My book:

I really enjoyed The Awakening. I thought the book had a lot of suspense and action. I never wanted to put the book down! I really liked the ending, and I would like to read the whole series. The author is really good. She put lots of detail in the book, so it made it better. I would recommend this book to anyone. If you liked Twilight then you would like The Awakening.
