Here's the set-up:
THE AWAKENING is "a...gem of a thriller with a huge concept that rivals Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code...."
Tara Spencer's mysterious pregnancy turns her life upside down. Her plans for medical school are sidetracked, her fiancé severs all ties, assuming she must have slept with someone else, and her parents question her mental health when she insists she's never had sex. Only a stranger, Cyril Woods, accepts her claim that she's still a virgin. The religious order that Cyril belongs to believes Tara's child may be a new messiah, fulfilling signs in the Book of Revelation. But when Tara discovers the baby will be a girl, the order sees her as the mother of the anti-Christ who must be destroyed before she triggers the first stage of the Apocalypse. Uncertain whom to trust and afraid of endangering those she loves, Tara fights for her life as she seeks a safe place to give birth and the answer to whether she and her child are meant to save the world or destroy it.
More reviews for THE AWAKENING:
"I couldn't put this down, and ended up staying late at night to finish it."
"A well-written, suspenseful and terse thriller that made you want more. The characters were interesting and real and the underlying plot was fascinating."
"This fast-paced, riveting tale will have you sneaking in moments to read a few more pages ... then a few more. The small (very real life) details and dialogue pull you in, and the story presents ancient themes and ideas in our current time frame---leading the reader to intriguing questions. A great book club choice!"
