One of the very first people to ever read The Awakened decided to write a book report on it for her high school English class. I so loved this that I decided to pull some of my favorite quotes from her report just to share with all of you.

“The Awakened is a story that stirs fire in the hearts of those who read it, capturing the essence of what it means to have destiny, courage, love and righteous defiance.”
“At this point Nathaniel obeys orders without question. Even when he knows something is not quite right or his mission is pointless, he never questions authority. However, all of that changes when he meets Kyla James, who makes him feel like he’s never felt before. Passion and fire ignite when they are together, making Nathaniel question who he really is and why he is really doing this.”
“Everything is becoming more complicated by the minute, with Nathaniel’s loyalties torn between protecting Kyla from the growing threat of the Alliance and protecting his standing in the Resitore, and the urgent pull he feels to follow his heart.”
“But (Nathaniel) simply cannot let go of Kyla, walk away and face the rest of his life without her.”
“Kyla James was more powerful in the spirit than even she knew. Donovan fears her gifts more than God Himself, because in her spirit she holds the power to set hearts on fire, to awaken and see what no one else can.”
“Who is Nathaniel Blake? Kyla knows he is hiding something, but for the life of her she cannot figure out what it is.”
“There is no explanation to the fire that ignites in (Kyla’s) heart when she is with (Nathaniel.) Even when she realizes that he is the reason Donovan has repeatedly attacked and threatened her, she still can’t stay away from him.”
“(Kyla’s) life hangs in the balance of a war she refuses to acknowledge exists anymore.”
“What (Kyla) refuses to admit, however, is that she is a torn and bleeding child of God who needs only to be protected and shown what it means to truly love and be loved.”
“(Kyla) begins to realize that some things are worth risking everything for.”
“This story brings to life the reality of what love and hate can do. The choices we make affect the destinies we are called to, and like this story, sometimes we are called to act on the extraordinary, to defy all reason in the name of love. Love conquers all, and it will always find a way. For, ‘Love is as strong as death, its jealousy as cruel as the grave. Its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the flood drown it.’ (Song of Songs 8:6)”
