K. Thomas – Time To Wake

Time To Wake is the first book in a paranormal romance series as well as a debut for K.Thomas. A book that has a cover that delighted me and a synopsis that intrigued me. I needed no pushing to jump to read this at all!

Senlis is your typical artist. Empath, hater of mornings, and the bearer of a strange name passed down from her grandmother. With a penchant for caffeine and a pet ghost, she’s just trying to live her best life.

Did she mention she also happens to devour souls? No? Well, it’s a bit of a conversation killer… no pun intended.

When new neighbors move in across the street, Senlis strikes up an unexpected friendship with the equally quirky Katie. The two get mixed up in a party circuit that leaves a string of missing girls– and a trail back to Senlis’ less than human origins. At the center of it all is Hunter: a guy not smart enough to keep his distance. He’s arrogant, frustrating, and terribly distracting… Just, please don’t tell anyone she admitted that last part.

Is Hunter involved in the mysterious murders? Or is he just in the wrong place at the right time?

As she tries to figure out Hunter’s motives, Senlis ends up learning what it means to be a Nephilim, and how her past is playing a role in the murders. “Time to Wake” is the first book of a new-adult paranormal romance series brimming with suspense and quirky laughs

The first thing I must say is that the world building in this tale is superb. I wanted to stay in this magical world for as long as possible. The characters are interesting and very well developed. Senlis, the main character, and Hunter are so complex and brilliant at the same time with their unique parts to play. The other characters are interesting as well, and every single one have a mysterious air.

With a snarky Senlis bringing me some laughs and the wit throughout the book, I smiled all the way. The uniqueness of the storyline, the fabulous world building, and the sense of place transported me out of my house, and I was away in an imagined world with a ton of colourful and funny characters. I really had no issue just putting everything else I had to do off and just stayed with Senlis, Hunter, Benny, and everyone else. That’s how wrapped up I was!

This isn’t just an original plot that’s full of suspense and drama. No, this also has action and twists, and it’s even funny, too! I love this type of book, it’s a perfect story to lose yourself in…and I did. Roll on book two.

Thanks to ZooLoo’s book Tours and K.Thomas for my copy of this gorgeous story.
