Awake at Dawn<\/a><\/em> (2011) C. C. Hunter<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is the sequel to Born at Midnight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kylie Galen is a supernatural. She doesn’t want to be, and she really doesn’t like the way she doesn’t know what she is and how being a “Ghost Whisperer” sets her apart from the other kids at camp. But she’s adjusting, and she’s slowly discovering her powers.<\/p>\n

Kylie also doesn’t know what to do with the boys in her life. She’s had a connection with Lucas since they first met when she was five. But Lucas seems to be with Fredericka, and Derek is interested in her, and he’s cute and nice…<\/p>\n

The camp–soon hoping to be a boarding school–is still threatened by a group of rogue supernaturals who don’t like the idea of raising kids to follow the law instead of just taking what they want.<\/p>\n

I’m enjoying following Kylie and seeing her reactions to the changes in her life, and especially like how she is dealing with her parent’s separation–not that she’s doing a good job of dealing with it at the start of the story, but I think it is a very realistic description, and she is working through it.<\/p>\n

There is smooching, and Kylie harbors thoughts of sex, but there is no sex. And amusingly, Kylie’s mother bombards her with sex education pamphlets, which I thought was kinda awesome. And some of the other characters admit to having sex, but nothing on the page.<\/p>\n

All in all, another good book. There is of course plenty left unresolved, but nothing horrible and nothing that irked me. I could comfortable stop reading the series here–but I have no interest in doing so.
\nRating: 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n
