This book is a sequel to The Deadening and it is best if you have read that book first. The characters are the same and the relationships between them are still developing. Olivia Callahan, Mercy's Miracle, was assaulted and left for dead in Richmond two years ago. She awoke a different person (so she is told). She is recovering at her farm in Maryland, but she still has gaps in her memories that she is straining to recover. This book deals with her attempts to recover those memories and get to know her teenage daughters again. The book started a little slowly until it dawned on me that she was THAT Olivia Callahan. I loved The Deadening and the characters in it. so my interest picked up exponentially. Throw in a visit to her ex in prison, an unwelcome but nice new neighbor, some bombings, and a murder and you have a good book. How do these things connect to Olivia? You will have to read to find out. I received a copy of this book from Book Sirens and I thoroughly enjoyed it though perhaps not as much as the first one. It still had enough suspense and twists and turns to keep me happy.
Having awakened from a coma, trying to find out who Olivia Callahan really is and coming to the realisation of who it was that almost killed you... I highly recommend this book for any of those who love a good mystery.
For this being a second book in a series, you do not need to have read the first.
The Rising, from the beginning had me gripped. With Peresta's immersive writing, you are whisked away and right there with Olivia as the story unfolds.
The book had me guessing all the way through, throwing my suspicions at anyone and everyone!
There is enormous room for a 3rd book. I for one would love to see how Olivia's first job goes and what might unfold with that, I already have a slight suspicion - but clearly I was wrong with them throughout this book! I'll stick to my reviews and Peresta can stick to her wonderful and compelling writing.
