Description
San Antonio, Texas. Thirteen-year-old Cheater isn’t sure how she ended up wanted for murder. Burdened with a power she doesn’t understand, that’s triggered by a creeping darkness she can’t remember, she’s both saved and taken lives. But when she makes a vigilante move to stop a mugging, she encounters a boy who might be the key to cracking the mystery of her strange gift.
Fifteen-year-old Jaz has survived too many tragedies to stay on the right side of the law. So when his small gang’s robbery gets interrupted by a teenaged fugitive, he’s perplexed by her act of heroism. And when he discovers they’re both connected to the same mysterious fairytale, he feels drawn to her quest for answers.
But with danger lurking around every corner and the police hot on their trail, they may not even make it past the city limits…
Can Cheater and Jaz discover why Fate linked them together before they land behind bars?

Paradise Rising is a book you will either love or hate due to how the plot is constructed. The nature of the story means it' repeats parts of the plot over and over again as it moves forward. Elements of it were extremely gripping and exciting, and some parts were not. The balance felt a little off. But as the first book in a series hopefully it all becomes clear as the story unfolds more.
Sara O, Reviewer
Paradise Rising by Pg Shriver a four-star read that could use a rise of its own. I was so undecided on what to give this but I went with four, as I enjoyed it and I want to read the next one in the trilogy, but on the flip I could have DNFd this so man times, just as I was getting to the point that I was like I have read this part already I’m sure, something would happen and I would be hooked in again, and its like that all the way through, so if you can follow the story you will be okay. It could have done with some polishing and I am hoping the author will do that for book two as the premise and the characters deserve another shot.
