Gone the last book on the Dream Catcher trilogy. Janie is still struggling to deal with her life as a dream catcher and the consequences. Her dad appears in the picture, who happens to be more alike to her than what she thought. Her mom is a disappointment like always. Cabel the ever supported boyfriend. Martha Stubin the helping ghost hand. Captain her moral support.

This book deals more about what it means to be a catcher. What could happen depends on Janie's decision. It's really descriptive, it really makes you see what going on. While I like how it ended, there wasn't so much that stuck with me like Wake and my favorite Fade. I enjoyed it, but was expecting more. More from Janie's mother; I wanted her to care. Henry, Janie's father, wasn't that exciting, only the secret which separate him from Janie's mother. Cabel, with conflicting thought and emotions, was the same as always. I wanted more than decisions. Janie's fighting for improvement and becoming more mature, like the last two book. Not Janie kind of giving up and letting things flow. Like it but not love it. 3.5 to 4 Stars

Reader reviewed by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, The Original H.I.R. (Historical Investigative Reporter)

Being a teenager is hard enough without being a dream-catcher. But that's just what Jannie Hannigan is--a dream-catcher who gets sucked into other people's terrifying nightmares.

Gone, by Lisa McMann, is a great book for sci-fi or paranormal fans. It is fast-paced and creative, mixing blossoming romance with a pinch of parental heartbreak and a cup of cursing and f-bombs to make for a most enjoyable read.

When the book opens, Janie is struggling to make a decision about her curse--er, gift. For Janie, dream-catching is physically and mentally exhausting, not to mention terrifying. Janie knows that if she doesn't completely isolate herself, her gift will leave her blind and crippled. The problem is, isolating herself means being without her boyfriend Cabel, whom she dearly loves.

Just when Janie is convinced that the best course of action is to simply disapppear (which will break poor Cabel's heart), a stranger comes into her life. She is instantly sucked into his nightmares, but in the process, she discovers secrets about her drunken mother, her beloved boyfriend, her unwanted gift...and best of all, herself.

If you like your mysteries and romances topped off with a big helping of nail-biting terror, be sure to read a copy of Gone. But don't fall asleep.
