Will's life has gotten even more complicated than usual: His father is the devil, his step-father is a demon, his best friend is now a demon, and he's just survived the battle of the century against the devil. Now, he just wants to hole up with Natalie and come up with a plan to take care of the Dark Lord for good. However, he has now found a group of dangerous she-demons that are harder to fight than he has ever seen.
When he runs into a mysterious girl that has the same gifts that he does, he...more

Will has defeated the dark lord once, but now he’s got even more to worry about. He’s lost his power rod, his best friend is a demon, and he’s now got Natalie and her twin sister Emily to protect.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, there is more coming Will’s way; first his mother ends up in a coma, then he finds out that unfortunately the dark lord is still alive (albeit in pie...more

Just as a disclaimer, I have not read The New Kid. This means I missed out on some of the finer details of the characters and their relationships, but this book refers to the events in the previous book enough that I have a decent idea of what happened.
The Rising is a bit entertaining but also a bit ridiculous. Will Hunter is like a teenage Bruce Wayne/Batman who made his fortune with a video game. He has a ridiculous number of different weapons. He has multiple high-end vehicles.

So......... I got to chapter 7 in this book and ummmm yeah quit reading it I just I really hoped it would capture me cause the back sounded so amazing but I had some scenes where I was drawn in and then another would make me say wth huh what is this? Idk I just didn't like it maybe when I'm super bored I may give it another shot cause I had high hopes fir this one maybe another time I won't rate it cause I haven truly read it so I'll wait then read it again and post another review when I have
The Rising by Temple Mathews is the second book in the New Kid series. Will Hunter, the son of the Devi continues his quest to kill his father. The book is action-packed with betrayals, plus twists and turns in every chapter. I enjoyed the book overall but the end could have been better, I realize he was trying to have a cliff-hanger so there could be a third book, but it could have been less dark.
This book gets really intense , it engages you to keep keep reading. I think that Will Hunter is a very strong minded character. This book involves a romantic, heavy feeling, and a shocking feeling. this book makes you have a mixed feeling that not even you can try to figure out.
Peronally I would have rated it higher if the ending hadn't made me really really sad and this guy is kindof a jerk throughout the whole thing, but she kinof needs to back off two.
This book is about a character named Will, who is half demon half human because his father is the Dark Lord! (It means the devil). In this book Will fights to save human kind and his girlfriend Natalie by the Dark Lord's teen demons. Then he discovers a new brand of demons who are even deadlier than the teen demons...
If you like books with action, adventure,and romance. This is the book for you. Also if you want you should read the New Kid series.

This is the second book in a trilogy. Some of the boring stuff in this book sets up the final installment, but like in the first book, it reads more like notes for actors than a book. Emotions are fake and reactions are unrealistic. Because of the way the book is written, you think you're reading events that happen over weeks, but if you pay attention, this whole books spans about a week.
WOW could'nt put the book down... Will is awesome and I can't believe Natalie... Starting the third book and last on this series.
I loved this book it was such a good read i dnt put it down:)
