Review: Fantastic Sequel

Kim Hornsby's "The Dream Jumper's Secret" picks up right where "The Dream Jumper's Promise" leaves off (you really should read that book first before starting this one!).  Tina and Jamey are figuring out their new relationship and just beginning to combine their separate lives, until secrets from Janey's past come to the surface, and threaten to not just split Tina and Jamey up, but possibly endanger both their lives as well.This novel is every bit as compelling as the first book in the series; the author's prose is crisp, and she has a fantastic eye for detail, whether it's describing a dive in the beautiful waters of Hawaii, or a village in war-torn Afghanistan.  Also as in the first book, Tina is a heroine who's both believable and rootable - and also very human.Where the first novel was more of a mystery, this book delves into a war story, as well as exploring the rules of "dream jumping" more deeply.  The story switches back and forth between Tina's and Jamey's perspectives, and, like the first book, we meet a variety of great secondary characters (Jamey's father especially stands out, to me).All in all, this is a fun and exciting read (I bought it yesterday afternoon, and I just couldn't put it down!), and I highly recommend it.  The best news is on the last page: the author promises us another adventure with Tina and Jamey, coming later this year.
