Cliffhanger endings can be brutal, but now it won't be so hard to deal with, thanks to your warning! I appreciate detailed scenes, so it's nice to know they're detailed. Thanks for your review!
It sounds like it's right up your mom's alley. If she reads it, let me know. I enjoyed it greatly.

Thank you for your review, very informative and now I believe it is a book I would like to read because of your review. I really enjoy books of this genre and your rating of 4 out of 4 and your reasons behind the rating make a must read for me.

Your review does make the book sound very interesting. I think the only thing that puts me on the fence about reading it is, like you mentioned, the Templar story line has been used quite a lot. I'm not sure if I'm up for another book on the topic, even if the author has put a new spin on it. Still, you review makes it tempting, so thank you for writing it so well.

I understand. Sometimes the authors rely on something familiar instead of branching out. It was still worth reading, though.

I enjoy reading books with characters that I can easily relate to. The review makes me curious to read the book, maybe I can be able to gauge who my favorite character is. Thanks for the amazing review. :techie-reference:

Excellent summary of The Awakening, makes me want to read it also. Though I can be squeamish if the topic is of horror genre. That is the disadvantage of living through books.

I don't think this one would be too bad for you, but everyone is different. Thanks for the kind words.

What a well-written review! :tiphat:

Since this book in a genre that is my favorite I would be tempted to read it anyway. But you sold me on the book! With your sentence "She finally frees herself from Ingrid's influence, only to somehow land herself in a psychiatric ward. She starts discovering abilities that she never knew she had and quickly finds herself in over her head." I knew I would like it, but the other aspects sound intriguing to me as well. Aliens, and awakenings and saving the world from evil all wrapped up in a book that has action, and romance (without the steamy sex scenes it sounds like), then this book is right up my alley!
