I Shall Awaken

In a remote village removed from society, four children disappear. The villagers soon forget… until twelve years later, when three of them re-appear, seemingly out of nowhere. Astrid, Tom, and Sonya are out of their time and out of their depth, and they have trouble adjusting to their old lives. Astrid is not content to settle without her missing brother, Max, so she sets out to discover the truth.

But what happened to them in the first place? Where is Max, and why didn’t he come back with the others? As secrets come to life and more is revealed about their disappearances, only one thing is certain… monsters don’t ever stay in the dark.

A mystery with a heart of horror, this book is a dark and shadowy blend of thrilling suspense, the supernatural, and a creeping sense of the impossible. I have never read anything by this author before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the book! I enjoyed the pace, the story development, and the hair-raising descriptions. The unique fantasy elements are fascinating and magical, and I recommend this to anyone looking for a dark mystery!
