2022 Readers' Favorite Winner for YA Urban Fantasy. Dragons attacking her school is about to be the least of her worries. Jennifer Monroe is an average eighteen-year-old girl, and she knows it. Which is precisely why no one-least of all herself-would suspect anything extraordinary from the quiet, boring girl who only has a few good friends to call her own. But that all got flipped on its head about a year ago, when two imposing men, a complete goofball, a werewolf, and two large four-legged creatures barged into her life. Now over a year later, Jen leads a double life. Mild mannered, quiet, high schooler by day; dragon slayer and raw-energy-wielding-warrior (in training) by night. Juggling SAT scores, papers, and mastering the art of flying, she's managed to keep her friends and family oblivious of her hybrid abilities and continue on track for college. Everything was going swimmingly. Until one normal, foggy, November morning, when a dragon crashed through the clouds, heralding a small army to descend on her high school. All for little, forgettable her. Faced with the responsibility of an entire high school, Jen has to rely on her minimal training and the know-how of her protectors to survive the day. But there's more going on than she realizes, and her world is about to be thrown on its head. The Rise of the Raidin is a young adult urban fantasy story filled with dragons, werewolves, teleporters, portals to other worlds, epic battles, and plenty of banter between the cast.
