[SPOILERS]This book. THIS BOOK. I finished reading it at 11pm and my first instinct was to put my shoes on and take it across the street to the library drop box (yes I live across the street from the library, envy me), because this book! I had to get it out of my house immediately.Okay, so, last yea...
This book was a lot different than I was expecting. I thought I was getting a ghost story, but instead I got an intriguing mystery with conspiracies and some ghost story elements. The Raising was a pretty good book. The year before, Nicole Werner was killed in an accident, but now people are sti...
Alright, it scared me how much I enjoyed this book. Not because it was necessarily it was a gripping storyline, but because I found it so light, I could whip through it and still be somewhat entertained.

I'm out of my reviewing comfort zone again. The Raising is Not My Thing. I'm a genre person, obviously, so fancy books that fall under the heading of plain old "literature" have the potential to go over my head. And maybe that's what happened with The Raising.

However, this book pushed all the right buttons for me. I didn’t even mind the ending which was not what I expected. It is a very fast moving book ...
The book is just over 400 pages long, but that didn't stop me from blazing through the pages. I simply didn't want to put it down! This provocative little number is full of mystery that lurks just out of sight around a dark corner. Kasischke had me guessing the entire time. I longed for certain...
I was excited for this one, but sadly, it didn't live up to expectations in my opinion.It started off strong, with a very compelling prologue. For me, it went downhill after that. It seemed to get mired in the details of everyone's lives, and while I could see how it might be relevant down the road,...
