Don’t Wake Me Up

This was different with attention grabbing suspense and some supernatural elements. Zenobia was put through the wringer but she came out on top. Don’t play with the dream couple 😏.

This book had me from the very beginning. I did not see any of these plot twists coming. Damien was trash, and I hated how he played Zenobia. Ritz was definitely book bae and wasn't playing about Zenobia. Zenobia and Ritz were a force once they got together. This book had me not knowing who to trust as well as who was gonna actually be the good guy in the end. A great book that will keep you on your toes.

This book was a bit different for me. I’m not normally into paranormal books. It did get a bit confusing but overall it was pretty good and now I just might have a new favorite genre

Not my favorite but it’s okay a lil confusing but it could of been a lil more detailed to make the book more understanding

I like reading paranormal books, I enjoy reading urban books, and I love reading romance books. When I saw “Don’t Wake Me Up” was all three, I immediately downloaded it. This is the first book by Myia White that I’ve read, so I didn’t really know what to expect.

“Don’t Wake Me Up” has a lot of potential to be a really, really good novel. As a novella, I still liked it but I think I would’ve enjoyed it more if it were longer, and we got to dive even deeper into the characters’ backgrounds and motives. I was kinda confused on why the Big Bads wanted the powers. They explained it multiple times, but it didn’t make sense and was convoluted. The ending also felt a bit rushed.

The first few pages of Zenobia’s first chapter broke my heart, and the first few paragraphs of Damien’s first chapter made my mouth drop. My heart broke all over again for Zenobia. Myia did a great job of depicting Zenobia’s grief. You could tell Zenobia loved Damien a lot.

We get a bit of time with Zenobia and Ritz but not enough to make me root for them out of the sheer fact that their love is beautiful. I was rooting for them solely because I didn’t like Damien’s ass. Ritz seemed like a good guy but all we really get about Zenobia and Ritz’s relationship is that there’s an unexplainable pull and contentment between them.

I still recommend reading “Don’t Wake Me Up”, but know that some things aren’t fully fleshed out.

What the what?!

I’m not sure what I just read. I’m a lil shook.

It’s a quick read, but know this…everyone has powers. Powers you can use for good or evil. Sometimes people can see your powers, grow envious and do everything to take what you have. If you’re sure of yourself, you’ll always stand in your truth and do the right thing.

Myia, you did good girl! 😏

Quick

Cute and quick. This isn’t the typical paranormal story. I enjoyed it. I think I would’ve enjoyed it if it was a little longer.
