A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer
3.0

The writing here was excellent as always, and I really liked the supernatural aspects--something new for this author, I believe--but it didn't quite gel for me. I thought the plot was decently interesting, but I had a hard time really connecting to the main characters and the romance. I found the secrecy around Alain's first love to be a little annoying, and while I understood why it was necessary, the big reveal actually left me feeling kind of conflicted and left me slightly less satisfied with the ending.
