Ghostly Book Review: The Awakening by Sara Brooke
The Awakening by Sara Brooke is a paranormal romance that was given to me by my publisher. It was the first romance I have read with a ghost as the romantic lead and that made it engaging.
Sara Redmane is a likeable woman. She is a quiet, bookish girl who prefers to
live in the worlds that exist in the pages of a novel to the real world. Sara’s life is turned upside down when she
goes to visit her friend Bobbie Trillo in Georgia. Sara is immediately confronted by the visage
of a strange man staring at her from a window that should be empty. Sara tries to explain her vision away, but it
becomes impossible to ignore the ghosts of Trillo House when they come to her
that night. Ms. Brooke’s novel unfolds
from here delicately intertwining romance and mystery. Ghosts and spirits thrive in Georgia and Sara
is forced to confront both in her friend’s family house.
The most engaging ghost in this story is the ghost of a
mysterious and darkly handsome man who Sara feels herself drawn towards. This ghost warns Sara that danger is lurking
around every corner of the Trillo family house and that an evil is trying to
destroy the Trillo family. Sara is
determined to save the family from this evil.
Ms. Brooke’s writing style is clear and steady as she guides
the reader deeper into the mystery at
the heart of the haunted Trillo house.
Ms. Brooke’s novel is a little more romance driven than I usually read
as I usually prefer ghosts and demons to true love, but the book is engaging
and the romance is passionate. I enjoyed
this book immensely and would definitely suggest it for anyone who loves
paranormal romance.
