Reviews for The Awakening

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was a little surprised that this is considered book 5 in the Vampire series, because really this was a story about witches. There are a few vampires towards the end of the book, but the story could have been told with out their involvement. I thought the story started out a little slow, but then gained momentum. Towards the end, I really wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen next. I liked learning some of the historical information about Salem. I was able to predict who the evil priestess was less than halfway through the book, but the other members of the evil coven were more surprising to me.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am typically not a big horror fan, but this one was given to me. It just so happened that I read it during a week when there was a lot of intense fog in my hometown and had me a little nervous...haha. It was an OK book. A little intrigue, a little martial discord, a little romance. Not the best, but not the worst book I ever read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Being a lover of all thing Salem, this book makes you feel like you are walking the streets of the town.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The 5th in a series of romantic vampire books. This is much better then the last two. Shannon Drake is getting back to her good writing as in the first two. Back to being chilling.
