To be perfectly honest, I didn't remember much from the first book when I started reading this. On the plus side, that didn't hinder my enjoyment at all. I still think the dream catcher idea is really interesting, I just wish there was actually more plot involved. The case that Janie and Cabel were working on was super predictable. There was the obvious bad guy that they were after, but I also had a feeling about who the other bad guys were. It takes some of the fun out of everything if I can figure stuff out, because I'm usually not any good at it. Also, Cabel really annoyed me a lot of the time in this one. He was always unnecessarily upset with Janie about something, even if it was about things out of her control. Hopefully he gets better in the next book.
