The Stars Never Rise by Rachel Vincent
5.0
I was excited to start this book for two reasons. Rachel Vincent is the author, and it sounded insane. In the best ways.
Nina is just a regular girl living in a more or less, post-apocalyptic world. She is faced with looming graduation and taking care of her younger sister because their deadbeat mom can't be trusted enough to do so. Until crap hits the fan, and degenerates, possessed people, start following her and she finds out some buried secrets about her family, her society, and herself. Dangerous secrets. That make the plot if the story. And of which I can't say because then you will know the end.
I have to say I had high standards for this book, and not once was I let down. This book met, and exceeded, the bar I set for it. I couldn't put it down! Each page had a new twist and turn. This book was filled with great writing, action, emotions, angst, suspense. I couldn't keep up! In a good way. This was just such a great, fast read. The characters were awesome. Well-written. and they were so likeable and believable. Their motivations and actions were just well-done. The setting was incredible, so believable, and everything was so well described I could see it all and was so on the edge of my seat the entire time, I was addicted. Vincent has done it again. Of you are a vincent fan, or like this kind of YA genre, this is a must-read! Overall this was an absolutely amazing book, and I cannot wait one minute to read the next! I am already dying of anticipation!
