| Title: Gone |
| Author: Lisa McMann |

| Grade: B+ |
| Comments: Gone is the conclusion of the trilogy that started with Wake. Janie discovers that someone from her past has come back into her life in a troubling manner and the more she finds out about him the more she has to face her own fears of what will happen to her in the future as a result of her powers.
This book is more of a return to the first book which seemed to be more about Janie and what she was going to. Fade was more about trying to solve the case of the teachers and the drug and alcohol induced underage orgy. Gone lacks the intensity of Fade, but Janie’s personal journey is interesting especially as we’ve gotten to know her and Cabel so well. The stakes are still high, but more personal. The story is still written in the fast paced, spare style that will attract reluctant readers although they will have to read the first two books in the series to enjoy this one.
