She Awakens by Caitlin Denman

adventurous challenging emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

4.5

I loved the character development of Attina, especially the fact that she struggles. It makes her more real. And James was great...until he wasn't! His character was confusing and made me so mad at the end! I can't wait to see what Allistair chooses to do. He's a wild card right now but he's intriguing for sure. 

Attina and her father venture out on one last father-daughter trip before leading their people to Sanctuary, but everything goes wrong. She learns that she's half-fae, about her mother, and the history of her and her father's horses. Learning to fight and become a warrior in a short time is grueling, but with her Awakening close at hand, it must be done. 

After a trip back to the town, things become even worse and Attina and her father are forced to separate. Now on her own with Raven, a fae horse she's never had a great relationship with, Attina is put in more danger. 

A mystery fae follows her as she makes her way to Sanctuary, but is he the danger she expects? There may be something worse waiting for her in Sanctuary, but she will need to learn more before deciding. 

Not knowing who to trust and relying on Raven as her only ally, Attina must figure out how to approach her current situation, but more importantly how to survive it. 

Join Attina on her life-changing journey in She Awakens, Caitlin Denman's debut novel!
