Description
From USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Aaron Patterson.
Airel: The Awakening (Airel Saga Book One)
All Airel wanted was to be normal...
She seems like an average 17-year-old in the anonymous little city of Boise, Idaho: Airel. But those untroubled days are soon to end, and the change she undergoes will be so radical she will wonder if it wasn't all an illusion to begin with. Pursued ferociously, relentlessly by an ancient enemy in the deepest darkness, now she will have to learn how to fight for her life. And all because of who she is, because of her lineage. Because of this she will never have what she wants most: she will never be normal.
A Note From the Publisher
This is Book One in the Airel Saga. The series is now complete and available.
Advance Praise
"It takes rare talent for a man to write a novel from a male POV and
have it published to great critical and commercial acclaim. But it takes
a miracle for that same male, or in this case males, to write a novel
from the POV of a teenage girl and have it turn out as incredibly as did
the new StoneHouse YA by Aaron Patterson and Chris White, AIREL. From
the first sentence, I felt compelled to dive into this young woman's
story and just as importantly, I felt like I personally knew her, which
means I laughed, stressed and cried right along with her. A beautifully
written and crafted fiction about teenage innocence, faith, loss and
love. A must read for teens and adults alike."
--Vincent Zandri, International Bestselling Author of The Remains, The Innocent, and Concrete Pearl
"I
am happy to say that this novel is one of my favorites of its kind. I
never thought I could read a novel like this and be so swept away! I am
always willing to try new books, but I usually steer clear of this kind
of novel. Not anymore! Not when I can be so engrossed into the
character's story, like I was with the beautiful AIREL, that before I
know, it's over. I kept turning the pages , wanting to, no-NEEDING, to
know what was going to happen next."

I thoroughly enjoyed this read. This is book one in the Airel Saga and I will absolutely be getting the next few books soon.
Airel is just your average teenage girl. That is, until the new guy Michael Alexander shows up. Ever since she laid eyes on him Airel's body has been acting strange. It's as if she has known Michael her entire life. She gets physically ill whenever she is near him and has somehow obtained the ability to heal herself quickly.
While at the movies with Michael, she witnesses a murder. The murderer then begins to stalk her and leaves her a chilling message in her mail box, I know what you are. Airel has no idea what he means by this, but is determined to figure out why this man is following her and what he knows about her. Airel has started to hear pages turning in the back of her mind. She describes it as having an invisible friend, but the pages turning are telling the ancient story of a family of warriors in Egypt.
Super interesting read that was a great introduction to what I hope will continue to be an exciting story about Airel.

I like Airel from beginning to end. It's one of the books ht I got to the last page and gasped, "Oh, NO! I NEED book two!"
I felt for Airel. She was not the "perfect" image of a teen girl, but she wasn't someone to be pitied. She knows what she wants. She has the support of her best friend, Kim. She wants to be different and is proud of this quality.
I was confused when the story jumped to 1250 BC, Arabia. I'm still guessing where this will lead, hence the need for book 2. I have my ideas, but need to see if I am right or will be taken on a completely different path.
So many questions. Who is the blond stranger? How does he know what she is? What is she? Why does she have headaches and get sick? I can't wait for her date with Michael and how he reacts when she tells him "everything". Does he have any answers for her? Why did she begin to change the same day he shows up in town? Anticipation!! Good job, Aaron, leave me hanging on!
I will definitely recommend this book to friends and colleagues. I can't wait to hear their frustrations when they have to wait to read the sequels.This books in an obvious 5 star read! LOVED it!
