Secrets and lies, secrets and lies, she
can’t get the truth, no matter how many tries.
The Awakening of Leeowyn Blake is what
I would call a paranormal mystery, and a major part of that mystery was
figuring out what kind paranormal she was! I will give Mary Parker this; she
kept this reader guessing till the big reveal about midway through the book.
It had a slow start (lots of background
that was need later), but they were short chapters. It wasn’t until about
chapter 8 where things started to pick up and get really interesting. Now I’m a
real stickler for endings and this one did not disappoint. Leaving me feeling
like my new friend would be ok, but wetting my appetite for more.
I'm a normal teenager. I have a normal teenage life with normal teenage problems. The summer is my heaven. I live with my mom during the summer months. We stay in her tiny condo in Jacksonville, Florida. My parents split up when I was little. I'm not sure why. My mom never talks about it. Whatever it was, it was bad enough to make my mom pack me up in the middle of the night when I was four years old and run to my Gran's condo. My mom got the condo after Gran died. From that time on all I had known my entire life was beach life. Until four years ago. Until my uncle found me.

What other reviewers are saying about this enjoyable read:
U.K.-based book blog, Much Loved Books,
observes that "Leeowyn is portrayed as an average, down-to-earth
person, and this makes it easy to believe her thoughts and feelings. And
even when she is no longer average you still want to cheer her on with
whatever tasks she has to do."
Writing from Romania, reviewer Cristina Buzoianu from the Bibliophile Mystery
book blog says, "In the beginning, Lee is a normal teenager, coping
with normal problems, then, gradually, she starts to evolve and uncover
little by little the uncommon truth of her destiny. At the same time The
story changes into one full of originality and unexpected turns. Even
if she isn’t ready for what’s out there, she takes her role seriously,
without losing a single drop of her charisma, or her teenage sense of
humor."
"I
really wasn't expecting this awesome new world...a world so complex and
so wonderfully built, that I really don't have the right words to
describe it," enthuses U.S.-based Ruby's Books
blog. "You have mystery, you have lots of fantasy, suspense, a little
bit of horror even, a little thread of romance, a hint of sadness and
some very funny moments. This is one of those books that reminded me why
I fell in love with reading. The Awakening of Leeowyn Blake will keep you on the edge of your chair and at the end, leave you thirsty for more."
"Oh. My. Gosh. This book was fantastic!!! The Awakening of Leeowyn Blake
is a mix of paranormal, fantasy, mystery, romance…. Gosh, just
everything!!!" declares teenage book reviewer Catherine Coffman in the Cat's Thoughts
book blog. "There’s so much that goes on in this book that I can’t even
describe it, it was seriously awesome. I was so impressed that I can’t
even explain it, and I never wanted to put it down!"
