Publisher's Summary
"Reality is like a dream that turns into vapor the moment you try to remember.
Here one minute, gone the next.
I fight for consciousness as though drowning and gulping for air....
I'm like a passenger on a ship that was once mine, but now someone else is steering and all I can do is watch. Scream silently in my head."
Oshun has everything a young pop star could ever want - fame, fortune, and beauty to spare. But there's something dark inside of her, rising like the tide, fighting to be heard. Something that terrifies her. Because once she lets it out, she knows there's no going back.
Ember is drowning. Fighting for consciousness, struggling to make sense of the strange dreams she's been having - prophecies of murder, deception, and blackmail. But once she begins to untangle them, she realizes that they might not be dreams at all...and if she doesn't find a way to stop what she's seeing, more people will die.
Maddie is barely staying afloat. How can she be expected to care about school when her best friend Ember is still missing, presumed dead? So when Ember's brother calls and tells her about his theory about a pop star who may be involved in Ember's disappearance, she rallies him to take a road trip to check it out.
Oshun Rising is the second book in the Trinity Forest series.

5*
Oshun Rising by Jennifer Alsever is the 2nd book in the Trinity Forest Series. I fell for this series in book 1 Ember Burning and had to listen to this book, and however many more books Ms. Alsever writes. I usually do not read YA/NA but I do love the paranormal genre and the blurb sounded really good, and I was not disappointed. This is not a standalone. You do need to read or listen to this series in order to be able to follow it, and it is well worth listening to the whole series. I can't wait for the next installment in this series.
Oshun Rising is just as good if not better then Ember burning. I love when a series just keeps getting better with each book. Some series seem to have a huge start off and then the author looses steam in the subsequent books. Not with this series though. I also like the fact that there is no bad language and no sex in these books. They may be written as YA but even us adults need some clean reads now and then.
Moira Todd narrates the audiobook and does and amazing job. The feeling she puts into the narration and characters is top notch. Not only do you hear the story you also feel it.
Ember is no longer Ember she is now Oshun. After rebirthing she has become a huge Pop Star. She has everything fame, fortune, beauty and attitude. It is 3 years later after Ember Burning, but she is still 17. As she helps to spread the virus at her concerts to take over the world. Ember is just below the surface and every now and then emerges, if only for a few seconds to a few minutes, shocked and lost.
Ember's brother and best friend Maddie are still looking for her even after all this time. Maddie is not as sure that she is still out there but goes along with Jarrod more because she is in love with him then she believes they will someday find her.
When Jarrod texts Maddie and shows her a picture and video of Oshun who he is sure is really Ember the search begins. The 2 head for California to prove or disprove that Oshun is Ember.
This is a dark and super fast moving book and series. I personally cannot wait for book 3 of this series.

Jess the Audiobookworm's top 10 Recommended Audiobook Activities
- Relaxing. This isn't so much an activity as a lack of an activity, but it allows for total audio immersion.
- Roadtripping. I love a great road trip playlist, but who says it has to be all about the music? Set cruise control and hit play!
- Exercising. Nothing takes my mind off of the pain of an intense workout like an even more intense story. A high-paced action thriller will still have your heart racing long after the cardio ends.
- Beaching. Audiobook listening is the ultimate summer fun. We've been bringing books to the pool and beach with us for decades, why not upgrade? Listening frees up your hands and you won't have to worry about a book blocking your sun or some kid splashing your pages.
- Working. Why count the hours in your work day when you could be counting the hours you've knocked off of your current audiobook? Turn 8 hour work days into 8 hour listening sessions. Just check with the boss first!
- Running errands. I always have an audiobook loaded up on my phone when heading out to run errands, especially if doctor visits are involved. I actually look forward to hanging out in waiting rooms now. I've also been known to accidentally LOL while listening in such situations… #awkward
- Coloring. Coloring is the perfect mindless activity to pair with audiobook listening. It's super relaxing and the combo keeps both your mind and hands occupied.
- Sleeping. I don't personally suffer from insomnia, but I've heard that audio listening has helped those who do. Listening to a great audiobook is the perfect way to drift peacefully off to sleep. Just remember to set a sleep timer on the book before settling in!
- Reading. Studies have shown that maximum comprehension is obtained through listening and reading simultaneously. This should end of the book versus audiobook debate once and for all. They’re both winners!
- Flying. Fear over flying? Pop an audio into your ears and lie back. I recommend choosing something relaxing like a nice Nicholas Sparks-esque romance. There's no need to heighten your anxiety with an adrenaline pumping Thriller.
