What do they know about Allie's background? How do they know about Immortals? Why did Naeemah caution Allie about her relationship with Aidan? I think she knows something and have an inkling about the true nature, why the 'don't go further'?" "*exasperated sigh* a love triangle" -I know they're Complements. -Allie is resisting because Vince represents something normal that she has wanted for ages. Added normal to the added upheaval of her life. -Aidan is pushing because of his loneliness and finally finding someone he's at ease with. -Drama. Drama. Drama. I won The Awakening from a book blog that I follow. The Awakening by Melissa A. Craven is the first book in the Emerge series. We follow Allie and Aidan as they discover who and what they are. The character development and world building is exceptional. The only problem that I had with reading this book was the entire book is about Allie and Aidan's training. I found it to be boring and monotonous. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The prophecy's about you, Red...Allie Carmichael has been haunted by those words for months. After dropping a huge bombshell and then leaving her in limbo, Greggory McBrien still hasn't given her the answers she craves. The knowledge of her past and the absence of both Gregg and her father have left Allie an angry, twisted mess of emotions. She still feels an immeasurable amount of guilt for her mistakes that left her scarred for life and her friend, Quinn a captive of the Coalition. Allie finds herself constantly dancing on the edge of losing control of her power, too afraid to confide in anyone'even her handsome and broody best friend, Aidan. A chance encounter at a dangerous nightclub reserved for Unproven Immortals, gives Allie and her friends the missing piece of the puzzle. If they have any hope of bringing Quinn home, they have to act quickly. As Allie approaches her seventeenth birthday, the nightmares that only Aidan can keep at bay, return with a vengeance and she vows to finally face them on her own. But she struggles to understand what her clairvoyant gift is trying to tell her. When she finally begins to truly understand her gift, she fears it might be too late'and this time the price for her mistakes will be too high. Last time she was afraid. This time she's angry.

Allie came off...young. She's 15 at the start (her 16th bday occurs pretty soon into the book) and she spends a lot of the prologue discussing (mostly to herself) at length how different the felt. how different others treated her. How they treated her with either deference, contempt or grudging polite friendliness.
This makes sense later when you find out she is actually Other (not only Other, but a special kind of Other. A rare 'there seems to be only two of them' special kind of Other), however until she hits her bday she is normal. Moves around a lot, a bit socially awkward, but normal. As far as I could tell (again I skimmed more than half of this) she didn't exude some sort of mystic godly aura. I know it's a common trope that normal humans always unconsciously sense when something Other is in their presence, but it seems a bit of a stretch that for the first dozen pages Allie acted like she was an alien princess in witness protection just because folk "flinched" away from her touch involuntarily.
There is a love triangle of sorts. There's Aiden (who is Other like her) and Vince (who is human like she wants to be), but far as I can tell Aiden is really understanding that she wants to ignore the connection she keeps bringing up and not be with him. He's all for her exploring who she is and what she wants...as long as she doesn't keep playing around with his feelings. Which is fair honestly.
But this did nothing for me. I've read about normals being Other secretly, about Immortals finding each other, Others trying to be normal...and in far more interesting ways.
YMMV so let me know in the comments if you felt different.
