Review: Awakened By: Kriston Johnson



~ What's It About? ~


Can fighting for the right side be the wrong thing to do?

Draven, the tyrant ruler of Elyndia for the last one thousand years, searches for the one who can fulfill his prophecy.

The Paladins, an elite band of warriors sworn to protect their way of life at all cost, search for the one with the ability to bring their world crumbling down.

An innocent girl, tormented by demons only she can see, lives on the brink of insanity and longs for a life of peace.

When seventeen-year-old Jade Rosenberg reads from an antique book, she has no idea she just read an incantation awaking her inherited power. But when opposing—and equally terrifying—groups invade her home, she learns she is descended from an enchanted realm and a member of a powerful race thought to have been hunted to extinction.

Ripped from her world, Jade is forced to seek refuge from those who want her dead. She is given one of two options and the time has come for her to make a choice: assassinate their sworn enemy…

Or sacrifice her soul.





~ My Thoughts ~


Where do I even start?  I totally fell in love with Gabriel from the start and then I met Dezmond hello hottness.   I really enjoyed my read through of this story, to be taken to a hole new world just grabbed my attention right away.  The journey that Jade and Gabriel went through and everything that they fought against to really show how they fell and what/whom they are was by far even better.  With everything that was wrong that happened in the story something great always poked its head through.  I was really happy with the way the hole thing ended it left me on a cliffhanger but not to much of one where I'm left with billions of questions.

This author really has done a great job writing this story and making the other world come alive with her words.  I enjoyed my page turning and just enjoyed the story over all.  I don't really have anything I didn't like about the story it was great actually I wouldn't change anything nothing about the characters, the style nothing. I really liked the hole thing.  I find myself wanting to read book 2 if their is a book 2 which would be wonderful. I see myself getting caught up in the characters journey all over to stop the demons that are coming out of the wood work, that and of course more Gabriel and Dezmond !!!!

I must say that this is a must read!! Heck I see myself reading it again in the future that's for sure.
