Dead Awakenings is the perfect book for lovers of PNR…..and for those (like me) who don't read much of the genre. Evaine is a struggling college student who tries to make a quick buck by participating in a drug trial. She wakes up, days later, in a dirty, makeshift hospital. Next thing she knows, she's being rescued by the gorgeous Luca and taken to Haven House. Here, she learns what she is…….a Deader, her body is dead but her brain still functions…..and now she has special powers.Evaine doesn't remember anything about her life. She doesn't know that she has a fiancee out there looking for her. Tristan is devastated by the disappearance of his love and will stop at nothing to find her. But while Tristan is looking for Evaine, Luca is watching Tristan. Luca and Evaine has a strange but very strong connection, one Luca doesn't want ruined if Evaine remembers.I loved Luca, strong and brooding, sweet and compassionate, gorgeous (even though he's undead). He tries to fight the pull Evaine has on him, but cannot fight their connection. He wants nothing more than to keep her safe. I felt so bad for Tristan. Also gorgeous and rich, Evaine refused to let him support her and wanted to keep their relationship a secret. When he sees Evaine, he too wants to protect her and keep her with him, even though she is not the same girl he fell in love with.Right away I knew this book was going to be different than anything I've read, and I was right!! I was hooked from the second chapter. This story is well-written, fast-paced and action-packed!! So unique. There were some crazy twists and turns, and it seems that the author left it open for another book.
