The Awakening (Mini-Review)

The Awakening 

(Darkest Powers, #2)

By: Kelley Armstrong

Release Date: April 28th, 2009

Genre(s): YA Fantasy/Paranormal

My Review: (4/5 stars*)

The Awakening was a lot better than The Summoning by bounds. A solid 4 star rating. What The Summoning failed at The Awakening accomplished; lot's of action and suspense. Picks up right where The Summoning left off, Chloe's trapped and on the run. The character's have a lot more depth and growth going on in this book making it even more entertaining. Though a pretty easy and quick read just like the previous book this one tends to be more memorable and enjoyable than the last. A fun read that will have you racing through it to find out what happens next.

SYNOPSIS:

Betrayed she turns to the most unlikely of allies to make it out alive and help her supernatural friends find Simon and Derek's father - the only one they believe can help them out of this mess.
