Klappentext:
In the realm of Talamh, a teenage warrior named Keegan emerges from a lake holding a sword—representing both power and the terrifying responsibility to protect the Fey. In another realm known as Philadelphia, a young woman has just discovered she possesses a treasure of her own…
When Breen Kelly was a girl, her father would tell her stories of magical places. Now she’s an anxious twentysomething mired in student debt and working a job she hates. But one day she stumbles upon a shocking discovery: her mother has been hiding an investment account in her name. It has been funded by her long-lost father—and it’s worth nearly four million dollars.
This newfound fortune would be life-changing for anyone. But little does Breen know that when she uses some of the money to journey to Ireland, it will unlock mysteries she couldn’t have imagined. Here, she will begin to understand why she kept seeing that silver-haired, elusive man, why she imagined his voice in her head saying Come home, Breen Siobhan. It’s time you came home. Why she dreamed of dragons. And where her true destiny lies—through a portal in Galway that takes her to a land of faeries and mermaids, to a man named Keegan, and to the courage in her own heart that will guide her through a powerful, dangerous destiny…

Meine Meinung:
Ich lese ja eher selten Urban Fantasy Romane, daher kenne ich auch nur wenige. The Awakening ist eine solide Geschichte. Mir ist sie allerdings zu seicht, zu viele Details sind bei Harry Potter geklaut und die Figuren sind zu schwarz-weiß: Die bösen Leute sind so böse, dass sie einfach nur unsympathisch sind, die guten Leute sind so nett, dass sie gar keine Ecken und Kanten haben. Die einzigen wirklich interessanten Charaktere sind Keegan und seine Mätresse.
Achtung! Es handelt sich hier um den ersten Teil einer Trilogie, der mit einem Cliffhanger endet.
