Awakened The Oracle Chronicles

Moni Boyce2019
Secret lineage, a ruthless vampire, and forbidden love. Willow Stevens dreams of stardom are eclipsed by the real nightmares of a sinister man haunting her dreams. Unbeknownst to her, Eli Walker, her hot but snobbish co-worker, may know the reason nightmares plague her, but their history shows he is more prone to reject her, than help her. Then Willow passes out at work only to wake in Eli's apartment. There she has her chance to learn more about her heritage. But, knowing why the vampire king stalks her doesn't make the nightmares disappear. If anything, they become more real as she now faces off against a slew of creatures she'd always believed were myth. That Eli is one of those creatures is just her luck. Secret witch guild or not, his natural ways are casting spells her heart can't escape. As a Protector his only focus should be her safety. Anything else is forbidden. He plans to stay in task, but some women break a man, or tempt him to break the rules. Can Eli keep Willow alive and safe from the vampires long enough for her to grow her own powers or will both cast aside rules for a reckless passion that will only lead to danger? AWAKENED is the first installment in The Oracle Chronicles series. This interracial, paranormal romance is a great mix of magic, adventure. **This book is part of a series and ends in a cliffhanger**

So this is my first 2 star rating using CAWPILE. I didn't really connect to the characters. I didn't understand where the connection between Eli and (wow I just read this and have completely forgotten the main character's name. I think that tells you just how much I didn't connect with the characters.) the main character came from. As far as they explain it they both fall in love with the other person without ever having spoken to each other. Like what is that? Also, the writing just was seriously lacking for me, and the logic was very questionable. We would have scenes where I was like whoa where did this come from? Why are the characters behaving this way? It was so weird. I liked the idea behind the plot, and the atmosphere was good, but everything else was lacking for me. I don't think I'll continue with the series. I did read the supposed cliffhanger, but even that didn't catch my interest or leave me needing to know what happens next. Overall, I read this on a recommendation from Riley Marie a youtuber I like, and I think she made it sound better than what I actually read. I was expecting such cuteness from Max and the main character's friendship, but it just seemed like we barely got any interaction from them. I was also expecting a possible love triangle or kidnapping in regards to Killian. I was also expecting this great slow burn forbidden romance, but it just missed the mark. We were given practically nothing throughout the book, and then the ending was way to rushed to appreciate. I don't know. I guess this is the first book in a while that I finished even though I didn't really like it. I think it was because it was so short. By the time the book finished is normally where I would DNF a book.

Exactly what I needed. Quick, entertaining and cute. I loved all of the characters and the various paranormal elements. Lots of intriguing plots packed into one short book.
