Emerge (The Awakening #1) by Melissa A. Craven - BR&R - Starting October 23rd

[Sarah Elizabeth]

2015 International Book Awards Finalist!!

Allie Carmichael has always believed life is simple.
You’re born.
You live.
You die.
She has no cause to believe that equation works differently for her, but there has to be a reason the world treats her like a pariah.
When an unexpected move to Kelleys Island brings Aidan McBrien crashing into her life, Allie is thrown by his reaction. He doesn’t shrink from her touch. He doesn’t stutter or make a quick exit. He smiles and welcomes her into his circle of friends, who aren’t exactly comfortable with Allie, but they seem to get her in a way most people don’t.
Finally, Allie has a real shot at normal and rides that high right up to her sixteenth birthday when she wakes in agony—an experience Aidan insists they have all faced. She struggles in ignorance, uncertain of what is real and what isn’t. When she emerges, Allie is different. She has always been different, but even among her extraordinary friends, she and Aidan are special.
As Allie struggles to maintain her tenuous grasp on the power that threatens to overwhelm her, she worries she will lose herself in this strange new world. A dangerous world where she will have to fight tooth and nail to defend the power and freedom that is her birthright.
…only Allie hates to fight.

Hi Jackie,
I sent yours earlier today. Let me know if you didn't get it.
Melissa

[Jasmine]

I got mine two days ago and haven't been able to stop reading it since then! Currently at chapter 24 and (view spoiler)[I love Allie's awakening process, particularly when Aiden stayed by her side all the time and he sacrificed himself just to heal her. I totally ship them but somehow she's seeing Vince at first. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Jackie]

Melissa, thank you so much I have received it now.☺️

That's fine ☺

[Shahad]

Thank u

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I probably won't be able to start this one until a bit later as I can't concentrate very well on reading when I'm at my parent's house and I want to be able to give this my full attention ☺

[Abi]

Starting now. :)

[Abi]

Up to chapter 4 - (view spoiler)[Poor Allie, can't be easy having to move around all the time. (hide spoiler)]

[Jackie]

Starting now.☺️

[Abi]

Chapter 8 - Bit slow, but not bad so far.

[Shahad]

Starting now :)

[Abi]

Chapter 25 - (view spoiler)[Poor Naeemah! (hide spoiler)]

[Jasmine]

Chapter 33-(view spoiler)[I think their small talks didn't do any good to both of them. Instead, knowing there's another girl out there waiting to claim on Aiden makes me feel awfully bad for Allie. (hide spoiler)]

[Caron]

Through Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[Moving around so often is definitely not fun. Thank goodness I'm finished with school so no more First Days for me.

I like the easy relationship Aiden and Allie have going on. (hide spoiler)]

[Jackie]

Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[Where is home? Why are her parents running and from whom? I really like Gavin for being kind to her and Navid as well. (hide spoiler)]

[Jasmine]

Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Overall, I did enjoy this book and I can't wait to read the sequels!

[Gayatri]

I would like to sign up if we still can?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sure, I'll forward your details to the author ☺

[Shahad]

Chapter 6
Its Mysterious
Still , I have no clue why people are avoiding her touch ! Or aidan's ? What's that thing everyone close telling her to accept ?
I like when stories develop slowly like this
Its kind of exciting

[Sharon]

Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Allie. She is always moving around. It must suck to not have a place to call home. (hide spoiler)]

I agree. The pacing of the story is a bit slow.
