TLC Book Tour for "The Raising" by Laura Kasischke

The Raising by Laura Kasischke is an absolutely superb suspense thriller!


I had not read any other books by this author before, but when I read the book blurb for this book, I knew I HAD to read that book! Sometimes I think the blurbs give away too much, but in this case, I think it's perfect. So, for once, I will totally suggest that you read the book summary below if you haven't heard anything about this book before.

This story is fresh, it's unique, it's complex, and it will have your mind working long after you've finished it. The characters are real and alive. My favorite character in this story is Craig, who is pretty much a typical college Sophomore, except that he's been through some pretty traumatic life experiences. I really cannot give away much about the story itself because it would tough to tell much without giving anything away. There are so many twists and surprises in this one and you will want to be surprised as you read it!

I VERY highly recommend this book! The writing is eloquent, and the story will blow your mind! In a good way! There are twists and turns all over the place that will have you constantly guessing and trying to figure out what is really going on with this mystery. I am definitely going to be checking out some of Ms Kasischke's other books because I am officially a fan!

(For my readers who only read Christian books, this is not a Christian title and there is sex and language.)

Be sure to follow along here with all the blog tour stops.





Book Summary:


Last year Godwin Honors Hall was draped in black. The university was mourning the loss of one of its own: Nicole Werner, a blond, beautiful, straight-A sorority sister tragically killed in a car accident that left her boyfriend, who was driving, remarkably—some say suspiciously—unscathed.

Although a year has passed, as winter begins and the nights darken, obsession with Nicole and her death reignites: She was so pretty. So sweet-tempered. So innocent. Too young to die.

Unless she didn’t.

Because rumor has it that she’s back.
