Awakened, Brenda K. Davies - 4 Stars
College life will never be the same for Sera and friends. An excellent student whose past has kept her at arms reach from the boys on campus, it takes the enigmatic Liam to try to break down Sera's walls. Halfway through the book a major curveball is tossed into the mix when Sera learns that Liam, though loving and kind, hides a secret that must be kept a lifetime. Actually one of many. Whether Sera can abandon the life she's created for herself and give up the one she's dreamed of becomes the truly gripping portion of this book.
Ms. Davies writes the tension between Sera and Liam quite well, but the beginning of the book was slow for me... but once we got into the heart of the book (pun intended), the book picked up pace and became intriguing.
Where authors such as Christine Feehan focus on the mystical aspects of paranormal creatures and their active fight for survival, in Awakened, Ms. Davies spins another approach where those who are different seek the solace of their own company and the desire to remain anonymous. But will they?
A very quick read... I am looking forward to finishing the series.
