A review by bookmamari
The Dark Awakening by D.L. Blade

5.0

This was my first time reading this author. Her debut book was awesome! I had won a signed paperback copy through a contest, but decided i couldn't wait and bought a Kindle copy. I read the synopsis and thought it would be something I would enjoy. I especially loved the setting, East greenwich, RI. (I live about 40 minutes away. It takes place there and in Salem, Ma.
Mercy is a young woman, fresh out of high school. She had an experience with her mom which left her uncomfortable with touch, even from those closest to her. The only touch she can seem to handle is the mysterious man who joins her in her dreams. She feels comfortable, and safe around him, something lacking in her daily life. A series of strange events she realizes exactly who and what she is. However exciting that may be, it is short lived and it soon puts the people she loves and herself in danger. She also meets the man in her dreams. She soon realizes that everything and mostly everyone including herself is not what they appear to be. She wonders who, if anyone can she trust. This book kept me guessing, and more than once I found myself asking "Huh???" I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
