Charity Rising was AMAZING! The writing was entertaining, and the story was seriously addictive.This piece of the Charity Series brought the story to a whole new level.  I enjoyed the first book, but loved the second.  The romance was stronger; the action was more intense, and the suspense kept me flipping pages until the wee hours of the morning.Kinney had me back in high school and made me fall in love for the first time all over again. Charity's character really came a long way from the first book (which I adored).  She was spunkier, playful, and even though she had me shaking my head at times--which is not a bad thing--I loved her "teen" attitude.The dialogue was fresh, fun, and most of all, had me giggling or awwwing over and over. Kinney really brought the characters to life and let them grow.At times, I was laughing so hard that my stomach hurt..."It called for one egg, lightly beaten.""And how did you beat the egg, exactly?""I dropped it in the pan with the rest of the ingredients and beat the snot out of it with my hands. Was that wrong?""Including the shell?""Umm."Seriously, this brings back memories.  Needless to say, I'm not a good cook, and I can totally relate.  :)My only complaint is that Charity and Levi's story is over and I don't want it to end yet.  I hope we get to see more of them at some point in the future.Charity Rising was an amazing sequel and well worth the read.  I highly recommend this series.
