Autumn's Rise by R G Corr
Reviewed by Patricia
4 stars
This is an excellent debut book by R G Corrr. The story has great depth, with Autumn, the lead character attempting to rise from the ashes of a heartrending life up to this point.
Having been neglected by her rich, socially accepted parents and then betrayed by a past love, she has fled to another town to train as a nurse and become the person she really wants to be. Her strength of character is so admired by her new friends who know nothing about her past but accept her into their circle. They all realise that Autumn is hiding some great devastating secret and so pull together to show how much they care for her.
This is a story of strength, bravery and deep, loyal friendships as well as an incredible love story that will have your heart melting. Zed, is a tough individual who speaks more with his fists than his mouth but is totally bowled over by August from their first meeting.
All secondary characters are well fleshed out making it easy to like this group of friends as if they were your own.
On the slightly negative side, hence one star subtracted, I did find the writer's style a little too 'wordy' which dragged out some scenes and lost my attention a little. Overall I did enjoy the book and as a first in a series, although a complete stand alone story, it is a great start for the writer to develop the other characters lives and relationships.
