Gray
“Humans are far better than most immortals I’ve met, both good and honorable. If you’re against them, I will stand against you.”
High school is hard enough when you’re a normal human girl. When you’re a Gray elf, masquerading as a human to stay away from the King of the Black elves, it can be downright unbearable. Shayla can’t remember who she truly is, or where she had been taken eight years before. An ordinary human girl is just what she believes she is.
Her abilities to speak with air, stone and water have been hidden away just like she was. The trouble is, Shayla is far more powerful than she knows and the truth just will not be kept down for long.
The Black King has plans for her, but Shayla has plans of her own. She has to learn the truth about herself, learn to control the magic inside her and find a way to make it through high school without the Black King finding out where she is.
Easy . . . not so much. Shayla, her sister, Ben and Dorian must learn to stand together or the Black King will win and Shayla will be an immortal weapon of the Black King’s revenge.

Gray (Awakening Book 1) is a mind-blowing fantasy novel that takes place mainly in the real world, but there are plenty of elves and magic. The plot is original and suspenseful which keeps the reader wanting more. The characters are detailed so well that you love the heroes and despise the villains. There are lots of surprises as we learn Shayla's secrets as she does. I could not put this book down. I read it in just a couple of hours. I am eager to read the sequel and other works by this author!

A very good story with interesting characters and very intriguing worldbuilding that I found hard to put down. My only real criticism would be the dialogue between characters sometimes felt a little unrealistic and forced. Other than that, it's a well flesh-out start to a grander story that I'd recommend for fans of Norse mythology.
