I'm really excited to be on the Blog Tour for Analiese Rising by Brenda Drake. As soon as I read the synopsis, I was excited to read it. Thanks so much to Entangled Teen, Brenda Drake, and YA Bound Book Tours for letting me be a part of this fun tour. I received an e-arc for honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Title: Analiese Rising
Author: Brenda Drake
Published by: Entangled Teen
Released: January 8, 2019
Synopsis: When
a stranger gives Analiese Jordan a list of names before he dies, the
last thing she expects to see is her own on it. Not. Cool. Her search
for answers leads to the man’s grandson, Marek, who has dangerous
secrets of his own. Both are determined to unlock the mystery of the
list.
But the truth is deadly. Analiese is a descendant of the God of Death, known as a Riser, with the power to raise the dead and control them. Finding out she has hidden powers? Cool. Finding out she turns corpses into killers? No, thank you.
Now
the trail plants her and Marek in the middle of a war between gods
who apparently want to raise an army of the Risen, and Analiese must
figure out how to save the world—from herself.
My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this story! I loved the subject matter, the action, the romance, pretty much all of it. It was a lot of fun to read and that's all I really want from a book. If it entertains me, it's a winner, and Analiese Rising is a winner!
I loved learning with Analiese all about the Risers, what they do and where they come from. I love having reads with powers and obscure mythologies, so this was a lot of fun.
I liked the romance. I thought they were cute together and they made a great team dealing with the situations they were put in.
This was just an entertaining, fun read and I enjoyed it. The ending left me a little wanting, so I hope that maybe this story will continue on in some way.
I really enjoyed Analiese Rising and I'd definitely recommend it. It has an awesome cover, an interesting premise, and a fun adventure. Give this one a read.
Meet the Author
Brenda
Drake grew up the youngest of three children, an Air Force brat, and
the continual new kid at school. Her fondest memories growing up is
of her eccentric, Irish grandmother's animated tales, which gave her
a strong love for storytelling. With kids of all ages populating
Brenda's world, it was only fitting that she would choose to write
stories with a bend toward the fantastical for both younger readers
and the young at heart. And because she married her prince charming,
there's always a romance warming the pages. Her favorite books are
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, Kings Row by Henry Bellamann, and Anna
and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. When she's not writing, she
hosts workshops and contests for writers such as Pitch Wars and Pitch
Madness on her blog, and holds Twitter pitch parties on the hashtag,
#PitMad. In her free time, Brenda enjoys hanging out with her family,
haunting libraries, bookstores, and coffee shops, or just reading
someplace quiet and not at all exotic (much to her disappointment).
