Wake, Lisa McMann

It’s hard to read Wake without thinking about Stephenie Meyer. My apologies to Lisa McMann but it really seemed like this story should have been encased in a black shiny cover and be about the size of a phone book. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I was pleasantly surprised by this story and was glad to have found it (I can’t remember where I heard about this one). It’s a quick, easy, suspenseful read written completely in Stephenie Meyer-esque prose. And during report card/pink slip season that’s the kind of book I’m looking for at the end of the day.
