Review: The Rising - Kelley Armstrong

 

 

Review: The Rising - Book #3 Darkness Rising Series - Kelley Armstrong - April 2013

Maya and her friends are still running for their lives after they discovered that everything they knew and had thought was true was a lie. Their whole upbringing a lie and that they were all part of an experiment to try and resurrect six extinct supernatural creatures. Now that most of their powers have come at full play, they are being hunted down to be experimented on. With most of their group being captured in Book #2 it just leaves Maya, Daniel and Corey to fend for themselves, so they run off to Vancouver to find some answers . However what they find though is something more interesting - they discover Maya's twin brother Ashton . Can Ashton help them or is he too running for his life ? Can Maya and her friends find help before it's too late or is there no hope for them of ever living a normal life again especially when circumstances change and Maya finds herself captured and taken to the compound where the rest of her friends are being held captive.  This was a good ending to the series and one of the things that near the ending surprised me was the introduction to a whole new cast of characters , these characters were new to the Darkness Rising series but if you are a big fan of Kelley Armstrong's different series - then the characters and what they can do will be very familiar to you. So , readers prepare to find yourself immersed into not only the Darkness Rising series but also her Summoning Series as we are reunited with Chloe, Liz , Derek, Simon and Kitt. Also what I loved and didn't notice before until she combined the series was that Liz and Maya have the same surname of "Delaney".

I really loved the ending of The Darkness Rising series and enjoyed how Kelley had joined both her teen series together in the end with a crossover.

If you have read The Summoning series and love Supernatural/Paranormal Teen Fiction - then check out Kelley Armstrong's The Darkness Rising Series today.
