Debut book for new author Grace White and all I can say is wow. Amazing storyline about half human half demon which I have never read about before, but it had me hook, line and sinker and I'm thinking to myself when is her next book out because I need to find out what happens next. Two young people in high school falling in love but Daiya has a secret, it's the type of secret it could make or break them up for good. I think I've seriously found my new favourite author. So Grace you better get to

Okay so I've had a very hard time settling on a rating for this book. For the first two thirds of the book I could probably rate it a high four or maybe even a five. But the last third I rate a one so I ended up in the middle with a three star.

I’m incredibly picky when it comes to paranormal reads. I’ve read quite a lot of them over the years and it’s because of this, and usually a lot of recycled ideas that I’ve become so picky. So to take one on, especially with a new author, not knowing if I would click with her writing style, the characters, even the background for the characters and the ...more

Awaken is a well written book by Grace. She has developed an interesting and unique plot. I don't recall many books covering this topic which I find very refreshing! The pace of the book is perfect, never dragging out nor does it ever feel like the author is trying to rush you through the story.
Probably my biggest issue is that it has a cliff hanger and I have no idea when the next one comes out for me to find out what will happen next to Daiya. Speaking of which, Daiya is a very likable charact ...more

This book seriously blew my socks off. I started it, and within one paragraph I was hooked. The chemistry between the main characters Kai and Daiya was so tangible I felt like it was actually happening and I could feel it.

Paranormal reads were my first love but in recent years I've read few and far between and the ones I have read have all gone down the normal vampire/ werewolf route which has become tired, so it takes a brave and talented author to move away from that especially for a debut author but I'm so glad Grace White did because what she created was a world I became completely immersed in and thirsted for more.

Really good debut novel! Mysterious, dark. Lots of hold your breath moments.
You really feel a bit bad for these three sisters who seem, essentially, good but, have been dealt a pretty bad hand in life. Learning to live with their circumstances is not easy.
But, maybe one of them was meant to change everything.
Like the characters and, the story line is engaging. Book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, setting it up nicely for book 2.

Wow for a debut novel this one was brilliant. I am not a huge paranormal romance reader but this was such a refreshing change to read. The story idea was very good and plenty of detail was given about the world of Daiya and the ancient prophecy that she is a part of. A very interesting romance develops and the book held my interest throughout. I will be interested to see where the story goes in book 2
