Publisher's summary

"If you had met me a few weeks ago, you probably would have described me as an average teenage girl, someone normal. Now my life has changed forever and I'm as far away from normal as it gets.....

"A living science experiment, not only can I see ghosts, but I was genetically altered by a sinister organization called the Edison Group. What does that mean? For starters, I'm a teenage necromancer whose powers are out of control; I raise the dead without even trying. Trust me, that is not a power you want to have. Ever.

"Now I'm running for my life with three of my supernatural friends: a charming sorcerer, a cynical werewolf, and a disgruntled witch, and we have to find someone who can help us before the Edison Group finds us first. Or die trying."

Awaking

Very awesome collection thank you for letting me listen to this book will keep you listening

Super cute YA series!

I'm in my 30s but LOVE YA paranormal books. My 13 year old niece and I share many books, and this is a Trilogy I can't wait to share with her.
Funny and heartfelt, the characters are mostly believable and grow on you quickly.
After finishing all 3 books I will say that I was disappointed to find out that Kelley Armstrong is not writing any more of these books, as it was meant to be only a trilogy. Several story lines are all tied up sweetly, but there are several others left hanging. A few things were never explained, even though they were mentioned and hinted at several times throughout the books. Still, cute books with minimal foul language (actually I can't remember if any bad words were used!) I also don't think there was any underage drinking, any drugs, and no sex! Perfect books for the young paranormal story lovers!

Wonderful light listening!

What made the experience of listening to The Awakening the most enjoyable?

I followed the entire series and enjoyed the relationships between the characters. The author really kept me hooked

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

loving this series

listening to this series is add enjoyable as reading it the first time and probably won't be the last time I listen.

LOVE, LOVE. LOVE IT!!!

I found the reader VERY fresh, fun and a pleasure to listen to. As for the book; It was so suspenseful that that I found myself up at 3am to download book two in this series to hear what happens next to these group of Supernaturals Teens!. I am a kid a heart but I really think that this series, like many series crosses that line and is for anyone who wants to listen to a GREAT STORY...I definitely found myself relating to the characters very much - 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

Great, Awesome

I love the characters of the book. I loved how Chloe was constantly challanging herself to be better and not just think about herself.

What did you like best about this story?

That I couldn't stop listening..

What about Cassandra Morris’s performance did you like?

I loved that she had a good voice so you could lose yourself to the characters.

The story moves along nicely and there are some twist that make it even more interesting.
