rennegade 's review for:
Loud Awake and Lost
by Adele Griffin
I received a copy of this book from the Goodreads Giveaway program to read and review.
I really enjoyed this book! I wasn't sure at first, especially since it seemed to be headed towards my dreaded love triangle, but the book ended up being really lovely. It was nice to have a bit of a mystery that was naturally solved over the course of the novel.
Normally I am good at spotting plot twists, but this one actually caught me by surprise (I blame being off balance due to a terrible ear infection). The reveal of the twist and the falling action that followed was interesting to me, and I felt that the ending resolved things nicely without the annoying habit of perfectly tying up every single loose thread. It was nice to be left thinking what could be next for Ember and wondering how the relationships with the people in her life would continue to develop over the years.
This was the first book by Adele Griffin that I have read, but I liked it enough that I want to check out her other work.
