A review by rockets2writing
The Awakening by Michael Carroll

5.0

Superhumans are real and are superheroes that protect the world. At the height of their reign, all the superhumans disappeared on a day that is now called Mystery Day. Ten years later a new age of superhumans is rising. Colin Wagner and Danny Cooper children of the original superhumans, soon learn that they too are developing abilities. The boys are kidnapped and find they are to be used in a plot to eliminate superhumans from the world forever. Joining forces with the original superhumans who have been stripped of their powers can the boys stop the plan?

The Awakening is a fast paced action packed read. I found Danny and Colin both relateable and interesting characters. It was interesting to watch their journey as their powers developed and they discovered the secrets of the superhumans from their parents generation. I found it difficult to put this book down and am looking forward to the next two installments.

A great and enjoyable read for all ages!
