Gone by Lisa McMann

Gone by Lisa McMann
"Janie thought she knew what her future held. And she thought she'd made her peace with it. But she can't handle dragging Cabel down with her.

She knows he will stay with her, despite what she sees in his dreams. He's amazing. And she's a train wreck. Janie sees only one way to give him the life he deserves--she has to disappear. And it's going to kill them both.

Then a stranger enters her life--and everything unravels. The future Janie once faced now has an ominous twist, and her choices are more dire than she'd ever thought possible. She alone must decide between the lesser of two evils. And time is running out..."- summary from Lisa's site

The final book in the Wake trilogy is a doozy of a book, full of twists and revelations as well as some great angst and romance between Janie and Cabel. McMann's writing is still very tight and simple and easy to read; her prose becomes almost lyrical at points in the book. A lot of questions are answered and of course others are brought up (and answered), and it's a satisfying read. The trilogy definitely is tied up well and you can tell this is the final book, but there's also this sense of ambiguity at the end that makes it seem like there could be more at some point in the future. I have no idea if this will happen, but even if it doesn't, I'm content enough with the ending here.
