Review of Dead Awakenings by Rebekah R. Ganiere

 

Being dead is a great way to find yourself… Struggling to pay her bills, New York theater student Evaine Michaels sees an opportunity to make money by taking part in an unsanctioned clinical trial for a new drug. But things don’t go as planned. Instead, she wakes up in a derelict hospital, chained to a bed with no memory of who she is or how she got there. Then a band of pale-skinned, fiery-eyed men, led by the gorgeous Luca, bursts in and rescues her. Taking her to a safe-house for her kind, Evaine learns that the drug trials have made her a Deader- a reanimated Undead. Luca is inexplicably attracted to newly rebirthed Evaine. But he has no time for the feelings she’s awakening within him- or the fact that she can read not only his thoughts, but his feelings as well. He's spent the last decade exterminating the scientists experimenting on, and creating Deaders. And the last thing he needs is a female messing with not only his mission, but also his head, and his heart. Especially a volatile newborn Deader. Evaine and Luca find themselves drawn to each other in a way neither has experienced before- until Evaine remembers not only who she is, but that she’s engaged. And that her human fiancé, Tristan, is probably still looking for her. But when a rogue faction of Deaders, called Feeders, attempts to kidnap Evaine, Luca suspects she might be the key to stopping the experiments for good. And everyone will have to band together to keep Evaine off the enemy's cutting table once and for all. Those who love Ilona Andrews, J.R. Ward, and Sarah J. Maas will love this Dark Paranormal Romance. Hurry and scroll up to get a Bite of Dead Awakenings Now!
