Complete review available: The Naturals: Awakening
There wasn’t time for the author to fully embark on the plotline, but the few pages we had put in a fantastic standing for the future “episodes”. There was even enough intrigue to leave the reader hanging on and eager for the rest. Whilst I’m not personally sold on this book-released-in-several-chunks-but-not-a-series approach, what we have of Carlson’s work is stellar, and I just hope the rest lives up to expectations. Even though I read it months ago, the writing was so descriptive I can still picture one of the scenes as if I was truly there.

Got this one from Netgalley, thank you!
This was fun! It reads just like a tv-series.
This book is made of four episodes; Avery, Marshall, Hailey and Israel.
I thoroughly enjoyed Israel's story. That was by far the best story, imo. It also revealed more of what's going on and what's gonna happen.
I did like all of the characters though. Okay, maybe not Marshall, he was kind of...weird. It's wasy to see that these characters will somehow bond later on in the serial.
As far as the storyline goes, this felt mostly just like an introduction to the characters, which makes it pretty hard to say anything about it.
I do think that it's weird that they'rethree new boys in town. I'm wondering whether two of them are the same, since they (or he?!) made two girls act up towards them. That being said, I think we're in for a pretty wild ride with this serial, and I will most definitely be continuing it.

First things first, I need to say a huge thank you to All Night Reads for accepting my request to view this title on NetGalley, and to NetGalley for the service that they provide.
It's nearing the end of the year, so it's that time when I start to panic about completing all of my reading challenges - including the A-Z reading challenge, of which I hadn't completed 'N'. Hence the fact I scrolled back through my NetGalley acceptances and picked the book that interested me the most, one that I'd been highly anticipating.
There are four chapters (sorry, "episodes") in this collection, one for each character: Avery, Marshall, Hailey and Israel.
