Vampire Vocab

I love this book. It doesn’t even have Vampires, but I still love it. Truly exceptional, with amazing plot twists, vivid characters, a unique plot. I can but hope that one day I can write as well as Lisa Mcmann, the author.

But I’m seriously ticked off at her for not writing the sequel to Fade, the second book.

Therefore, I hope that she’s sufficiently narcissistic that she Googles her own name and sees this post, and my undying adoration for her, and thus, is spurred to write the third book. Unlikely, I know, but a girl can dream, can’t she? Also, in my pathetic fantasy, she dedicates the third book to Vampire Vocab. Yet more unlikely, so I shall continue to bank my hopes on her simply writing another book.

Well, this is actually a book review, not a pity party for a sad bibliophile, so here goes:

Wake by Lisa Mcmann stars Janie Hannagan, a girl who is mysteriously cursed to be sucked into others dreams. Living with her drunk mother is difficult, and her only dream is to go to college and escape the doldrums of  her cursed life. Then she meets Cabel Strumheller, a boy who has the most hideous nightmares Janie has ever witnessed. In addition to that, Janie hears rumors that Cabel is involved with drugs and that doesn’t fit with Janie’s image of him. With growing certainty, Janie realizes that she’s not the only one with a secret…but that the truth might be more sickening than anything else.

On the meter, this ties with Tithe with a whopping 9.5. This is really an amazing book, I can’t seem to recommend it enough.
