A review by thekindlyheart
Analiese Rising by Brenda Drake

4.0

“Analiese Rising” is a YA fantasy romance thriller by Brenda Drake who gave us the Library Jumper series. This book has literally everything in it. From mystery and mythology to romance and tragedy.

Analiese lost her parents when she was little and got adopted by her uncle. Now she lives with her cousin Dalton and his mother. After a series of weird events she witnesses an old man dying and as his last wish goes to deliver his bag to his grandson. Everything is made even more weird when she finds a list in the bag with her family and her name is it. While delivering the bag she meets Marek in his glory of lose curls and beautiful smile.

Then begins their adventure to find the clues Marek’s gramps left behind, discovering more secrets while making new friends and enemies along the way. Also discovering secret powers.

Though the progress was a little fast for my taste, I overall liked it. This book brought all of the mythological gods and goddesses together.
I’m obsessed with mythological and supernatural creatures. This made me look at the gods and goddesses on a very different perspective after the Rick Riordan books.
