He lifted his head with a demonic smile. “Welcome to your Awakening.”

Goshhh — this book was certainly something!!

I will admit that I was a bit apprehensive going into this novel — because of how I felt about it’s predecessor ”Origins of an Academy Bully”.

However, now that I’ve finished ”The Awakening”, I can confidently say that I enjoyed it much more than the novellas that came before it!  :)

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to meet our MCs — Tory and Darcy — and seeing the ways that their personalities, as well as the ways that they responded to confrontation, differed…

(And don’t even get me started on that ending — talk about going out with a bang!! 🤩)

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I’m excited to see their story continue once I finish ”The Awakening as Told by the Boys”!

P.S. Orion is the only man in this book that deserves rights. ♡
