Donna Doria's Reviews > Awakened

“Awakened” (book 2 Ariya Adam Trilogy) written by Anna Applegate was a good story which followed nicely with the first book. The author made a smooth connection between books so that the author could pick up this book and just continue reading as if there was no break in the story. A well written story. I loved the cover as I did with the first cover. The story definitely had the paranormal element going on along with romance and suspense to spice things up. The author used this story to write more detail about the history of the vampires and werewolves that Ariya has to face with Mr. Sexy James watching over her. As a reader, you have to feel for James because he has been Ariya’s protector but feels deeply for her in a romantic way! Questions arise whether they can handle the relationship?! Ariya still has questions about what power she discovered in the first story! Feeling overwhelmed by everything going on. It’s not everyday or everyone that has the same power as Ariya. While reading this story I experienced lots of emotions! I found the book to be a must read only after the first book. I am giving the story 5 stars.
