The Illumination

The Awakening Series, Book 4

De: Lisa M. Lilly

Narrado por: Shiromi Arserio

In this final installment of the best-selling Awakening Series, Tara Spencer comes face-to-face with the forces that caused her supernatural pregnancy. She also learns the truth about her child's origin - and her own.

On awakening from a 13-month coma, Tara discovers the well-adjusted infant she remembers is gone, replaced by a toddler who shies away from her mother and who has yet to speak her first word. Threats and violence have split the Spencer family apart, and protestors plague Tara wherever she goes after discharging herself from the hospital.

A young woman arranges to meet Tara, giving her what she says is the key to unraveling the mystery of Tara's pregnancy and mission. But she brings news of death and destruction as well and is suspicious of Tara's closest allies.

Struggling for answers, Tara seeks out the man she believes was responsible for the kidnapping of her beloved daughter. Tragedy follows, and Tara despairs of ever freeing herself and her child from danger.

Tara longs for a guide, but when she finds one, the message she hears nearly destroys her.

How much must she sacrifice to save the world?

The Illumination

Shiromi Arserio is a fine narrator for this book.Tara is trying to keep her daughter safe after coming out of a coma.People seem to expect more of her than she is capable of doing.It seems there is no one she can trust.I found this book slow moving and just not as pulled together as the others.Too much repetition.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.”

OK

I have not listened/read the other books in this series but I loved the description so I thought I will give it ago.

I found it slow and confusting to begin with (this might be due to the fact I have not read the others in the series) but once it got going it improved.

The How and Why of it all...

I’m first listening to this book, the 4th in the series, as opposed to starting from book 1, so keep that in mind:
The premise is interesting; the action keeps moving along; the characters aren’t melodramatic. If you like Dan Brown-type stories with shadowy organizations as the bad guy, this one’s for you. This installment tells the how and why...
Arserio’s narration would benefit from a little more differentiation between characters; some are clear, some not, like Tara and Cyril.

Original messiah / anti-Christ story

I have not read/ listened to any of the other books in this series. Despite that, I did not have difficulty getting into the story. I am now intrigued and would like to listen to the others in the series.
There are not any explicit sex scenes, violence or swearing.

This is an original story about a young woman and her daughter, believed by many to be the messiah or anti-christ. In this book, Tara learns more about who kidnapped her daughter, who is plotting to harm them and why, the reason behind her virgin pregnancy and what she needs to do to claim back her life.

The narrator has a pleasant voice and did well with the different characters. Her character voices were discernible. I would listen to another book by this narrator.

read the first 3 books and 🎶 to the 4th

the first 3 books were great I liked the series very much ..
the 4th book was good as well although I had some problams with it .
I was wating for more drama because she was necessary in this case in my option but it didn't Escalade like I was expecting maybe it's not a bad thing so I give this book 4 stars.
