Seriously I was left hanging at the end of this book, and now I have to wait for the final book in the trilogy to find out what happened.  (cue in screaming)
I love Kristen Day’s Daughters of the Sea Novels.  I am in love with her characters that she created, and I secretly wish Finn was REAL.

In “Awaken,” Anastasia aka Stasia, is supposed to travel to the Underworld before her 18th birthday to make a trip to a river that will help her become an immortal when she does turn 18.  She must prepare for this trip ahead of time and her roommates/best friends help, as well as her boyfriend, Finn, she should be able to conquer it.
Instead, she has to face some truths that are about to come out that may break her heart before she goes.
She learns to be able to go to the Underworld; she needs to know precisely when to go.  It’s kind of hard when she does not know her real birthday.  She will have to learn how to control her reverie’s to find out her birthday and find out the truth of what is going to happen.
Stasia is going to deal with one crazy Princess and her Mother who is the Queen of the Underworld who has to let her pass into the Underworld.
She also has to deal with other people not wanting Stasia to become a true sea Goddess and intended leader to the Tykes.

Be prepared to go through some heartache in “Awaken” because Kristen Day places some bombshells in this book that made me love/hate some characters and certain situations.  (One being Finn, but only for a little while)

Stasia grew even more in this book and is ready to take the place of the Leader of the Tykes.  If she can handle what she handled in this book, she definitely can take on anything.  She’s going to have to since there was a cliffhanger in “Awaken.”
The secondary characters, I loved as well….especially Ricker and Carmen.  They sound like an old married couple who will not admit they like each other.
I love how Stasia’s friends were there for her, especially towards the end.

I was not prepared for what happened in this book. I loved Forsaken, and now I love Awaken.  I was not expecting to love it as much as Forsaken, but Kristen Day proved me wrong.  Her Daughters of the Sea has become one of my FAVE Young Adult books this year, and I’m anxiously waiting for the finale, Chosen.
If there is one thing I love about Kristen Day is how she can make my emotions go haywire when reading.  I about threw my iPad across the room when Stasia got the biggest bombshell in her life from that wicked Princess Nadia.  (Poor Stasia)

If your a fan of the young adult genre and love paranormal and mythology, you will love this trilogy from Kristen Day.
The last book in the trilogy comes out real soon, and I’m counting down to it.
Thanks to YOUR Blog Tours for introducing Kristen Day and her fabulous books to me so that I can add her to my favorite authors.
I received a complimentary copy of “Awaken” in exchange for an honest review.
