“Pure Magic - An Unforgettable 5 - Star Read! Just finished Awakening by J. Ross, and WOW - this book was everything! Think Maleficent, Snow White, Harry Potter, and Once Upon a Time all wrapped into one. From the first page, I was hooked & couldn’t put it down. The world-building? Immersive and magical. The magic system? Breathtaking. The main character? A force to be reckoned with. This story takes you on an emotional rollercoaster filled with power, betrayal, and self-discovery. And the message woven into it? Absolutely beautiful. This book is more than just fantasy-it’s about strength, resilience, and realizing your worth. The emotions had me tearing up the whole damn time, and I know this is one I’ll be rereading. J. Ross did her thing with this debut of hers. If you love dark fantasy with a badass female lead, READ THIS!”

Awakening is a new favorite book of mine! Everything was amazing to the story line to the description and to the characters development. I loved seeing Adanya grow as well as her confidence while reading and just truly got lost in the story. I love Miss J. Ross’s use of flashbacks and she is going to be a new auto buy author of mine! I can’t wait for more of her work and as soon as a physical copy is ready I will be getting a book shelf trophy! “I’ve always believed in you, and I’m not the only one.” 5 Stars!
