The 11th Hour

Wake by Lisa McMann reads very much like a police report. The writing is very concise and to the point. Not a lot of flashiness, which actually made it a very quick and easy read. Despite the ease at which this book flows, it is not lacking in imagination and creativity. I enjoyed it very much and it was a big relief after the last book I read, which took me over a week to finish. It took me less than 24 hours to complete Wake. 
Though Lisa McMann doesn't go crazy with long, drawn out descriptions... she did manage to create characters that are well developed and who you can feel connected to. Throughout the story, I experienced Janie's pain, I experienced the love she felt for Cabel and the love he felt for her and I wanted desperately to see them end up together.  I have had this book on my shelf for a while now, just haven't gotten around to it. For some reason I thought it was on my list for my reading challenges but I was incorrect and have once again read a free choice book. I'm going to be done with the free choice books before I know it if I am not careful.
