‘Risen’
is a single POV, clean YA paranormal novel about a long-standing war between
three clans of vampires, and the humans who become entangled in it. We meet18-year-old Charlie just as her boring
and simple life of living secluded in a cabin gets disrupted. Turns out, her Aunt Rachel isn’t a hermit by
choice. When two vampires take her Aunt
by force, and leave a third vampire behind to deal with her, Charlie fears for
her Aunt and missing dog. But she’s a
strong and spunky young heroine; her fear never cripples her or her amusing, sarcastic,
out-of-control mouth.
At first
Sebastian, the vampire remaining at the house with her, seems to have his own
agenda, but he and Charlie form an uneasy truce and agree to work
together. He promises to guide her to a
vampire clan who can help her rescue her Aunt in exchange for help with a
personal matter that only Charlie can provide.
‘Risen’
is a rare gem in the YA vampire novel market; it includes character
development! Human and vampire character
development. This was a rather nice
surprise.
I
recommend this book for all YA readers who enjoy vampire books. The rare moments of romance would be rated ‘E’
for everyone, and vampire fans, young and old, would enjoy this story.
I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no
