Why read it?
1 author picked Awakening as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was the first book I read by Sharon Bolton and it got me hooked on this author.
The book draws you into the lives of the residents of a small village where beneath the idyllic setting lurks secrets and malice.
