Solaria Ainsworth was born a Templar, destined to take up the mantle of responsibility and duty as her family’s Order had done for hundreds of years.
Except she refuses to take her Oath of Knighthood.
Barely making ends meet in Baltimore, Aria finds it difficult to obtain gainful employment with no work experience and skills in jousting and swordsmanship. Just before she’s served an eviction notice, the Mistress of the local vampire family offers her a job—to research a magical symbol. It’s an easy task for a woman who has spent every moment of her life either in armor or with her nose in ancient manuscripts. The money’s good, and the seven day deadline should be no problem.
But when her research reveals a sordid connection between the vampires and a mass murder, Aria needs to decide who is in the right and worthy of her protection. Modern Templars believe only God should judge, but Aria must do exactly that or watch the Baltimore streets run red with blood.

Awesome, fast-paced series starter with Templar Knights, magic, and vamps.
By meigan
Whenever I got word that Debra Dunbar was writing an entirely new series outside of the Imp world, I knew that whatever it was, it would knock my socks off. Dunbar has a way with words, pardon the pun, and the characters she creates are always multi-dimensional, tough but not infallibly so, and the worlds she creates for these characters to inhabit are subtle, yet just as rich as the characters. Aside from all of the above, the biggest draw for me was the fact that this new series would have a Templar as the main character. Yes, you heard right: a mere human. Albeit a human with some magic, but human nonetheless.
In Dead Rising, readers are introduced to Solaria Angelique Ainsworth, a woman descended from centuries of Templar Knights. Up until this point, all of her family members, past and present, have accepted their fate and taken the Oath and its responsibilities without question. The sole exception being Aria herself. Unable to dedicate herself to knighthood for fear of losing who she is, she relocates to Baltimore in hopes of separating herself from her mother's constant Oath nagging, and making a life that's purely her own. Her need to have her own identity is strong, and as such, she's the black sheep of the Ainsworth clan.
Even without taking the Oath, Aria's need to protect and her need to guide the "Pilgrim's on the Path" is just as strong as her need to be recognized as a person and not just a Knight. There's quite a lot of internal struggling within Aria, and it will be interesting to see if she ever succumbs to both her family and the small part inside of her that sees the benefits of becoming a true Templar Knight.
Aside from Templars, Dead Rising also centers around vampires. The Knights and the vampires have a very uneasy truce that dates back centuries; a truce that must be navigated with trepidation. Dunbar's vampires, at their cores, are the monsters we expect when we hear "vampire". Although there are a few sexy ones thrown in for good measure (Hello, Dario :) ). Aria finds herself embroiled in vampire politics, much to her dismay, after being approached by said sexy vampire to decode a strange symbol that's been popping up in various places. With a whole lot of reluctance, Aria works side by side with the unpredictable clan in hopes of preventing death and destruction that ties back to a murder dating 40 years ago.
Dead Rising, in my estimation, is Dunbar's most ambitious urban fantasy to date. There aren't many mainstream UF series that center around Templars, and that element is really what made this story stand out for me. It also has the trademark humor and wit that I expect whenever I read anything by Debra, yet the feel and the tone is definitely more mature than her other series. Not that I'm comparing the two, mind you. Apples and oranges. There's a hint of romance, one that's fraught with danger, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how that's going to play out in the future.
Bottom line -- fantastic, fast-paced series starter with murder, magic, vampires, and a whole lot of action. I absolutely recommend Dead Rising and can only hope it's going to be another long-running series. Fingers crossed that it is :)
**Many thanks to the author for providing a copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Couldn't put it down!
By Kida
I'm a huge fan of Debra Dunbar's writing. I fell in love with her Imp series and have enjoyed everything of hers that I've read so far. I'm happy to say that this book did not disappoint! I'm going to skip the summary, since several others have already done a great job at giving you a general overlook of the book. But I will say that I truly enjoyed this novel, and I'm very glad I'd set aside half the day to read it (took about 5-6 hours, so not a terribly long book) because I couldn't put it down. It's a little different writing style than her other books, but I think any true fan of fantasy or paranormal will enjoy it. You can tell that this is the first of a series, as there is a lot of world building and character introduction, and I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone better. It's told from the main character's pov, Aria, who is a Templar. I don't know much about Templars, so it was fun getting to know a bit about them. There def are some moral issues brought up that I found to be pretty interesting, and I'm interested to see how those issues play out in the series. I also really liked the main male lead, Dario. He is very complicated, and is not all "good", which I actually like, since I think it's more realistic. There is definitely some sexual tension between the main girl and him, and I'm reeeeeally hoping we'll see something sexy and juicy from them down the road lol. For those that don't like that sort of thing, however, just know that their aren't any love scenes in this book. I didn't see too much cursing either, but, to be honest, I don't always notice cursing. There are some proofing errors that kinda jarred me for a moment when I came across them, but all in all they didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the book. The story is interesting and well done, with like able (or at least understood) "bad guys", and interesting main characters. I'm really looking forward to many more in this series, and am bummed the next one isn't out for 2 more months lol. If it was out right now then I guarantee I'd be reading it and likely staying up all night to finish it lol! All in all, another wonderful book DD! Looking forward to (hopefully!) many more books about Aria to come!

Amazing & officially on my auto-buy list
By Libros Libros y mas Libros
A quick historical reminder:
The Knights Templar is a religious order that can trace their origins to the First Crusades. They are essentially an elite force with two centuries worth of bloody history. I only mention this because the heroine in this story & her family have been & continue to be Knights Templar. Therefore the history is touched on throughout the story.
Cover Art:
I like it, the model looks fierce. =)
Location:
Baltimore, Maryland USA
World:
Contemporary time frame
Paranormals & magic exist but it is not public knowledge. Think Dragons, Vampires, Witches etc.
POV:
1st person (Solaria)
Characters:
Solaria "Aria" Ainsworth: Aria relocated to Baltimore after bucking a long standing family tradition. Aria comes from a long line of Templar knights (Knights Templar). She was born to be a knight, however Aria refuses to take the oath. As a result she's a highly trained solider with a history major (specialty middle ages/religious studies) with no job experience & limited social skills...working as a barista.
Dario: Dario is second in command (what amounts to lieutenant) in the Baltimore vampire clan.
Plot:
The Mistress of the local vampire balaj (clan) Leonora request the gift of knowledge (investigate) from Aria. Not everything goes as planned for any of the parties involved being Aria is not a sworn knight, as such her behavior is not limited by The knight's responsibilities or oaths.
Romance:
None.
Dario & Aria have an ongoing "flirtatious" acquaintance. Well, what one may see as provocative advances another may think of as harassment.
Overall Thoughts:
No editing issues. The writing felt more mature than her imp series. The pacing was quick & action filled. I immediately became immersed in the world, plot & characters. I devoured this book in one sitting. The story wrapped up nicely, no cliffhangers or loose threads.
Favorite part of this book:
Aria's character in particular had amazing depth. IMO the templar knight's history along with Aria's facetious humor helped make her multidimensional. Dario & Aria's dialogue was also really entertaining.
Rating:
5 stars
I'm intrigued & would definitely recommend this book to any UF readers.
