The Awakening is the first instalment in The Dragon Heart Legacy trilogy, where parallel worlds clash over the struggle between good and evil. Breen Kelly, a high school English teacher from Philadelphia, has been studying hard for a title and a career she's not even sure she wanted. She never made a choice herself for many things in her life; they were the wish of her cold and dominant mother, who seemingly wanted to live vicariously through her. The warmest childhood memories are of her Irish
2.5 stars -- I am a huge fan of La Nora, but I had a very mixed experience with this first entry in a new paranormal series from her. The things I liked were the actual magic system and world the fantasy elements are based on. They are all coorelated to the Fey and set in an alternate fey realm in Ireland, which was really fun.

And it was palpable how much she put herself into this book.If you haven’t been to Ireland yet, after reading this book you’ll put the isla...
A rather disappointing read coming from such a seasoned author. I agree with other reviewers that it's far longer than it needed to be given what's there. Its biggest failing is that it's a mish-mash of tropes and cliches - You have your chosen one trope. You have the sassy gay best friend trope with matching "gayborhood." (One can only assume it was a misguided attempt to signal inclusiveness, though it instead comes off as pandering and shallow.) And then you have your overpowered-yet-bumbling...
