Amazing
I love paranormal books but I have a hard time finding urban paranormal books. This is a great book!. I did not know if I would like it but I love it. Her writing is perfect. The characters and the story developed at a good pace. Not overly descriptive but just right. The sex scenes are amazing. Abriya was over weight and picked on at school. Clarence comes and she falls in love with him but she does not think he likes her. Clarence leaves and Abriya graduates from high school. She goes to college and loses weight. After her second year in college everything changes. That is all I am giving up now you have to read it for yourself. Thank you Leesha McCoy for a great book.

OMG
I was stuck in the same spot, hand went numb from holding my phone for so long ( cause I read on my phone) laying on my side with my wrist tingling ... I couldn’t put it down!!! I read this a while ago but I’ll never forget it... becoming aware was the first book I read by this beautiful author, Leesha McCoy, but believe me I have read most of her work by now. She has a way with telling the story that takes me there... right there living through my favorite character... not to mention the tips I take from her “scenes.. don’t sleep on her ... I’m looking forward to the next new release you should be too!!!!

Not the worst I've read… This one isn't the worst but it's in the junk pile for sure. The author did a horrible job connecting the characters with the readers, the story was jumpy and didn't blend well together at all. I knew it was going downhill when he up and decides to tell her he's leaving for years and she's willing to wait on him and they had nothing going on at all at that point in the read. This should've been free because the author was obviously practicing with this one.

It's sad that Abriya never knew her parents and lost her grandmother before really finding out who and what she was. I really enjoyed getting to know more about how she and Clarence met and fell in love. I've got a feeling book 2 is gonna be crazy.

Wtf
What’s really going on? He always told her she was special but she passed that. Why were they attacking Clarence and why his men turned on him?

Sooo good
She is definitely gifted with a pen. Her ability to describe what’s happening leaps off the pages. I can’t see and feel every word that is written.

Becoming aware Book 1
This book was very good although I thought there was an awful lot of the ' f ' word in it that didn't need to be. Other than that it was a good story.
