allyexa 's review for:

Burn Down, Rise Up by Vincent Tirado
3.0
adventurous sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

The plot intrigued me, and the pages turned fast. I liked the idea of turning a local history into a horror story with a righteous ending.

But the book was kind of a confusing flurry. It often read like I was just watching someone else play a video game. The world building just kind of improvised as it went along, and though I liked the characters, I never really got to know anyone besides the main character Raquel. 

This would be great as a video game.
