I want to start by saying that I love DeAnna Kinney. She's such an awesome and sweet person and she has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I just adore her as an author and a person. I can't thank her enough for letting me read an ARC of Charity Rising because she knew how anxious I was to read it!! If you've read my review of Charity Moon then you know how much I LOVED that book. Most of the time, sequels are nice additions but in my mind never come close to the first. This was not the case with Charity Rising. Charity Rising was absolutely amazing. While I can't make myself say it was better than Charity Moon because the first one will always hold a special place in my heart, I can definitely say that it was right on the same level of amazingness.Charity Rising picked up right where Charity Moon left off and didn't lack in any of the things that made me fall in love with Charity Moon. Levi was even more adorable in this book and three times more protective of Charity ;) Charity was still her wonderfully witty self and I loved the crazy adventures her and Ashley got into this time!! There were so many twists and turns that I don't want to get into as to not give anything away, but boy oh boy did they keep you on the edge of your seat!! I liked that we got both parts to this book too. The end of part one wrapped up nicely and could have been the end, but DeAnna knows and loves her fans and so she gave us part two as well. And I thought it was a special treat that we got a few pages in Levi's point of view too. It was nice to read how he was feeling when certain things were going on. I loved that we got to see Ashely and Josh's relationship progress and I'm not going to give anything away but the ending for Raven was so sweet. Actually, the ending for everyone was so sweet. I also have to say I laughed out loud a lot while Charity was trying to cook because it reminded me so much of something that would happen if I tried to cook!! This book was just such a beautiful conclusion to Charity and Levi's story and I really hope there are more books to come for some of the other characters.Like I said, I can't thank DeAnna enough for letting me read this adorable story. I literally couldn't put this book down for even a second. I'd be reading it all day at work, in the car on the way home, during eating dinner, and then all night until I had to sleep. It was just too good to put down. Every time I was going to take a break, something else good would happen and I'd have to keep reading to see how it all turned out. This series is addicting and I'm completely okay with being an addict!! If you haven't read Charity Moon or Charity Rising, you are missing out on something truly great. This is an amazingly adorable story that you will fall in love with and hold in your heart for a very long time.
