I just love to read! For me, it is a way to escape and discover new worlds, to do things you never thought possible, to explore emotions and feelings through words, and I can do it all in the comfort of my imagination. And even though they are not real, I believe the characters you meet in books can change your life and the way you see the world, if you let them.

Wake by Lisa MsMann

Synopsis:
Not all dreams are sweet. For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people's dreams is getting old. She can't tell anybody about what she does -- they'd never believe her, or worse, they'd think she's a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn't want and can't control. Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else's twisted psyche. She is a participant....


My review
This book was just ok for me. I think it was the writing style that was my least favorite aspect. While it was engaging I think if I had not been interested in the characters I would have not liked the book because it was a very choppy 3rd person perspective. I was also thrown off by the direction the story took which I guess is what kept me interested because I had to know where this was going. The story did grow on me as I read so now I know I have to read the second book. Guess that book did what it came to do-get me interested so I would keep going. This is probably one of the shortest reviews I have written in a long time because I usually go on and on about books I hate or love which just proves this book did not have a huge effect on me.
