This was a really good, kind of lighthearted book. Riley is just as fun as she was in The Immortals, with the added geeky charm of new friend Bodi. It was a very quick read for me, but it still kept me very interested and was fun to read. I highly recommend it to anyone, though more so to the 10-15 age group.
This book was very, very short. Very quick read. In fact I wish it was a bit longer so that we could have had a few more answers to some questions or a few more interesting events happen as well. It seemed as though you turned the page and it was gone. Also I was disappointed that Buttercup, the yellow lab, did not play more of a role in this story. From what I had read when I ordered this book, it seemed like this book should have been more about a girl and her dog going out looking for lost souls, and it was somewhat close to that but not really.
Still an interesting story, just wish it was a bit longer.

This review is going to be short and sweet, kinda like this book. Radiance, was a super quick read. I was able to fly through it in no time at all. The plot started out slow and took a little over half the book to get to the good stuff, but since the book was so short that really didn't matter much. Radiance had a sweet storyline about young Riley and her life after she moves on to the Here and Now, and how's she's trying to accept that and deal with her early death.
I liked Riley's character most of the time, although she was pretty whiny. I really liked the idea of the Here and Now. Where are we? "here", what time is it? "now". You can be anywhere you want, dressed anyway you want, with just a thought. The ending of the book was a sweet conclusion. Overall this book was just so-so for me. It may have just been a little too much for the younger age group than I prefer, but it was still enjoyable.
