The Waking of Ghosts (Lost Souls book 1_
Lilliana Rose
The Waking of Ghosts is another great book by Lilliana Rose. This one focuses on the Lost Souls or the mifits of the paranormal world. There are vampires, shifters, witches, fae, ghost hunters. The book starts out talking about Amy, who is the founder of the Lost Souls Academy. She stumbles upon a library that is full of books so those that enroll in the Academy have plenty to read. Zarya is a witch and a ghost hunter and she has been shunned be her coven and family. She has been on her own for over a year, and would like to increase her skill at ghost hunting. When she is invited to the Academy she is unsure of whether she wants to join or not, and burns the invitation. She finds it and is drawn to it immediately. It’s a good thing because she has a ghost that seems attached to her, and she is going to have to be extra careful and very strong to defeat it. This book kept my attention from page 1 until the end. I have become quite a big fan of Ms. Rose’s books over the years, and this one did not disappoint me. I very much look forward to the 2nd book and continuing to read this newest saga.
If you like paranormal books then this is one for you.
This is book 1 in the start of an academy style, YA paranormal series. Well written and intriguing. I felt invested in the story line and really liked the characters. I can’t wait to read more.
This is book 1 in the Lost Souls Academy. Lost Souls is a new school opened to the paranormal misfits. This book has tons or twists. I was hooked from the start. I haven’t read a book by Liliana Rose that i didn’t like.
This was a really good start of a new series. I’m looking forward to the next book.
I really enjoyed this first book in Lilliana’s new series. Who doesn’t love a good paranormal book. Once I started reading I simply could not put it down. Definitely looking forward to book two of this series.
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
The book starts with the focus on Avery and how she gets the motivation to start the Academy of Lost Souls. Then we meet Zarya a half witch half ghost hunter which makes her a huge outcast. I must say she has some power in her own right making her an intriguing character to say the least. Add in some other students and things get interesting as she gets invited to attend. Leads to an interesting ending that leaves you with unanswered questions wishing the next book was out. Great world building filled with interesting paranormal characters. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
If you are a fan of paranormal books, this new series from Lilliana Rose is going to be good. The first book, The Waking of Ghosts, introduces just some of the paranormals that will get you intrigued.
Lost Souls Academy accepts paranormals who don’t fit in anywhere, a vampire with no fangs, a fairy with no wings, and others. When Zarya, a witch who has been kicked out of her coven and is also a ghosthunter, is being harassed by a ghost, she finds sanctuary at the Lost Souls Academy where she meets others and starts to learn a little more about her ghost.
Lilliana Rose has become a new favorite of mine and I am excited to see where she takes us in this new series.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I enjoyed reading about the characters and the overall storyline in this book.
The waking of Ghosts is the first instalment of a new academy series.
It’s told from multiple point of views, but our main character is Zarya.
She’s an outcast from her coven and a ghost hunter.
She didn’t finish her training as a witch but knows how to survive on the streets.
She’s the person you call when Ghosts are your problems.
The lost souls Academy is made up of paranormal misfits.
And i loved every second of this book. im ecited to read book 2 & 3
This book was a supernatural one of sorts. It was interesting, but it ended on a cliffhanger. I was also somewhat confused by the ending, but it was interesting and makes you want to read the next book.
This story introduces us to paranormal young adults who have been rejected by their own kind. The are brought together by a witch with revenge on her mind. This witch opens an academy to draw these lost ones to assist her plans for eventual revenge over those who have wronged her. This is an interesting and engrossing start to what promises to be a very good series. I’m curious to see what Zarya and the others learn in the next book, and where this new knowledge leads them.
Lilliana Rose is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors and this latest book definitely didn’t disappoint. This is the first book in a new paranormal series with many unique characters that keeps you invested in the story from start to finish. Witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts and ghost-hunters are among this unique group and I can’t wait to read all of their stories. Drama, action, intrigue and suspense are all the great makings of this book. I am anxiously awaiting book two!!
Witches, werewolves, vampires, and ghosts oh my. The thing is these characters are “black sheep” of their covens, packs, and clans. Welcome to the Lost Soul Academy. Who wouldn’t want to live in a academy located in a library. It was fun to get to know each character and their trait. As Zayra is trying to find her way there is evil out to get her.
There is plenty of action and twists to keep you reading. Just as Zayra starts to figure out the ghost who is haunting her the story ends on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read the next one.
Fast paced, full of action story that has great characters.
I really enjoyed this book and it’s the first book I’ve read about paranormal and enjoyed it in a long time. I can’t wait to read the next book to come out.
It’s amazingly written and makes you not want to put it down as it’s that good. I would recommend it to everyone to read.
