Asleep by Wendy Raven McNair RAW Rating: 4.5 (out of 5) ASLEEP is a mix of sci-fi, paranormal, super heroes, and teenage angst. Adisa Summers is a fifteen year old teenage girl, who has always had an overt fascination with super heroes and not much else. Her world is tilted when an absolutely gorgeous boy, Micah, sits next to her in class and asks her to be his dance partner. For maybe the first time, Adisa is infatuated and also saddened because she's not the pretty one in the family and she knows she will not appeal to him. She is thoroughly surprised, when the 'mystery boy', who appears to be emotionally shutoff and very rarely speaks, seems to gravitate to her. What Adisa doesn’t know is that Micah's family has just moved into the house across the street from her and Micah has an agenda. His odd emotionless behavior, rigid posture, and vacant eyes are puzzling to Adisa, and the mixed messages they send have her imagining all sorts of things. They become a couple and Adisa is learning things about Micah she does not understand. An accident on her sixteenth birthday starts a domino affect that will ultimately redefine her role within her family, and her relationship with Micah. She's introduced to a life filled with a secret society, super heroes, and villains; and her entire outlook of the world changes. ASLEEP is a superhero teen love story set in modern day Atlanta. It is filled with thrills, romance, and suspense. Their relationship is developed nicely; it is at times sweet and at other times smoldering, with restrained passion. Her family adds a good backdrop for Adisa's development and they also render some shocking surprises. The pace at times was slow, but the characters, the dialogue, and the plot were very good. Overall, this is an excellent leap into a genre that never ceases to inspire dreams filled with fantasy. Ms. McNair, has thoroughly set the stage for books two and three.
