The Awakening

Seven Sisters #2

by Debra White Smith

A spine–tingling tale, The Awakening highlights the power of love and God’s provision. Supermodel Kim Lan has beauty, wealth, an engagement to heartthrob Ted Curry, close friends, and a budding faith that seldom interferes with her plans. When a secret admirer sends flowers and notes, Kim is flattered. But as the letters become more possessive, warning signals flash. To escape the mysterious gift–giver, Kim joins a mission outreach to Asia. But coordinator Mick O–Donnel’s vision for a quiet, sincere offer of aid is threatened by Kim’s celebrity. Sparks fly as their lifestyles clash, their values collide, and they battle an undercurrent of passion. When Kim’s “secret admirer” reveals he’s close by, Kim desperately searches for someone she can trust. Book 2 in the series.

Easy, quick read with meaning. A few places made me think about my Christian walk and what I needed to change.

[Becky Underwood Baldwin · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a slow read. Liked the religiousness of it.

[Mishon · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s okay for a one time read. Nothing crazy spectacular about it really, just a light easy read.

Just ok... I like the characters in this series, but nothing special about this one. Did have a surprise twist, which I wasn't expecting.
