Description Awakening by Dana Claire
The government called her a weapon. Her mother called her a gift. She called it a forced fate. Beatrice Walker is no stranger to surprises and after the year she’s had, finding out she is responsible for billions of lives is a drop in the bucket. Until she learns there may be more to the prophetic plan to prevent the extinction of two planets—both Earth and Ferro, and that she isn’t the only Blood-Light they will need to fight the imminent threat of an asteroid hurtling toward the planets.
He grew up a loyal heir. He trained to be a soldier. He found purpose with the Rebellion. Cash Kingston didn’t think falling for a Blood-Light—part human, part Ferroean—was possible. But when he met Beatrice Walker, all of that changed. What didn’t waver was his quest to save his beloved planet Ferro and his new home, Earth. Not only from the oncoming asteroid but from leaders of both planets with more sinister agendas.
Together, Beatrice and Cash, plus their team, must uncover who they can trust, how they can stop their enemies, and what superpower matters most, or they will lose everything they are fighting for.
Review Awakening by Dana Claire
Guest Review by Mark S.
The second book in the Blood-Lite series did not disappoint!
Beatrice Walker and Cash Kingston are star crossed lovers in the most literal sense of the phrase. Cash is an alien from the planet Ferro and, in the first book in this series, Beatrice discovers that her biological father was actually from Ferro as well.
Beatrice is harboring the life source of Cash’s one time girlfriend, Sera who is being kept in a near-death state within the main hub of the Ferroean resistance on Earth, a place called The Hive. Bea and Cash must infiltrate The Hive in order to save Sera and save both Earth and Ferro, but first they must find Cash’s brother, Ashton.
Although the brothers are far from friendly, allies are needed and Ashton happens to be one of the few that they have left on Earth. However, as they are driving across the country to California, Ashton informs Beatrice that he believes that their destinies are entwined and that they may have more to do with each other than she had previously realized.
Bea and Cash’s relationship takes some knocks in this installment, but they also mature in ways that made for a really exciting read. I love to watch their relationship develop.
This is a series that is great for science fiction lovers and lovers of YA alike. Dana Claire’s writing is fantastic. Her blending of Earth and Ferroean customs, the different voices of the characters and the way that Beatrice begins to come to terms with her new abilities were my favorite parts of the book.
I can’t wait for the next book in this series and to find out where the adventure brings these characters next. ‘The Awakening’ is a thrill ride from start to finish and a sequel that cannot be missed.
About Dana Claire
When author Dana Claire had several poems published as an elementary school student, she was hooked and writing became her passion. A shared dream of hers and her mother’s, she promised her dying mother that she would become a published author and that dream has been realized with The Connection.
Dana believes that a good story is made through strong character development; when readers become attached to the characters’ emotional state and are invested in their objectives. She believes that the beauty of reading is that one can live a hundred lives within the stories of books. Her own stories come to her in her dreams, and she wakes up with book ideas.
Dana’s family is very supportive of her writing and the creativity and sentiment driving it. Enjoying bicoastal living between Los Angeles and New York, Dana says she “lives the best romance in the world being married to the most amazing man she could ever ask for.” The Connection was her debut YA novel, the first volume in a planned trilogy. The Awakening is the second volume. She is also the author of The Reclaimed Kingdom, a YA fantasy romance novel.
