Rise blew my freaking mind. THANK YOU, INDIE BOOK CONNECT, FOR INCLUDING THIS IN MY BOX!!! I know that Rise is being considered for a TV series and if that happens, I will never ever leave my TV. This book was that good!
Alexia is the MC for Rise and she is immediately engaging. To give you an idea of what Rise is like, picture a book where the absolute best parts of Divergent, Hunger Games, and Twilight come together and make a book baby with the absolutely genius that is Luis Almonte. The class ...more

Witches, vampires, and more! You really can't go wrong with this one. It's fun and adventure from the beginning. Every time we thought we could predict what was going to happen next, Luis Almonte switched it up on us in just the right way. We loved this book and you will too!
