Overall Rating: 4.5 Rockin’ ★★★★☆
What would you do if you woke up and didn't know who you were, where you are, or where you came from? Everything is a blank, except for a few glimpses of sexual need and arousal. Those questions and more plague Amelia in Josie Litton's newest novel series, ANEW.
In this beautiful like-tale of Sleeping Beauty, the characters are exquisitely crafted to match the amazing story that is arranged skillfully by this author. Amelia, being newly awakened, is lost in a society that she does not understand. She is a gift to the new world in her own right, but many people cannot grasp who or what she really is. Her only saving grace is the man who awakened her, Ian. He invokes so many tumultuous feeling within her that captures her from the moment she sees him and won't dispel. Ian, on the other hand, is seized by the immediate response his body and soul has towards Amelia. He wants her deeply, from the core of his being. However, with outlying forces at work he knows he must protect her, yet at the same time, keep her, control her, own her...
Will this couple be able to master the plan that has been set by Ian's dead friend? Can they overcome the outside world's bitterness and short-sidedness and reach the greatest gift of all..love? Read this book to find out. It will not disappoint you!
From the very beginning this story will draw you into it's fantastical plot and keep you there until the very end. I was imprisoned by the shear magnetism that the characters portrayed. I was amazed by the story's message of how ignorant people can believe that different is bad, but we all know that being different is very good. I absolutely cannot wait to read the next installment of this series, being that the author leaves us hanging on. I'm on the edge waiting patiently for what will happen next. You have awakened me, Josie! ~TSRBR
Hero - Ian 4.5 stars
Heroine - Amelia 4.5 stars
Steam Level: 4.5 stars
Plot: 4.5 stars
Cliffhanger: Yes
Would I recommend this book: Yes! No doubt. This book has all the unnerving, sensual romanticism that a book can give and leave you wanting more. ANEW is a beautifully scripted work of art.
