About the Book
An unsuspecting teen discovers a
secret that lures her into the snare of a ruthless crime boss. Can she survive
his twisted game?
When her dad dies during a business trip to Romania, Kat Barrett blames herself for their broken relationship. She's racked with guilt, haunted by strange dreams about the crash that killed him, and she’d do anything to have him back.
Then a package arrives. It’s from her dad and contains a list of clues — one of
his classic scavenger hunts. Desperate for answers, she follows the clues to
Bucharest and meets Maksim, a local with a dark past who offers to help. Kat
doesn't trust him, but when she hits a dead end, she’s left with no other
choice.
As they work together, decoding the clues while trying (unsuccessfully) not to
fall for each other, the scavenger hunt reveals a dangerous secret the dreams
have been pointing to, something Maksim’s old crime ring has been hiding all
along, and Kat has walked into their trap.
Can she beat them to the final clue — and solve it — before she suffers the
same tragic fate as her dad?

Book Trailer
Billy's Review
The plot is intriguing, although the actual story has its ups and downs, filled with the typical cliches one would expect from a mystery thriller. As for the writing, the author is talented and gave her all with the prose, dialogue, and descriptions. The pacing was good, and I moved through the pages, eagerly waiting for what happened next.
Overall, "AWAKEN THE DAWN" is a flawed but surprisingly entertaining mystery that will enthrall readers from the beginning till the very end. ╌★★★★✰
