ReAwakened by Ada Adams (Angel Creek #2)

Publication Date: November 27th, 2012

Book Description:

Becoming a vampire guardian was Dawn Fairchild’s ticket out of the Scarlet House. Fresh off a successful mission, life in Angel Creek should have been great. But when her sort-of-maybe-boyfriend, Sebastian, disappears on a quest to help a beautiful vampire from his past, Dawn finds herself amidst a web of danger, lies, and deceit.

Joining forces with Razor, an enigmatic rebel lacking both a verbal and a physical filter, and her band of Misfits—Brooke, Sophie, Hunter, and Seth—Dawn is thrust into a race against the clock to solve the mystery surrounding brutal Born kidnappings and come to terms with the sudden discovery of her own unique powers. With time ticking away and Born vampires’ lives in jeopardy, it quickly becomes evident that someone—or something—desperately wants Dawn and is willing to shed any amount of blood to get her.

Dawn has only one chance to face her demons and overcome all obstacles standing in her way as she embarks on the biggest mission of her life—one that threatens a deadly outcome for all involved.

This or That 

(with sexy sexy sexy Sebastian, did I mention he is sexy?)

1. Books or TV? Books. I’ve been reading since I could remember. While I did go through the excitement of the TV invention stage, I always return to books.

2. Hot or Cold? Cold. I’m definitely more into winter sports than summer ones.

3. Night owl or early bird? A bit of both. I tend to be a night owl, but I also enjoy the peace and serenity of the early morning. Staying up with Dawn all night is my perfect scenario.

4. Coke or Pepsi? Blood Cola.

5. Blondes or Brunettes? I’m more attracted to the whole person than a specific hair color, but right now there is only one girl that comes to mind when answering this question. And since she has brown hair, I’m going with brunette.

6. Horror or Romance? Films: horror. Real life: romance.

7. Sweet or Sexy? Both. Sometimes sweetness can be very sexy.

8. Angels or Demons? Angels. I’ve had the displeasure of meeting too many demons in my life.

9. Gum or Breath Mints? Toothbrush and toothpaste. But between the two: gum.

10. Cars or bikes? Cars. The faster the better.

11. Beach or Mountain? Mountain. Give me snowboarding on a mountain over baking on the beach any day.

12. Cats or Dogs? Dogs. They loyalty is impressive.

13. White lie or blunt truth? Blunt truth. Although, I admit that when it comes to Dawn I’ve been known to avoid the truth in hopes of protecting her. Learned my lesson the hard way on that one.

14. Music: the 80's or the 90's? I assume we’re talking about the 1900’s? 80’s rock. I wasn’t into the 90’s boy bands craze.

15. Elegant or confortable? Looking elegant while feeling comfortable.

Review and Rating:

5 freaking stars for an A-Freaking-mazing Book!

OMG! I have to admit that I liked "ReVamped" (Angel Creek #1) but I absolutely LOVED ReAwakened!

I finish it 5 minutes ago so I'm still very excited and need to come down to Earth before writing something coherent!
This book left me flying!!! 

There has been a total improvement from the first book to this one. Ada's writing has gotten better and it's a lot richer. She achieved an incredible character depth, the descriptions and their stories made them more REAL, I connected more with them and also their relationships were more dynamic than in the first instalment.

We have new characters such as Lena, Sienna, RAZOR (yummy, funny and enigmatic Razor!). Here also appear Aurora and Charlotte, who we met in the first book but here they have a greater importance.

We learned a lot about Brooke's and Hunter's story. Brooke was one of my favorite characters already and her story just confirms how awesome she is and how justified her personality is, also she matures so much that you can't help loving her!
Hunter has a dark and sad past, I felt for him. He wasn't very interesting until now. His bashfulness or quietness is indeed, fitting and reasonable.

Razor cannot be described (though I tried above) but he is great, compelling and you learn to care for him.

Dawn and Sebastian's chemistry skyrockets in this book and there is such an interesting twist that had me at the edge of my seat all the time!

The discovery of Fortas and the disappearing of Borns make the reader doubt  where the loyalties lay!

If I have to describe this book in one word, that word would be: MORE.

(MORE romance, MORE depth in characters, MORE action, and what I want? MORE of this series!)

ADA ADAMS COMPLETELY OVERCAME HERSELF! 

It deserves 5 stars and a happy dance!

Getting to know Ada Adams.

"Many people sing in the shower. I write scenes in my

 head and act them out."

At the age of five, Ada read her first chapter book—Pippi  Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren. Ever since that moment, she developed an intense passion for stories and characters found within the pages of literature.

In her career as a writer and an actress, Ada spends most of her days immersed in imaginary worlds. Much like the characters she enjoys playing and writing about, Ada is a martial artist with a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. 

She is also a big proponent of lifelong learning, and has attained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (it aids in creating characters with unique quirks!) as well as a  Masters of Science in Education.

Ada strives to bring a fresh voice and perspective to fiction. She has been writing creatively for many years, and is an editor of a global fashion/literary magazine called VEUX.

She lives in Toronto, Canada, and enjoys adventurous nature hikes with her adorable puppies Cara and Oreo.

Here are her 2 works:

ReVamped (Angel Creek #1) and the soon to be released ReAwakened (Angel Creek #2)

Personally I started reading ReVamped a few days ago and the only reason why I didn't finish it in one day is because I have a lot of deadlines but I'm dying to jump straight into it!

The writing is so refreshing and humorous. 

And as Ada herself defined it: "with a satirical twist".

Don't you just love the covers?

ReVamped: 

A simple mission turned deadly.

Nineteen-year-old vampire Dawn has led a sheltered life within the confines of her father’s presidential headquarters. Upon being sent on a mission to revamp four goofy misfits into guardians of a peaceful little town of Angel Creek, Dawn believes that all her dreams have finally come true. What starts off as a simple task, turns into something unexpected, changing Dawn’s life forever and leading the action-loving, thrill-seeking vampire teen on a path of mystery, danger and intrigue.

When a human girl is kidnapped by a group of rogue vamps, Dawn discovers that there is more going on in Angel Creek than meets the eye. And it all connects to Ethan, the cute newcomer who seems too perfect to be true, Sebastian, the mysterious vampire with a turbulent past, and even Dawn herself. Dawn must not only succeed in revamping the troubled recruits, but must also prevent the vampire race from being overtaken by a malevolent villain who has a strange and obsessive fascination with her. As threat escalates, romance blooms, and ghosts from her past begin to surface, Dawn is sure of only one thing: her life will never be the same.
