My Review:
4 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Ghosts, Mystery, Supernatural, Suspense--
Vienna has been experiencing a nightmare, causing her to escape a way on a whim to her father's vacation house in Palm Springs. But instead of the relaxing getaway she was hoping for, instead she gets some family drama and some odd things she can't explain. Next thing Vienna knows, it is up to her and her best friend Kim as well as mysterious Jack to solve a deadly mystery.
I am always up for a paranormal mystery so when I read the synopsis for Awakened Within I was very interested to read it. I found this to be an engaging mystery with some creepy elements and with a great cast of characters. I loved that we get to meet Vienna just when she is starting to develop her gifts so we can learn how it works right along with her. I really really want a unlikely romance to occur between Jack and Vienna, but I can't see that happening but I will keep hoping! The paranormal aspect of the book was interesting and I would love to know more about her gifts, her agreement and her spirit guide. And the mystery was a nice twist that I did not expect. Michelle kept me on my toes guessing what would happen next and I love that in my mysteries.
I listened to the audiobook and I found it very enjoyable. The narrator was able to give personality and spunk to the characters (her voice for Bunny was my absolutely my favorite!!) and it was easy to get lost in the mystery. The one downside to the audiobook was that occasionally the perspective would switch between characters with no warning and their internal voices were the same so it took a minute for me to figure out what was going on and who was talking. Overall though I think this audiobook was well done and I would love to listen to the rest of the series. I enjoyed getting to know Vienna, Kim, Bunny and Jack and I want to see what mystery they solve next.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this title.
