f...
Charlie asked. “Chimera Mark Five? Defense mode? Access code? What?” “Mark Five,” mused Maria. “Like Iron Man and his suits! I wonder if that means there’s a version four out there somewhere? And a three?” Charlie didn’t know much about Iron Man, but she too wondered why the bracelet would be cal...
“Back home, you think?” Trey asks as he pulls the meatball truck out of the parking lot across from Aunt Mary’s. He winces turning the wheel, and I know his shoulder must hurt, even though he doesn’t like to admit it. “Home would be the logical guess,” I say. And then I let out a huge sigh. “Now ...
