I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up Forsaken to read. I hadn’t read the synopsis so went into it completely blind. Hannah had a life that wasn’t all that great to be honest. She was left abandoned by her parents and a very young age and ended up in the foster care system until she was eventually adopted at the age of 14 to a well off family.

Three years later Hannah started to have odd dreams and fainted a lot and was taken to a special doctor, who then sent her to live at The House of Lorelei a special school for special people Hannah thought this was going to be some kind of asylum especially since there was no way off the Island apart from boat. How wrong Hannah was, changing her name and learning a great deal about how special she was the book got more and more interesting the further I read.

Forsaken is a brilliant and capturing book. I was completely hooked. The love story with Finn was so cute, learning about the powers Hannah/Stacia has and all of her other friends. Saving her friends life. The story was never dull.

I read this really quickly, the anticipation was just too much I just couldn’t put the book down!

My daughter is now reading this and she is loving it just as much as I did. I cannot wait to read the second book, Awaken.
