“As a little girl, Daisy Appleby was killed in a school bus crash. Moments after the accident, she was brought back to life.

A secret government agency has developed a drug called Revive that can bring people back from the dead, and Daisy Appleby, a test subject, has been Revived five times in fifteen years. Daisy takes extraordinary risks, knowing that she can beat death, but each new death also means a new name, a new city, and a new life. When she meets Matt McKean, Daisy begins to question the moral implications of Revive, and as she discovers the agency’s true goals, she realizes she’s at the center of something much larger—and more sinister—than she ever imagined.”

Engrossing from page one, Daisy got my attention. I love how the author mixed conspiracy, God-like abilities and secrets to engage the reader into a whole other world!
Revived captured me with the sense of mystery. With a banging opening, it kick off with conspiracy all the way. I love following clues and getting to know the character Daisy. Each time more tidbits were dropped about the revival program, what it can, I soak it up like a sponge.
The love interest is great cause with this love interest is the downfall of the character. Daisy is sworn to secracy, but teh first person she falls in love with, secrets spilled. NOOOOOOO! It did add major drama amd much more intenseifying moments.
 The ending of the book is great. Torn between betrayal and the one she loves, Daisy is in for a whole new slew of troubles heading her way. The fight may be over, but the war is just beginning.
Revived pushes the reader to the edge of their seat. With chapters full of action, secrets, and a God who is unknown, the reader is enticed. Revived is riveting and compelling.
I give it 4 BITES!
Happy Reading!

    I enjoyed this one as well. I still think that some of the medical stuff was a bit “out there” but that is the point of the book! Took that imagination to the limit. I liked that.
