5/31/2023 0 Comments Awaken Me Darkly by Gena Showalter![]() ![]() There are no whiny moments of guilt, no lovelorn angst, and no bitching about past regrets. Mia is definitely one kick-ass heroine, and I liked the fact that she fully embraces her role (the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comparison, I am ecstatic to say, is completely valid). ![]() It was exciting, it was mysterious, it was action-packed, it was sexy, and (yes) it was even dangerously romantic. ![]() Gena Showalter more than delivered on my expectations, with a story that hooked me from the opening scene. Buffy, really, was the first strong female character to really imprint herself on me.Īnway, let me just come right out and say it – Awaken Me Darkly was a damned good read. What ultimately won me over, however, was the blurb about “Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Alien Nation.”Įven if it just ended up being a hate-read to destroy that cover blurb, there was no way I could pass up such an intriguing homage to my youthful television addictions. ![]() The cover had a dangerously sexy vibe to it, with some very stark red lettering, and I liked the contrast of the knife against the dress – the way it looked almost dull against the shiny black material. The Alien Huntress series came recommended to me a while back, and while I was curious, I didn’t really pay it much attention until I found a copy in a used bookstore over the summer. Genres: Science Fiction, Paranormal Romance ![]()
