Book Review: Awaken by Carrie Cotten

Whew! This book in a word: EXPLOSIVE! Each installment of the Dreamwalker Saga has been a twisting, turning, suspenseful ride, but Carrie really took things to the next level in the epic conclusion to this equally epic series! From page one, we find Andy and Will facing their biggest battle yet. Not only are they facing the culmination of years worth of secrets and lies and finally facing off with the real “big bad”, but they are also fighting foes from within themselves that may or may not be their undoing.

Throughout this series, I would think I had a handle on what was going on, who was behind what, and why they did what they did. But every time, Carrie has proved me wrong! With each book, she peeled back a layer on Andy’s past. Now, she’s ripped the entire veil off and what it reveals is not what I initially expected. ??? Carrie is so talented, you guys. I mean, how does she come up with this stuff?!

Every book of the series has held surprising plot twists. Book two almost gave me a full on heart attack. But this one? **takes a deep breath, still reeling from the trauma** I was so close to sending Carrie messages shouting, “HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!” The audacity of her to go out of the country while I was reading this. ?

As always, Carrie hasn’t just written a mind-bending thriller. She’s written a story that challenges and uplifts the Christian heart. It’s so wonderful to read something that’s as exciting as any crime/action movie or show you’d watch, yet is infused with Christian themes! Instead of only holding darkness, the story holds light and hope as well.

A big 5/5 Stars!!!! If you love mystery, suspense, light sci-fi, or anything like—read this series!!!

PS: that ending!!! I have so many questions!!! Is there a chance of a spin-off series? (Looking at you, Carrie!) ?
