I recently read Evermore for the first time and I loved Riley. She was interesting and you could really tell that she cared about Ever but that she was totally capable of being the annoying younger sister. So when I found out that Riley was coming out with her own series, of course I had to pick it up!

I don't want to mislead you with my rating. I didn't rate it a 2 out of 5 because it sucked. It didn't suck. I just don't feel that it was something that really fit my interests and I don't think I'll be re-reading it any time soon. With that said, I am curious to know what Riley's next adventure is but I won't be rushing to find out what it is like I did with this one.

In Radiance, Riley is still interesting. She still has an attitude and she still has that spunk she had in Evermore, but I think the reason why I liked her so much in Evermore was because of her relationship with Ever. Being the nosey, annoying, caring younger sister. If you take out Ever... you just have Riley, who's scared and confused and is just trying to understand her place in the afterlife.

I found Riley's task to be a little... unbelievable. She pretty much breezed through it. I was really intrigued by Bodhi's task more than I was with Riley's. It also baffled me how close both of their tasks were to each other and had no idea. I guess that's one of the upsides to not knowing what happens in the afterlife, all the different things people come up with! I kinda liked Bodhi, he seemed like an interesting person. Kinda wish I knew more about him. I thought it was cute that Riley got to keep Buttercup, I think he's helping her cope with her afterlife... life. Wow, that sounded weird lol.

I probably should also add that while this is under young adult, it felt more like a middle grade read than a young adult one! If you were a fan of Riley in Evermore, do I do suggest reading this, if you have any interest in what Riley is up to after she had to leave Ever behind.

when i picked up radiance i thought i was going to be lost because its a spin-off of the immortals series so i didn't know what to think. but when i did finally pick up the book boy was i glad when i did, i was sucked into the book i loved it so much i love Riley she is so funny and i love her dog buttercup and i thought bodhi he was funny when the story need the humor it was a cute short read and really enjoyable i hope you enjoy the book.
So far I have read just the 1st book, but they are quick 1 day reads. This seiies thake a looke into Riley's adventures in her afterlife, the here and now. Riley is the little sister of Ever who was in the Imortal books, that would vist her often after her whole family died.
The author still carries descriptive wording that makes you live in the story... onto the next now.
This is a novel that my daughter bought for my 9 year old granddaughter and I wanted to know what she is reading. I am not sure if
she is mature enough to read this, although she lost he grandfather and her uncle.
I read the Immortal series and I love it!!! When I found out that this was supposed to be the little sister, I was all too eager to check it out. Shortly I found out that this has absolutely nothing to do with Riley's visits with her sister nor did it have anything to do with the visits she made with Ava. =( At times she will mention her sister Ever but, overall it had nothing in common with the story I had come to love. With that said I was a little discouraged in the story but, after having started the book I had to see it through to the end. Once I had decided to detach my feelings and stop looking for unanswered questions from the previous series, and started appreciating the book from a new point of view...I found that this was a wonderful series!
Being a Fan of Alyson Noel I decided to pick up and read her new series about Riley Bloom. Unsure of what to expect I just dove in and read. I found that although the book is mean for Grades 5-8, that any reader being that a teen or adult will find it interesting.

The author starts off by explaining what Riley is experiencing after she had crossed the bridge to meet her parents and dog. From there the author takes you on a journey of discovery. Allowing you as the reader to see what the heavens look and feel like from Riley's point of view.

Not wanting to say much more because there is many more twists and turns in the book I would recommend it for teens and adults. I think that although it is not a super long book the material is well written and worth reading.
I have not read The Immortals series by the author, which is about Riley's older sister, Ever, so I walked into this series with a clean slate. It took me some time to warm up to Riley, and I'm not sure I ever did. She is a young protagonist (age 12) and therefore, her maturity level shines bright. I read a ton of YA and some Middle Grade books, so I'm very used to young protagonist. However, Riley's whiney, tween-like behavior was a lot to take in. Reading the story from her POV became an uphill battle on many occasion. I think Riley as the narrator is what really did me in and I couldn't really enjoy the story as much as I may have otherwise. It was also a short, quick read and since I've not read The Immortals series, I did not have time to get to know Riley.

That being said, the story had some merit. I find Riley's new otherworldly job as a Soul Catcher very interesting. To me, she is a therapists of sorts, as she provides much needed counseling to these spirits that are stuck in Limbo. Riley's first case was quite difficult. However, she shows courage and perseverance (and possibly stubbornness) throughout her trials and tribulations.

I adored Buttercup, Riley's yellow lab. I was happy that Riley had a companion in the Here & Now. There is a scene where he learns to use one of his newly attained abilities as a spirit, and I smile through it all. It was an adorable moment. There was also a very interesting scene with a dead mother who was literally stuck in her own personal hell, full of grief and despair. Riley was sucked into the world through her eyes and it was quite eerie and heartbreaking.

All in all, I think this book is a great paranormal starter for younger kids!
