Genetic modification has been outlawed. The remaining altereds want revenge...

When Silver’s mother is abducted by a rogue scientist who releases a deadly new virus on the populace, she and her now unadjusted friends are faced with an impossible choice.

They can hide from the virus for as long as possible, or they can regain their abilities and take the battle to the mountains. But Silver doesn’t count on a new, rogue power growing within her. She can’t control it and soon all her friends are in danger. And there is something evil hiding in the snowy Sierras.

When Silver meets a young boy with visions of the future, sinister visions that spell doom for the entire group, she is terrified of losing another person she loves, especially Matt. Of hurting him with a new ability she never asked for.

Can Silver learn to control her new, deadly power in time to rescue her mother as well as defeat the one who seeks to destroy them all?

If you're a fan of The Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner, Pretties, 5th wave, The Gone series, you'll love The Rise of the Altereds by award-winning author Marisa Noelle.

5.0 out of 5 stars very well written, intense and emotional
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2020
The Rise of the Altereds by Marisa Noelle is the 2nd book in her The Unadjusteds trilogy. When I read the first book, I wasn’t sure that there would be more, and I was happy to find out that this is now a trilogy. Refresher: The Unajusteds is a YA Dystopian story, with Silver Melody, our wonderful teenage heroine. Silver is very strong, fast and has abilities that make her special. In a world with most people having been altered with enhancements, Silver was one of those that were unadjusted. At the end of the last book, Silver and her friends defeated the President and freed those altered and unadjusted.

In The Rise of the Altereds, Silver’s father is working on a vaccine to fix those altered back to normal. Silver, Matt, Paige, and the team is still together, but another evil presence has taken over the role of leader (Earl) using a virus that is killing everyone, as well as creating evil entities and creatures to destroy the world as they know it. Silver’s mother is still in captivity, and they all get together to try and rescue her mother. Silver’s father is able to give them back their altered abilities to help fight the horrors they will face. Silver is the most powerful of all of them, especially with an unknown dark ability that she has not learned how to use. Along the way, Silver will pick up some more abilities just by touching someone, which includes seeing into the future.

What follows is an exciting and intense adventure that once again pits Silver and her friends against so many dangerous situations, including making sure they do not catch the virus, as well as the creatures, birds, hellhounds they come across. From start to finish, this was filled with action, danger, violence, as I held my breath to see who will survive. To tell too much more would be spoilers, and ruin it for you.

The Rise of the Altereds was a very well written, intense and emotional story line that held my attention throughout. Marisa Noelle did a fabulous job giving us an exciting story, wonderful heroine and great secondary characters. The ending was exciting, wild and emotional. I loved Silver, as she made a great heroine. I look forward to the final book in this trilogy. I wholly suggest if you like an action-packed dystopian theme, you should be reading this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fantasy novel
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020
‘Rise of the Altereds’ is the second story in the Unadjusteds series by British-based author, Marisa Noelle. The story is set in a futuristic USA, with the book being written in a mixture of American and British English. We reconnect with Silver and see the action from her perspective, in the first person and the present tense. She is now helping her father in his endeavour to find a cure for a deadly virus which has been unleashed by the evil scientist, Earl Landry, and threatens to destroy or alter the population. Along with trying to find a vaccine in double quick time (sounds familiar) there is also the added problem of Silver’s mother being held captive by Earl, who was a contemporary of both Silver’s parents during their student days. So as well as crushing what’s left of America, good old fashioned jealousy also plays a part in Earl’s strategy.

Those who were modified during the reign of the wicked President Bear, have now had their enhancements removed. Silver’s father struggles with the ethical dilemma of having to decide if those who wish to join the fight against Earl should have their special abilities reinstated. At the same time, Silver has a dilemma of her own. Since the slaying of President Bear, she has developed some disturbing emotion-driven dark powers which she cannot control. Her gentle romance with Matt is continuing but will his naïve younger sister help or hinder the team in their mission? Silver’s friend, Paige, also has a development of her own which has implications for the future. So the scene is set for the renewed fight of good versus evil.

It’s always difficult when the bar has been set high, to achieve the same standard with a follow up novel. Nonetheless overall, I think the author has achieved this. Several of the characters have made the crossing from the first to the second book and I think a bit more backstory for fans who read the first story over a year ago, would have been helpful to remember who was who. The structure is simple and the plot straightforward. For the first half of the book, I didn’t think it had quite the same wow factor but it’s worth sticking with it because once Silver and team meet up with a group of survivors, the pace picks up and the story flows nicely.

My biggest reservation relates to the life most of us currently live. We are in the grips of a global pandemic; therefore is this a little bit too close to home for those readers who want escapism, rather than a reminder of our current plight, albeit Earl’s virus is significantly more deadly than ours? I award four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Read
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020
There is still a threat out there, and it comes in the form of Earl. He’s determined to destroy as many people in his way as possible. They need to find him and take him down for the good of everyone. If Silver’s father can give them back their abilities, they might stand a chance. But it will not be an easy road. It’s not safe out there, and with Silver’s new power, she might hurt the others before they even get a chance to fight Earl.

Silver is feeling unsure of herself and her dark power. She’s feeling guilty because she doesn’t have it under control, and she’s scared she’s going to hurt others. It doesn’t matter that others are supporting her. She doesn’t have faith in herself, so she doesn’t believe it. But they all have a job to do, so she needs to get things under control, and fast.

The thing I love about this one is that there are so many exciting elements Noelle has put into the story. There’s the dystopian aspect, but then we have Silver and Matt’s relationship adding a touch of romance, and it’s a thriller because you find yourself racing through pages, cheering on the crew in their quest to take down Earl. It’s all very exciting, and it made the book impossible to put down. This was such a fun read, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
