Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 8, 2014
Where I thought that book #1, Submerging Inferno, was a solid book, albeit a bit more New Adult, Rising Frenzy was anything but. This is a grown ups book.I'm not always good with series, my personality is such that I am easily bored. Even though I love paranormal writing for a book within a series to get 5 stars it has to meet the following criteria -1) Characters who I am totally, utterly and thoroughly invested in because they are going to be taking me on a journey and I need to be on board with them to keep going. I also need great secondary characters because they help stop a series from going stale -  Check2) Great world building without boring the crap out of me. I want to be in awe of where I am, contemporary or not - Check3) Once again, in order for me not to get bored easily, I need to see that the series is going somewhere really interesting - Check4) I want good, strong, passionate writing. I want to fall in love, I want to hate people, I want to be uncertain exactly what might be going to happen so I can freak out along the way - Check5) I need the books to get better as they progress. Book #1 does have to have a hook, but from there they darn well better grab me and drag me into the next book - Check6) I want them to make me forget I have people in my life who actually want to talk to me and also about 10 other ARC's sitting on my Kindle because all I can think about is getting to the end of this series because nothing else freaking matters! - CheckThere are other criteria, but these will do as The Men of Myth series meets these and then some. I now love Schwint and I still like Brett a real lot. And...Finn. They make me feel like I am a teenager wanting to see my favourite couple get together, but not sure that will happen. I currently feel like team Adrian in a grown up Vampire Academy, that kind of sucks. I love Schwint, I'm interested in Tribe Chromis - I want to know more about the mer. The flipping Vampire Cathedral, pfftt. The fairy world and moon party was beyond fabulous - I want to eat mushrooms. I love the world on land and like the world under the ocean, although I can't see myself lasting there. Yes, I picture that.I love Finn de Morisco (every time he is on page I am gone, yes, I know he is a fictional character), and his lovely family, and I am in love with Lelas as well.I want to know what the heck is going to happen next!!
