Jacob LeBlanc has returned to Colorado, recovering from amnesia. But even while he was living in Massachusetts, there was one thing he “forgot” to tell Stacey Brown about – his girlfriend back home.

An epilogue to the fabulous Blue Is for Nightmares series, this graphic novel lacks the tense suspense that made the first four text-only books so awesome. The dreams and magic are here, as are Stacey’s pals, but this romance really could’ve used a plot that wasn’t just about their relationship. Recommended for graphic novel fans only (this format just doesn’t work for me), regular BIFN readers who skip this aren’t missing out on anything important.
