Indigo Awakening by Jordan Dane
4.0

Indigo Awakening is a book about teens with special abilities. I've heard the term "indigo child" before but I never really knew too much about it. Indigo awakening is all about these indigo children- they are kids with special powers. I read a previous book of Jordan Dane's and I liked it but didn't love it, but Indigo Awakening sounded so awesome that I had to read it. And I am glad that I did because I enjoyed it more. I really want to see where this series is going, especially after that ending!

The story follows multiple characters and it is told from many point of views. Most of the time, too many point of views all over the place confuses me and is off putting, but here it worked. I think I enjoyed it because Rayne had more sections than the other people. (even though she wasn't even an indigo child) so it would be one or two sections from other characters and then it would be back to Rayne. This helped me. It also was nice because the other point of views actually advanced the story. Rayne is out looking for her brother, and so are these super creepy bad guys, so it was like a triangle. Rayne and Gabe looking for her brother, the creeps looking for the indigo children, and of course the indigo children looking to just stay hidden.

I'm not going to get into each of the characters because there were so many, but I really liked that the author took the time to let you get to know each of them. This story could have easily just been about Lucas, but it wasn't. Everyone was included.

I thought that the writing was very strong in this book. I loved how each of the points of view was written a little different. For example, Lucas' sections were more confusing and cryptic at the start because he was confused and lost. I liked Rayne's the best, but I think that is because I made a quicker connection with her than with the others.

There is a ton of action, secrets and mystery in Indigo Awakening. It is fast paced and intense. Boy oh boy is it intense. These are real bad guys and real fight scenes and all of it kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about the ending, but I did like that it wasn't a cliffhanger. I am very interested in seeing what the next book will bring us. Indigo Awakening is my favorite Jordan Dane book thus far!
