Awakening (Awake As A Stranger Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.8 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

"A mind-bending thriller that will keep you awake long after the last page... A journey that challenges everything you know about identity and reality." - Amazon Reader

What if waking up meant becoming someone else entirely?

When Treaz opens her eyes the morning after her 32nd birthday, she's no longer in her own body. Trapped in a stranger's life, a thousand miles from home, she's forced into an unthinkable arrangement—living each day in a different person's body, serving a mysterious secretive organization's shadowy agenda.

★ A psychological thriller that readers can't put down
★ A unique blend of science fiction and international intrigue
★ Two powerful women fighting against impossible odds
★ A conspiracy that spans continents and consciousness

Meanwhile, in a remote Swiss compound, Omani lives as a prisoner under her uncle's oppressive control. When a mysterious online connection offers hope of escape, she must decide: remain safely enslaved or risk everything for freedom?

"I read all three books in less than a week... the twists and turns will keep you guessing until the end." - Amazon Reader

Through Treaz and Omani's parallel journeys, witness how courage and determination can unite strangers in the face of overwhelming odds.

    This is book one of the trilogy, Awake as a Stranger. And this book does not stand alone. It leaves many unanswered questions. The three books need to be read to get the full story.

    The book follows the lives to two women, Treaz (pronounced like trees) and Omani. Treaz is a transitioner. She jumps bodies and inhabits other people for a certain period. Omani is trapped in a compound run by her uncle. The compound is in Switzerland.

    This is a fascinating book. It’s told completely from the point of view of those two women. Therefore, the reader learns about why they are in the situations they are in as the two characters learn.
    The book is well written. I have no complaints other than the structure. So much is left open that reading the next book is a requirement.

    If you’re looking for something different, this is definitely it. And I suggest you read the prequel novella.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awakening has certainly kept me awake!
    Reviewed in Australia on January 31, 2025
    I read the pre-short story Inklings last night then immediately ordered the trilogy and dove in. Today I have finished Awakening, and only fatigue is keeping me from delving into the next book. It's riveting. The two girls are so intriguing in their captivity and how they're trying to deal with their lives. And the overlaying threats that hang over them has me twitchy and fingernail biting. Brilliant audience -captivating, seamless writing. Can't wait to get to the next book.
