Occasionally you stumble across an author and you immediately have to find and devour all that author has written...as soon as you can...like within a week. This series was a find. It has just the right amount of creepy and paranormal aspects to keep you hunched over the book anxiously, but not so much that you can't sleep at night. I loved the doll island. Sooooooo awesomely freaky. The settings are so well-visualized that you feel like you're there. You can tell the author is very familiar with the area.Definitely read these in order:1. The Reckoning2. The Vanishing3. The AwakeningThe romance in this is believable and sweet. This author definitely goes light on graphic details so you don't have to worry about sharing this series with a friend and them clutching their pearls and passing out.I like to include my favorite lines and I really liked this one because it had a nice, powerful, dramatic flavor to it:"Oh, honey." Sarah sighed. "You two are the most stubborn people I know. Almost as bad as me. Promise me that you won't let pride get in the way if it's possible for you and Holt to have a future.""Pride? I gave up on pride ten years ago when I begged him not to leave. This isn't pride. It's survival."
