Description

Christina swore she’d never return to her hometown of Hidden Creek, Georgia again. Her upbringing there could only be described as torture at best. She never asked for the unusual abilities she possesses, but was quite certain they would torment her the rest of her life. After spending years hiding and trying to escape the judgement and abuse of her family and the cruel people of Hidden Creek, she's finally come to terms with her gift. But with her parent’s sudden passing, it now falls on Christina to return and take care of everything. With her parents gone, she finally hopes to close this dark chapter of her life and leave Hidden Creek behind for good. That is, until she finds herself mysteriously drawn to the intoxicating gentleman next-door, who seems to share a strange and unusual bond with her.

Michael has spent years in the military and on the police force in Atlanta. After almost losing his life in a brutal betrayal by his crooked partner, he's decided to leave the force and take up residence in sleepy, stress-free Hidden Creek, where he meets Christina, a mysterious, raven-haired beauty with uncanny abilities. He'd always thought of himself as a rational person. He didn’t buy into in crazy things like; ghosts, spirits, demons, or other paranormal witchcraft nonsense. But now he must be losing it, as a strange apparition begins appearing at the foot of his bed each night.

Christina swore she’d never return to her hometown of Hidden Creek, Georgia again. Her upbringing there could only be described as torture at best. She never asked for the unusual abilities she...

this book was brilliant. when I got to the last page I was not happy. I did not want it to end at all. I did not see many of the twists at all, and I loved that. I cannot wait to read more from this author. Thank you NetGalley.

I liked this book. It had a decent amount of suspense, the romance wasn't too much for me, and the paranormal aspects were believable and not annoying or scary. However, I wish the book was longer. The storylines wrapped up a little too quickly for me. There wasn't time to really connect with the characters and the romance was almost too immediate for me. It read like a novella instead of a full-length novel. In addition, it ended on a cliffhanger of sorts. While that did make me want to read the next book, the ending wasn't enough to make the first book a satisfying read on its own.

My hope is that when I read the other books in the series, this first story is a nice set-up to the others. If not, this read alone was a little disappointing. It is a nice, quick beach read, but certainly not a book that will end up on my permanent shelf. I don't feel that I wasted my time, and I will read the remaining books in the series, so all-in-all it's a good start. Considering that I was able to read the book for free, in return for an honest review, it was definitely worth it.

The Awakening, Paranormal Romance by Jill Sanders

Christina Warren ( Xtina) comes home to Hidden Creek on the news her parent have died in an accident. Michael Kincaid (Mike) a former military man and police officer of the Atlanta Police Department. moved to Hidden Creed and bought a fixer-upper Now Xtina and Mike are neighbours I really liked the Special Powers the main and secondary characters have. Very unique powers but interact with all the others. As expected by the title "something will be awakened" in this case, the numerous characters have special powers that are "awakening" or become most potent.

There should be warnings on books that you have to purchase anther book or books to get the conclusion! I have to be really intrigued otherewise out of spite I drop the series then and there. In this case I will be looking for the other 2 books of this series. I just hope the next is as compelling as this one. Great story and had me engrossed the entire way. I just have to know what happens next!
