About this listen

The first in a trilogy from Sunday Times bestseller Nora Roberts, The Awakening is a story of adventure, magic and finding your home.

Mists, shimmering silver fingers, rose over the pale green water of the lake. They twined and twisted toward a sky quietly gray, while in the east, over the hills, a pink blush waited, like a held breath, to waken.

Breen Kelly had always been a rule follower. So, when her father left when she was twelve years old, promising to return, she waited. Now, more than a decade later, she's working at a job she hates and is tired of the life that playing by the rules has dealt her. It's time to make a change.   

Breen makes a leap into the unknown with a summer trip to Ireland - her father's homeland. Little does she know how much of a leap until a walk in the woods leads her through a portal into another world - Talamh - where Breen will find magic, family and a destiny she could never have dreamed of.

I loved the storyline and have gone on to buy the next in the series.
Only jarring thing is the dogs name especially when Breen writes children’s stories about the dog without changing the name!
I usually admire the creativity of Nora in naming dogs and I can only think that no one advised her how unpleasant a word it is here in the UK and not normally used around children.

Shame about the dogs name

I don't normally leave reviews but I listen to alot of audiobooks everyday all day due to my health meaning I am currently bedbound the majority of the time and this Just became my fab author I lived every word of these books, the author definitely has a way of writing that means it is so relatable you could actually be there. You will not regret this series and I am surprised to see she had books it lots of genres. Already bought the first one of another series.

You won't regret it.
