Blurb:
After waking in a field, naked, battered, bloody, and with
no memory of who she was or what happened to her, Olivia “Liv” Stone, discovers
that roughly four years have passed and a plague has swept her world, killing
some and turning most into creatures only heard about in horror stories. Worse,
she fears that during those missing years, she might have been one of the
beings. How that was possible, and how she was human again, Liv doesn’t know
but aims to find out. Along the way, she joins a war to eliminate the remaining
creatures by waking as many of the undead as possible.
My Review:
A young girl Olivia “Liv” Stone wakes in the middle of a
field naked, alone, confused with no memory of who she is or how she got there.
Liv picks her sore, injured bloody body up off the ground and starts to look
around her spotting a body not too from her with missing fingers. She asks
herself if the missing fingers are the ones she just threw up back there. Yeah
well she wasn’t about to go and inspect her throw-up to find out. No way no
how.
As Liv awakens and time progresses she starts to have
nightmares about what may have happened to her and the world around her. So far
in her journey Liv has only seen a few zombies mulling around but none of them
seem to want to eat her. But isn’t that what zombies do? Then why do they not
want to eat her?
Liv learns from her memories how the world ended and the
dead started to walk around attacking and eating people. They also tell her
that she may have been a zombie herself. She also remembers her name and
parents and that she had a sister.
Liv thinks a lot on being a zombie but now she is not and
about being human again. Liv thinks about the people she may have attacked as a
zombie and feels remorse and regret for what she has done.
Awake is unlike any zombie book I have ever read before. I
have said this before but with this book it is truer than ever. I have read
more books than I can count about zombies but I have never ever read a book
about zombies and what they felt or thought or what may have went through their
minds when they were zombies I didn’t think a zombie had a mind anymore but who
knows right?
I really and truly loved reading Awake and would love to
read more stories from this world. Awake is the first book by Jennifer Reynolds
that I have read but I hope it is not the last as I do believe that I may have
found another favorite author as I do love apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic,
zombie books. I can’t seem to get enough of zombies or this genre. I do believe
that Awake has become one of my favorite books.
If you like apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic books about
zombies then I highly, highly recommend Awake. One click your copy today!
