Asleep Shook Quote by Amanda Hocking
““It felt like I'd only just fallen asleep when someone shook me awake. I pushed the person off, snuggling deeper in my covers. It wasn't until I had buried my face in my pillow that I realized I should probably be alarmed that someone was in my room. What with evil trolls trying to kidnap me and all that.””
