Synopsis
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 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.

Summary:
Janie is able to enter the dreams and nightmares of the people who sleep around. This ability shows her things she does not want, fatigue and prevents her from leading a normal life. Until she enters those of Caleb. Witnessed atrocities and romance, then her life takes a different direction. Will she finally be able to trust someone?
Reactions:
A entertaining, charming and captivating story. From the first lines, the reader is immersed in the life of Janie who is able to enter the dreams and nightmares of her entourage. She feels the intimacy of the dreamers, their anxieties, their fears as well as their fantasies.
This plot made me smile...Imagine if this ability was given to someone you know ? Hou would you feel ?Raped ? Angry ? Our dreams are often inconsistent, whimsical or frightening, but nobody would disclose or share them. They are all our buried secrets that can only resurface at night. Some dreams described in this story made me remember mine. Because who has not imagined find themselves naked in public?
The second part of the novel is a blend of romance, as it explores the fragile and moving story between Jamie and Caleb, and scenes from the series "Medium" with Patricia Arquette. We start in a new direction with pobable tracks on the future that awaits Jamie later in the trilogy.
I had a great experience readng "Wake". This book kept me alert. I've even felt a little pinch in my heart. "Fade" will be naturally my next reading because I'm curious to find out and to follw the further adventures of Caleb and Jamie.
Sentences
From Caleb: “ Now. Tell me what else you’ ve seen in my dreams, before I get really paranoid.”
From Caleb: “ Dreams are not memories, Janie. They’ re hopes and fears. Indications of other life stresses. I thought you of all people would know the difference.” He walks out.

Synopsis traduit de l'Américain:
Pour Janie, dix-sept ans, se faire aspirer dans les rêves des autres est devenue une vieille histoire. Surtout les rêves où les gens se sentent tomber, ceux ou les gens sont nus mais personne ne s'en rend compte ou bien les rêves de sexes endiablés. Janie a assez vu de fantasmes de cul pour toute sa vie.

Résumé:
Janie possède le don d'entrer dans les rêves et les cauchemars des gens qui s'endorment autour d'elle. Cette aptitude lui montre des choses qu'elle ne veut pas voir, la fatigue et l'empêche de mener une vie normale. Jusqu'au jour ou elle pénètre dans ceux de Caleb. Témoin d'atrocités et de romance, sa vie prend alors une toute autre direction. Pourra-t-elle enfin faire confiance à quelqu'un ?
Impressions:

La seconde partie du roman est un mélange de romance car on se penche sur l'histoire fragile et émouvante entre Caleb et Jamie et de scènes tirées de la série « Medium » avec Patricia Arquette. On part dans une nouvelle direction avec des pistes sur le futur qui attend probablement Jamie dans la suite de cette trilogie.
J'ai passé un moment très agréable qui m'a maintenu en alerte et même pincer un peu le coeur. « Fade » sera donc naturellement m'a prochaine lecture afin de connaître la suite des aventures de Caleb et Jamie.
