Fade - by Lisa McMann

As soon as I finished the book Wake and read a preview about the sequel I had to get the second part of the trilogy.
Fade starts where the first book let you off.

But first a brief summary again from the back of the book:
For Janie and Cabel, real life is getting tougher than the dreams. They're just trying to carve out a little (secret) time together, but no such luck. Disturbing things are happening at Fieldridge High, yet nobody's talking. When Janie taps into a classmate's violent nightmares, the case finally breaks open--but nothing goes as planned. Not even close. Janie's in way over her head, and Cabe's shocking behavior has grave consequences for them both.
Worse yet, Janie learns the truth about herself and her ability. And it's bleak. Seriously, brutally bleak. Not only is her fate as a Dream Catcher sealed, but what's to come is way darker than she'd even feared...

At the very end of the first book Wake we learn that Janie has started to be an undercover cop (just like Cabel) for their boss who they simply have to call `Captain`.
We find out that Mrs. Stubin has been working for Captain for many many years too (until she got really sick and passed away). Captain knows about Janie's ability from the beginning - and when a phone call gets into the station Captain does not hesitate to ask for Janie's help in that case.
Janie got better with controlling her appearance in the dreams of others - she can pause and look around in the dream to find clues, she can also speed up or slow down the actions and most of all she can help have a positive turnout for the dreamer.
Because he is still in love with her, Cabel volunteers his dreams for Janie to practice.

But how can the crime that occurred at Janie's high school be solved if she does not know into which dream she has to fall into to find all the evidence that is needed to bust the bad guy(s)???

If you read this book who will find out...

Again, I loved this book and I got drawn into it from page one - I love that.
Unfortunately I did not find the third installment of the trilogy - which is titled Gone.
