Awakening

I struggled with this book at first, and almost left it to start something else. I'm so glad I stuck with it as, despite the slow start, it soon became a very good read.
The heroine is a wildlife vet with a scarred face and a huge chip on her shoulder. Throw in a village nursing a deadly brew, a pentecostal priest, snakes and murder and you have the makings of a tense, athmospheric read.

My least favorite of all her books- and yet she's still one of my favorite authors. I did not like the snakes one bit and I felt that it was far too easy to suss out the ending. Now I just have to wait for Dead Scared to come out this summer...and I am not looking forward to the wait.
