Wake by Amanda Hocking


SYNOPSIS:  Sisters Gemma and Hadley find their lives turned upside down when the beautiful, fearsome girls from town take a sudden interest in Gemma.  When her behavior begins to be erratic, Hadley tries desperately to save her from their influence.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  I hate to be completely negative about a book.  I guess I can say that this book is dark.  Some people like that, I think.  As for myself, I was not a fan.  I thought the writing was subpar, the storyline was simplistic and a bit juvenile, the characters were moody and dramatic, and the content too graphic.  The book had language content, graphic and disturbing violence and imagery, and sensuality.  My recommendation is to skip the book altogether.

AUDIENCE:  Young Adults

RATING:  PG13 with Graphic, Disturbing Imagery, Violence, Language, and Sensuality

STARS:  0

BOOKS LIKE THIS:  Fathomless, Beastly
