Spirits Rising by Krista D. Ball
3.0
(Review originally posted on Alexa Loves Books)
I liked Spirits Rising – it’s a nice, linear story with a simple plot and an interesting, if stereotypical, set of characters. While I didn’t necessary love it, I did think it was an overall enjoyable and quick read.
It’s not too far out of my comfort zone to read about people who communicate with spirits - they’re a staple in paranormal YA. It’s curious that there’s no further exploration into Rachel’s abilities, apart from her fight to banish the spirits. There’s something meaty there, and I hope it gets explored further in the next book.
The story was predictable to some extent, although I was surprised a few times here and there. It actually felt more like a short story to me, than an actual novel. Spirits Rising was enjoyable however, and I’m certain that Krista D. Ball has even more of the story to share in the next installment.
