I really enjoyed reading As the Fallen Rise by Sadie Hewitt. I was instantly enthralled with the story and the characters. A young woman, Greer Myers, is an anthropologist who studies  folklore and Mythology among other things. She's soon thrusted into the world of mythical creatures and magic once she finds out she's the next mage, from her ancestral line. Once her magic is felt, daemons start to hunt her. Now with the help of a strange man and a grimoire he gives her, she starts trying to learn about her past as well as figure out how to use magic. Will she be able to figure it all out before someone plans her downfall. 

This book was great from beginning to end. I love paranormal fantasy books and this book has it all from lore, magic and all kinds of daemons. I also loved the backstory of how the daemons came to be. I also loved the main character, Greer. She is smart and independent but isn't prepared for what her future holds now that she knows the truth and her life seems to be imploding. I think this book will captivate readers who love the paranormal. I couldn't put this book down till the end. I highly recommend this action packed, adventurous, coming of age fantasy.
