Kasischke has written a paranormal mystery that will keep you guessing even after the last page. Beautiful, sweet, smart, Nicole Werner was killed in a tragic automobile accident, or was she. This is the central situation of The Raising. The impact of Nicole’s death on her boyfriend Craig, who was driving; her childhood friend, Perry; Shelly, who was first on the scene; and Mira, a professor is the focus of the novel. Nicole’s sorority sisters are always a sinister presence interacting with the four main characters. This gothic mystery examines how we handle death, as a society, a community, and an individual.
Some rather graphic sex scenes, including lesbian sex, make this novel appropriate only for mature readers in the school library. However, adult readers who enjoy mystery and suspense with a twist of the supernatural will enjoy this novel.
