Awakening by Ashley Suzanne Review: 12/10/13


Awakening by Ashley Suzanne
Release Date: November 22, 2013
Book Two In The Destined Series


“My heart only beats because you allow it. You own my heart and the other half of my soul.”

OMG! What else can be said. After the cliffhanger of the damn century, Mirage, ended, we all had to pick our jaws up off the floor and continue on with our meaningless lives until Ashley so graciously gave us the answers to the unanswerable mindfuck that is Mirage. 

This was a triangle between Skylar, Mira and Danny where you couldn't help but feel for everyone involved and wish happiness for each of them. Mira struggles to come to grips what what she knows to be real and what she wishes were. Skylar struggles to stay away from the only woman he has ever loved so that he does not jeopardize his friendship with his best friend for life. Danny pretends he does not see and feel that everything has changed since the accident.

I really loved this book- that is no lie. If I could give it a million stars I would. I highly recommend this book to everyone- the series, actually. You MUST read Mirage and Inception (novella) first! <3 Kellie 



Synopsis:

Mira’s broken and battered. She’s fighting to put herself back together while her heart is trying to forget. Can she continue moving forward with one man while in love with another?

Skylar’s wrestling demons he never imagined in his wildest dreams. The girl he’s been in love with for years finally has feelings for him. There’s only one problem: her heart might lie somewhere else. How long until his will power shatters?

Who will seize Mira’s heart and never let go? Will these feelings ever go away or will they be an AWAKENING?

EXCERPT FROM AWAKENING:
“Mira, is anything going on with you and Skylar?”
Her eyes widened, like I just caught her in a lie.  I know in the pit of my stomach that something is going on or something happened before.
“Mira, answer the question, please.”
“No, Danny, nothing is going on.”
“Why don’t I believe you, Mira?  When I came in a few minutes ago, I covered you up with that quilt,” pointing at the quilt laying crumpled up at the foot of the bed, “And I kissed your forehead.  You called me Sky, Mira.  Not only did you call me Sky, you asked me not to leave.  So would you like to rethink your answer about nothing going on with you two?”
The look on Mira’s face is priceless.  She looks like a child who has her hand stuck in a cookie jar.  I can see her chest rise and fall quickly, as if she’s trying to catch her breath.
“So what’s really going on, Mira?”
“Nothing,” she whispers.  Mira is looking in every direction except for the one she needs to look; in my eyes. 

Don't forget to purchase Inception to read the back story.  We're taking it back to the beginning; the INCEPTION!
Happy reading friends!!
