Reawakened: by Morgan WylieMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the author in exchange for an honest review.
This was my second novella in the Havenwood Falls High series and I must confess that I will not continue with it. It appears I need a break from the Young Adult genre, although I still enjoy the New Adult Havenwood Falls series.
I found the characters were simply created for the purpose of driving the plot forward and inserting unnecessary excitement, whereas on their own they had little depth and held little interest. And the romance between the main character and her boyfriend felt rather forced with constant exclamations of love and their soul-mate connection.
The plot took a long time to finally develop and in that sense dragged more than just a little for me.
The writing was not bad at all, except for the constant repetition of certain details while other, more important details got lost amongst the descriptions of scenery and ramblings. At time it was very confusing to keep track of what was referred to and a few times I had to back track several pages just to double check previously mentioned details.
Overall, I admit Young Adult fiction is just not what I’m in the mood for at this moment, therefore this story sadly wasn’t for me. I would suggest it to anyone looking for a quick teenage read, though.
