Emberglow Falls Academy: The Rising Storm

by Selena Edwards

The Rising Storm picks up where Legacy of Magic left off—and nothing will ever be the same.

Angela has barely found her footing in the fae world when everything she's built begins to fracture. Old enemies resurface, new threats close in, and the ancient secrets she's uncovered have made her more of a target than ever. The people she loves are in danger, and the power she carries may be the only thing that can save them—or destroy everything.
Darker, more dangerous, and more desperate than before, the second book of the Emberglow Falls Academy series tests every bond, every loyalty, and every limit Angela has.

Some storms can't be outrun. They have to be survived.
Due to mature themes, this book is recommended for readers 18+

I have read many books and storylines about the Fae and I can honestly say there was only ever one other author who wrote them in such a way that they came alive on the page for me to the point where I was no longer reading but watching a movie play out in my head while reading. Not many authors I have read can write in such a way to elicit such a response from me having read thousands of books with paranormal, mythical, or mystical characters in them, but this author - wow, I was completely blown away! From the excellent show don't tell throughout the book, to the background stories, to the amazing character development, to the plot twists and heart breaks that sent me on a roller coaster of emotions in the best way possible and kept me reading this book continuously without stopping - it just was not possible for me to put it down! I loved the unique school and the specific powers each student and character had, (without going into spoilers) and then the hidden location only angela could access - I truly wanted to keep living in that world and could visualize the location in my mind and how wondrous it would be to see! This author truly has a beautiful talent with worlds, characters, development, storyline, plot and in such a way that you honestly forget you are reading and your mind takes over and soon you are watching the book come to life in your mind as if you were watching a movie. I can honestly say I almost threw my kindle across the room when the book ended, I kept begging the darn thing to give me just one more page, one more story in this tantalizing world the author created. I am truly looking forward to the next book in this series and pray that one day it becomes a movie because I know I would not hesitate to see this book come to life on the big screen as it did in my head! Wow! All of my expectations were blown out of the water. Thank you so much to the author for sharing your amazing talent with the world and those of us who are avid readers!

Wow!

What a cliffhanger. I can't wait to read more about Angela and all of her men. The storyline is unique

This book tracks along until the big showdown at one of the balls. They bring all parents in on the plan to defeat the king and take back the throne. They even get the king from a nearby kingdom involved and he already knew who she was. It was a great book and I loved all the new characters and just learning more about our main ones.
