See all formats and editions

The dead wait for Caelan.

The Goddess of Life has sent Caelan to wake her brother, the Dead God.

But crossing the reclusive country of Zastrad is even more treacherous when Caelan and his friends aren’t sure they can trust their guide.

The four friends will be tested by violence, death, political intrigue, and secrets better left in the dark.

When Caelan finally reaches the fractured godstone, he may have to give up everything to save the family he’s cobbled together.

Wake the Dead is the third book in the six-book Godstone Saga fantasy series and is not a standalone. The story contains danger, secrets, bossy gods, stolen kisses, a new king finding his way, a possessive boyfriend, magic, and lots of delicious angst.

Breathtakingly amazing

“You fight for your every last breath, and you fight so others can keep on breathing as long as possible.” Woah, woah, woah, woah, what just happened?! I love this series so hard; it’s freaking phenomenal. Cael, Drayce, Eno and Rayne, along with all the gods I alternate between loving and hating, will take you on one wild, twisty ride that you won’t be able to say no to and you’ll want to return to time and time again. So many perfectly plotted twists, so many heart-pounding moments combined with all the angst and suspense your heart can take but softened with so much love it will fill your soul to overflowing, it’s a thrilling journey that will have you begging for more. Just be careful who you send your wishes to.

Another Godstone Saga book done, another adventure had. This one has roughly the same structure as the others, but there's more emphasis on secrets and there's even more going on than we previously thought. But every step of learning that was interesting. This time, we get a view of a very different culture and there's more politicking. Rayne continues to be the best character. He's a badass. And Caelan keeps getting stronger and more mature. I love reading him growing and coming into himself. I thought I couldn’t love them more and I was wrong. I said it at the end of the last book, but I want what those two have. Drake is so good at brotherly relationships, and you can feel how much they love each other.

And it's great they're so strong because Drayce is still annoying. He had one or two really good moments where I started to like him but they weren't enough. Eno is still hit or miss for me, and he's still rather over the top in this book. But I do love his devotion and his relationship with Rayne was more convincing here.

The pacing was a little slower but the book's time was focused on secrets and world building in a way I really appreciated. And I don't think the ending is a cliffhanger; it's a hook to get you reading the next book. The whole plot does wrap up.

I really do not like cliffhanger but the story is worth it. Full of action and world building. Mysterious gods who start to show their true colors. And characters who turns out more than they seem. Can't wait for the next one but honestly would have preferred waiting and binge reading.

I didn't believe these could continue to thrill and excite with unforeseen twists and turns. Ms. Drake succeeds in continuing this saga and building upon the characters with each installment. Can't wait to grab the next book and devour it too!

The Godstone Saga continues and I LOVE IT

We go to Zastrad in book 3 and Jocelynn Drake continues to show off her world-building.
Now, I first tried reading book 3 in a slump and struggled; I gave it a go again recently with audiobook on my work commute and decided I wasn’t getting enough (HIGHLY recommend the audiobooks though) and ended up finishing the remaining 3/4 of the book in 2 days on my kindle.

We meet Vale shortly after we get to Zastrad, she’s been in the country for 5 years, with a small team, on a mission from the prince of Caspagir, immediately I wanted to trust her but something always seemed off. She’s easily one of my favorite side-characters though, despite never fully trusting her.
Cael continues to have the gods in his head mess with him and it’s taking its toll, physically and mentally.
The relationships between Cael and Drayce and Eno and Rayne continue to be 🔥
Temit is a wild place and I love the atmosphere of the city. Of course the mysterious woman makes an appearance and we find out a little more about just how dangerous she is.
The book ends in a semi-cliffhanger/bomb drop so of course I’m wasting no time in digging into book 4.

This adventure keeps getting better and better. Although there is heartbreak, betrayal, and injury, in the end the four friends battle their way to saving Thia. I wasn’t totally surprised by Drayce’s secret but I can see that there will be repercussions!

Zastrad was a very different culture to experience and I look forward to what the Isle of Stone and the Goddess of Fire has in store.

Shades of truth and betrayal

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2022

The twists, turns, and surprises take on a new dimension as our quartet fights to reach Zastrad’s broken godstone. That’s not to say that the journey isn’t tedious at times because I feel that the author got bogged down in the details for most of the book with the real meat of this story, as well as the big shocks, all landing in the last 20% or so. I’m glad I persisted reading but if I ever go back to reread the series in entirety once it’s complete, I’ll be skimming over most of this one. On a positive note, I’m pleased to see more romance sparking between the couples and it being less of a secret. Now to see what the goddess of fire has in store for Caelan.

idk how to rate this *spoilers*

This book was my least favorite so far. I struggled because I don't like it when an "ally" (Vale) you trust is actually an ass who's trying to kill you, so I skimmed a lot and wasn't even excited when Drayce and Caelan finally got some action. Also, I forgot the next book won't drop for another month, so you end on a cliffhanger finding out Drayce is a dragon. I swear, the similarities to Macy's series keep piling up. Draco? Drayce? Dragon. Sometimes when I have to wait for the next book in a series, I never finish. I've enjoyed most of the journey so far and I love reading this author's style of writing, but this might end up being a dnf series.

Wake the dead, certainly kept me awake what an epic headrush.
This series improves with each book released. It really must be read in order to appreciate the continuing saga.

Its an enchanting action packed tale from start to finish.
We meet up with the quartet at the start of their epic journey towards crossing to Zastrad to wake Nyx the Dead God, in which they face yet another harrowing adventure filled with mystery, intrigue, danger and betrayal. The adventure is again hazardous on the guys, whom feel like they are forever travelling at the whim of the gods not knowing if they are dealing with friends or foe.
Wake the Dead, let's us peel back yet another layer of the complex personalities the guys have.
Secrects are revealed with personalities that when exposed quite frankly leave us open mouthed in shock, from the guys, its utterly fabulous.
Its a rollercoaster of a thrill just to try and sit still reading it, its exciting, its happy, its sad. Its every emotion imaginable, its magnificent.
The imagination and skill in translation this series for our pleasure from the author is outstanding, the word building and storyline as always brilliant. The characters already our friends, become even more dear to us. The ending ........wow ............. roll on February
I received an ARC from GRR and this is my honest review

Absolutely love this series! ❤️

I NEED more, NOW 😁

This audio/book seems darker than the previous two books, but certainly doesn’t detract from the storyline or characters.

The world building is amazing and MC’s are brilliant as you’d expect from Jocelynn Drake.

Highly recommend! ❤️🥰

Definitely gets 5🌟 and hopefully won’t have to wait too long for the next instalment as this one is left on a dragon cliffhanger!! Arrrgh!!! 😩
