I’m just going to start by saying how damn amazing this book is! I am not a fan of paranormal romance, which is the reason I have waited so long. I didn’t want to not like it, but don’t worry I loved it! I’m actually kicking myself for not reading sooner.
The Awakened is jammed packed with paranormal, from witches, shifters, to werewolves, but the plot is amazing. I was so hooked on the story that the paranormal was second in my mind. Carol delivers a debut novel full of drama, laughter, suspense, betrayal, fighting, twist and turns.
Amanda Carol delivered an absolute phenomenal debut novel that had me hooked from start to finish. I devoured this book. I love, love, love Aria and Hunter! Their chemistry jumps off the page. Not only are Aria and Hunter amazing, the supporting characters definitely help make this book what it is. Bennett is everything! I’m not sure who I love more Bennett or Hunter, so I’m just keeping them both.
The Awakened is the fantastic 5 star debut novel from Amanda Carol. She gave us this well-written, enthralling plot, that left me needing more. She literally left me needing more since it ended with that cliffhanger. Yes, she left me hanging! The only good thing about waiting so long to read book one is I can go get book two right now! All the moonlit stars for Amanda Carol and The Awakened!
More than Amazing!!!
This book was one of the best PNR I have ever read, I was hooked from the first page, I mean I found everything I love about PNR in this book. Bad a$$ heroine, sexy shifters, vampires, awesome witches and in top of all of that Demigods (I was in reading heaven). The story was well written, it keeps you in mystery and trying to guess what it’s going to happen next(Until the very last page ) . I love the twins Aria and Declan are one of a kind( you have to read the book to now why ). Sexy Hunter I love his characters so much (loyal, caring, fighter). I honestly didn’t want this book to end. I love the relationship between all of the side characters, they played a very important part in this book and honestly I need more of them. 5stars Read!!!!!! Can’t wait for the second book to come out !!! Great job in this amazing book Amanda Carol !!!!
I was lucky enough to get an early ARC of this book and I must say it blew my mind.
The way Amanda created this new world has you yearning for more.
The book starts with our girl Aria, a sassy little thing she is but she’s also a little lost, a little sad and a whole lotta angry. She and her twin brother are going through America hunting down vampires.
It’s all fine and dandy until their adventure brings them to NOLA and with that, they meet Hunter the Beta of the pack that protects the city.
Hunter takes a liking to Aria, and she to him but they both got so much going on its hard to find time to explore those feelings. But when they do. That first kiss… BOOM.
Where do I even begin? The Awakened is book 1 in the Awakened trilogy! I was a beta for this book and I can not say enough of how much I loved it! PNR is not a genre I typically read but boy did Amanda changed my mind. I couldn’t put this book down. Seriously this book will have you on the edge of your seat, biting your nails, ready to to throw your kindle, and as is tradition…Swoon!
You will be sucked in from chapter 1 (no pun intended, okay maybe a little intended.)
Aria is a badass and you can’t help but fall in love with her, just ask Hunter. Speaking of Hunter, prepare to go weak in the knees over that dimple.
This may be a slow burn but the chemistry between Aria and Hunter is from the very beginning.
Get ready to fall in love with and kick some ass!
Seriously even if you think you are not a fan of paranormal, give this book a chance. Amanda has a way with words that paints the picture perfectly in your head to where I forgot I was in North CArolina reAding but actually walking the streets of New Orleans or sitting by a campfire in the compound.
