Sheena Hutchinson’s ‘Seraphina: The Awakening’ easily stands out from the recent crop of paranormal fantasy romances with its clever writing, intense pacing, and intricately woven plot. Sheena is one author you must follow—if this current book is any indication of her talent, then it’s safe to bet there are more wonderful stories where this book comes from.Sera used to be an ordinary young woman—although attractive to boot, with an air of mystery about her, Sera nevertheless led a largely uneventful life—that is, until that accident. Something has been unleashed by that accident—not only internally (Sera starts having strange, previously unknown sensations that make her feel sort of powerful), but also externally (she’s beginning to get all sorts of attention, most of it she wouldn’t want). Worse, she doesn’t remember the accident—the event itself, and the surrounding details. And while still struggling to piece it all together, Sera finds herself thick in a world she never knew existed—a world of mythical beings that meddle in the lives of mortals. And if that’s not enough, Sera is not supposed to stay on the sidelines—her life and her role in the universe is so pivotal she has to make a “do or die” kind of decision.Needless to say, this is the kind of book that will compel you to keep on turning the pages. So a little caveat: avoid reading this if you have some work to do. But on a free weekend, or if you can spare a sleepless night, then spend it reading ‘Seraphina’—it’s going to be one heck of an experience. Overall, ‘Seraphina: The Awakening’ is a deeply entertaining read: for fans of the genre, this is a book you’d love to devour in one sitting. For non-fans of the genre, this book may just win you over. I’ll buy Sheena Hutchinson’s next novel the moment it comes out.  Get a copy of this book today—or send this as a gift to deserving friends.
