Ratings and reviews

Awakened by Brenda K. Davies Genres: Adult(ish), Paranormal, Romance 3.5 Stars Negatives & Positives I liked it for the most part. I only found a couple of minor editing errors. My biggest problem was the characters maturity levels seem a bit younger than their age to me. The main female and her friends should be about 21. Possibly even 22. They all have 3 years of college behind them. A lot of their actions makes me think of them like they are fresh out of high school. The romance is mostly sweet and the sex between Liam & Sere is steamy. It is also filled with a lot of emotion. There is a bit of suspense, angst, drama, violence and an HEA. Although this wasn't quite up to my speed, mature adults between the ages 17 to late 20's would most likely love it. This is my 2nd read of this story and I already have the other 2 books downloaded in a bundle. I will eventually read book 2. Hopefully that one will be more my speed.

This book is not about traditional vampires! First of all, they still have a heart beat! Second of all, they still sweat! They also go out during the day! The sex isn't realistic either. Sera is human! She shouldn't be able to have rough sex with a vampire! His strength would injure her if not kill her! I haven't finished reading the book yet, but I don't think I will be able to. The author has other books that are way better than this one.

After reading the reviews, I had high hopes for this book, but it seriously fell short. The characters are one dimensional, and the story is immensely dull. I was not gripped by the plot at all and had to force myself through it, repeatedly hoping it would improve. It didn't.
