Narration To Books Awakening (Lily Dale #1)

   Calla thought that her boyfriend breaking up with her in a text message was the worst thing that could ever happen to her. But just two weeks later, her mother died in a freak accident, and life as she knew it was completely over. With her father heading to California for a new job, they decide that Calla should spend a few weeks with the grandmother she barely knows while he gets them set up.      To Calla's shock, her mother's hometown of Lily Dale is a town full of psychics--including her grandmother. Suddenly, the fact that her mother never talked about her past takes on more mysterious overtones. The longer she stays in town, the stranger things become, as Calla starts to experience unusual and unsettling events that lead her to wonder whether she has inherited her grandmother's unique gift. Is it this gift that is making her suspect that her mother's death was more than an accident, or is it just an overactive imagination? Staying in Lily Dale is the only way to uncover the truth. But will Calla be able to deal with what she learns about her mother's past and her own future?

Article About Books Awakening (Lily Dale #1)

picked this up at work to see if i should get the second two in the series. the main character is so bland i could hardly even identify her as a teenager. yawn yawn yawn.

This book was so boring and weird that I just had to stop reading it. Enough said.

I picked this book up because I live about an hour from Lily Dale and visit it as often as possible. Staub definitely captures Lily Dale as I know and love it. It's such a quaint town as if you literally stepped back into the 1800's. Its not spooky or eerie there, but you can feel the energy of spirits.This story is wonderful. At first I was a little put off by the narrative, I found the 3rd person narrative she uses to be a bit odd...but that's nothing that would detract from the story at all.

I enjoyed this young adult paranormal and look forward to the following stories in the series. I found the characters interesting, though since they lived in a psychic community where ghosts were aplenty, I found myself in a bit of Sixth Sense mode in that I wondered if the main character was talking with dead people all the time. That took away from the story a bit, but that was my fault to get that preconceived idea. Interesting setting for the story, too. Apparently based on a real community

When I first started to read this book I found the tense used in the book to be difficult to concentrate on and I mentally corrected every sentence in my mind. But then I became accustomed to it and got intrigued by the story line. Psychic stories always intrigue me and Lily Dale is a real place in upstate New York- a center for spiritualism. The story involves Calla, a teenage girl whose mother dies in a freak accident that leaves Calla wondering how it could ever have happened. Then she goes

i really tried to read this. i wanted to enjoy it since i like paranormal stories. but i found this so boring that every time i put it down, it took effort to read more later. finally i gave up. it was as if the main character was downright stupid. it took her forever to figure things out, to the point that i wanted to scream at her, "your grandmother is psychic, you dope!"

Very interesting to read about Lily Dale--a real place, unlike, let's say, Forks, WA. Speaking of Forks, here there also is a passive heroine, Calla (close enough to Bella), with two allegedly hot and enigmatic guys of interest. One is even Native American. The other could totally be a vampire. He's very rich and drives a BMW. (Didn't Edward drive a convertible?)The book didn't feel like a cliffhanger, it just felt unfinished. I have to remind myself I'm on a different book now, that this one
