Awakening

Pepper Pace’s latest novel reads like a fairy tale in a world hidden from the eyes of modern society. But this is an all-too real world where black Appalachians use roots to heal the sick and a curse or ‘the evil eye’ can doom a person.
And now their all-black society, built on colorism, mysticism, and ignorance, has been infiltrated by a white man and all of the mysteries and secrets surrounding them as well as him are soon to be discovered. Warning: Graphic sex, graphic language, racist language, racist actions. This book is for adult readers only.

Rated '4/5 - Explicit open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
