Why read it?

1 author picked If She Wakes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Kortya is an amazing author. I've read several of his things by now, and every time, he tells a really gripping story. The plots are captivating and fast-paced, and I like how he manages to write female characters that are tough and strong without trying to overcompensate on making them "feminine too." (As a female reader, it annoys me when authors do that.)

The examination of the "locked in" character via her efforts was also fascinatingly done, but also suspenseful because of what she was at the center of. I also even enjoy how he writes his bad guys!
