Blurb:
I closed the door on magic long ago...the day it made me an
orphan.
Ten years ago, the Coven of Fire sacrificed their lives—my
mother among them—to hold off an overwhelming demonic force. Now it's back.
As a poorly-paid bartender, how can any of this be my
problem? But Callie, another orphan of that battle, swears I'm the key to
reviving the coven. And there's an incredibly sexy guardian stranded on my
couch who's promising to help me stop the demons and keep the veil between the
realms standing.
One problem: I've never been able to use magic. Our local
bad boy warlock assures me I have the talent, but even if I did, we don't have
enough witches to complete a coven. The only way to survive is to pull together
this pack of magicborn misfits, who have more secrets than spells, into a
makeshift coven.
Can we—three untrained witches, a sarcastic warlock, and an
overly intense guardian—take back the city...before the demongate falls and the
forces that killed my mother destroy us too?

My Review:
Alix Hill lost her past a few years ago in a tragic accident.
Alix’s parents were witches but Alix herself did not inherit any of their
magical abilities unfortunately but Alix is trying to go on with her life but
it is hard especially when everyone keeps mentioning that she has magical
powers and she has to keep reminding them that unfortunately she doesn’t.
The veil between the realms has been broken and demons are
pouring through. Alix with the help of her new friends need to form a new coven
in order to seal the veil once again and make the world safe again. Alix has no
clue how she is supposed to help seal the veil and be a part of a coven when
she has no magical powers. But everyone is counting on her besides they tell
her she does have magical powers and that she is very powerful. With knowing
what these demons are capable of and what they will do to the world Alix
realizes she has no choice and must become a part of the coven and fight any way
she can.
I have to say that I have really enjoyed following along
with Alix, Callie, Liv and Matt on their journey to close the veil and stop the
demons from getting through. Alix has a very strong willed personality that I
liked a lot. But I kind of felt bad for her where Matt was concerned. I would
very much like to see Alix and Matt become an item. I think they would make a
great couple. I would very much like to see more of these misfits solving more
mysteries. I can’t wait to see more of them in the next book Ignite. I would definitely
recommend Rise to anyone who loves a good paranormal and witchy book filled
with lots of magical energy and misfits.
