Awakenings by J.E. Shannon Review

When I saw the cover of the this book I was intrigued. After reading the synopsis of this book I knew I just had to read it. Evie is a 17 year old girl who was on vacation with her parents and gets kidnapped from her hotel only to wake up in a shallow grave with hardly any memory of what happened in between. Realizing she didn't need to breath and has no heartbeat or pulse she crawls out of the grave and the one thing on her mind is to find her sister Lyssa. Along the way she meets Ethan, his mother and Ethan's work partner Bo who and learns more about the kidnapping and the human traffickers that have been doing it for a long time. The story keeps you right in the thick of Evie's afterlife i guess you could call it with all the adventures and the all consuming rage within her to kill the people who took her and her sister. Having read a book about Vengador's on vacation in New Orleans she immediately realizes the source of her rage. She also realizes that when her lust for revenge is satisfied she will no longer exist. Evie and Ethan grow close during the story and you start feeling sad that she will be gone after her revenge. There are many surprises, twists and turns throughout the story that keep you wanting more... After finishing this story I find myself wanting more, more about the other characters and more books by the author. I am a huge fan of YA/paranormal books and this is definitely a good one!
