Rising Calm: Review and Giveaway

On Cara Weaver's first day at her new high school—merely the next in a long line of new schools—she meets two senior boys: James Sable and Crispin Calaway. They're new too; they've been at the school just longer than she has, and they've never made an effort to reach out to anyone. Until she comes. When her friends find out, they're awed. But Cara can't shake the feeling that there's more to James and Crispin than the two are telling.

As the days go on, everything at her new home seems to be going better than it has in any of the previous cities she's lived in. She loves her friends, gets a job at a bookstore, and even starts to spend more time with Crispin and James. She's happy. But all that begins to change when she comes to realize that the two boys she’s becoming close to are hiding something. It's then that she knows her unexplainable wariness of them has been justified all along. But she keeps it a secret.

Days later, when a stranger accosts her outside a small shopping center, Crispin and James arrive just in time to help her. But they seem know the attacker. And instead of running him off, Crispin and James take Cara away, for her own protection.

With little explanation, Cara is told that she's important and that she can't go home until the boys have sorted some things out. In the meantime, Cara's world is being turned upside down as she finds out that there is more to her life than she possibly imagined.



My Review:
It was really great to read this book! I loved this world, it was a mystery, a thing to be revealed, and watching Cara entering it, step by step, though technically, she'd been born to it, was really awesome to read! I enjoyed that a lot! 

So it's kinda funny, that I was reminded by Twilight, because a girl meets a guy in science class, and they form this pretty tight connection, and then it turns out that he's paranormal. Well, in this book, she is too, so it was really great reading it!

This book was fun to read! There were the brothers, and the situations that the group got themselves into, and just reading about that, was just really great to do! I enjoyed all of that so much, though sometimes it was just a bit hard differentiating the characters!

And oh, the ending! That was a really great ending, and I can tell why it's a series, there's still some threads to deal with, and I can't wait to see how they are, because with this ending, well, things have changed, and I want to see that!

I really enjoyed this book, it was really great!

Bio:
I'm Haley Fisher, a college student in Kansas, and I've just signed a contract with a company called Silver Tongue Press to publish my first book!

For as long as I can remember I've been an avid reader and an aspiring writer, but the step toward actually getting a book published is an enormous one for me. This is a big deal. And, as I've been told, the next step to being successful is getting the word out that my book exists.

So, though it's not in print yet—it's coming out February 14th—I'd love for people to keep an eye out for Rising Calm. It'll be the first in a series of books about a young girl who finds out her life and her fate are far bigger than she ever realized. At the risk of giving too much away, the most I can tell you for now is that there is magic, prophecy, new worlds, and a cast of characters who I love to write.

I'll keep this updated as Rising Calmgets farther and farther along on the path to being published. Until then, I don't have much else to say but thanks for reading!
