Brenda's Reviews > False Awakening

Melaina was more than grateful to have her Mum home after she was in the coma for so long – living with her after the upbringing she’d had with her aunt, uncle and cousins was different, but wonderful. But even though she’d permanently removed the evil Ikelos she still felt uneasy. And when Melaina was summonsed to meet with the Morpheus, she was sure she would be in trouble…

As Melaina fought to remove the blight she had no idea things were about to get much worse. With her boyfriend Brad’s grandfather in a coma, she knew they needed help. But it was her cousin, Olivia who just days prior, had had her eighteenth birthday who was in the biggest trouble. Would Leander be able to help Melaina? Or would it be too late for Olivia?

False Awakening by Aussie author Cassandra Page is the second of the Lucid Dreaming series and though the author has intimated it will be the last, I really hope it’s not! I love the characters; the fast-paced magical dreaming is cleverly done; the imagination to create the scenes is brilliant! Speculative fiction at its best – it’s also set in Australia – Canberra actually where I lived for some years so know the places referenced. I have no hesitation in recommending False Awakening highly.

With thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.
