Wake Unto Me by Lisa Cach

A haunted castle, a handsome young man dead for four hundred years, one heck of a scary portrait of a witch, and a treasure hunt -- not to mention a princess for a roommate! -- all await 15 year old American girl Caitlyn Monahan when she earns a scholarship to a French boarding school.

There are secrets behind the stone walls of Chateau de la Fortune, buried for centuries along with the mystery of who killed Raphael, the charming ghost who visits Caitlyn at night. But as Caitlyn unearths the history of the castle, nothing scares her as badly as the secret she learns about herself, and the reason she was chosen to come to the Fortune School. And nothing breaks her heart as badly as falling in love with a dead guy.


Wake Unto Me is a book that isn't easy to give justice to. It's by far one of the most mysterious books I've read, with an utterly beautiful element of historic romance.

It's an original storyline and so epically researched that you could probably close your eyes and think you're sat in the same room as the characters. The mystery element whilst dropping VERY SUBTLE hints along the way is one that you don't thoroughly understand until the very end, which by then, you're sitting on the edge of your seat, desperately trying to figure everything out!

By the last few chapters, I was tearing up every other page just at the sheer emotions that Caitlyn is experiencing. Cach seriously knows how to keep her readers on their toes, and if you think you can get through the book without falling in love with Raphael, you're so wrong!
Honestly you will not be disappointed by this book!
Rating: 5/5
