Michael takes us on a journey through the eyes of a young boy into a world of suspense, action, and adventure. I was captured at page one with a story that leads us down the rabbit hole, constantly trying to separate dreams from reality. As a reader of suspense and science fiction, I find most stories follow predictable paths. Crow- The Awakening does not fit that mold. I was stumped as to the roll of each character until the very end by the clever concealment of their actual purpose. I especially enjoyed how our hero grows from innocence to strength when pushed to his limits. Love, laughter, suspense, and pain…it’s all in there. Be ready for a long night because once your hooked, you won’t put it down.

The Matrix meets Avatar with a bit of Jason Bourne for flavor. Michael has a winner and definitely a new fan. Looking forward to the release of the next book in the series and what could possibly be a big screen hit.
