title: Awoke: The Want Series (Book 1)
author:  K T Conte 
description: <span>"The story was engaging and it held my interest throughout as I was transported along with Katya into this new world. Katya was a great character. She was beautiful but did not flaunt it, she was unapologetically sassy, yet kind and loyal. She was strong-willed, yet vulnerable ... And it was refreshing to have a black lead character." Laura Fabiani, iReadBook</span><br /><br />"<span>The stakes and tension remain high through-out the book, and danger always hangs in the air. But there's also intrigue and all sorts of hidden agendas--some of which hint at many things still to come. It's a classic battle of good versus evil, where it's clear that the sides are going to grow foggier as the tale goes on. In other words, lots of twists and turns, and delightful evil plans." ~ Tonja Decker, Amazon reviewer</span><br /><br />"This is a beautifully developed world with lots of characters. They are introduced at a pace that does not leave you make notes to figure out who is who. I loved the story, there is lots of action, and an ending that will leave you wanting book two to see what happens next." JBronder, Amazon reviewer<br /><br />"T<span>old in an absorbing first person narrative voice, Awoke is a gripping entry in the Want Series by K.T. Conte, a great read for young adult fans of the paranormal. T</span><span>he writing is beautiful and K.T. Conte creates a striking balance between her descriptive narrative and the fascinating dialogues, keeping the reader well-entertained. Awoke is a fast-paced, exciting read." ~ Readers' Favorite</span>
