Goodreads Synopsis:

In Pittacus Lore’s The Rise of Nine, third in the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series, the stakes are higher than ever as John, Six, and Seven try desperately to find the rest of the Garde before it’s too late.

The Mogadorians who destroyed the planet Lorien continue to hunt down the Garde, the small group of Loric survivors who have taken refuge on Earth. The Garde must come together. They are Lorien and Earth’s only hope.

During the dangerous mission at the Mogadorian base in West Virginia, John found and rescued Nine. But even with their combined powers, special abilities known as Legacies, the pair barely escaped with their lives—and they lost Sam in the process.

In order to save our world and their own, John and Nine must join forces with Six and Seven who have been battling the Mogadorians in Spain, and who are now trying to locate Number Eight in India.

Power in numbers will save us all.

My Review:

1. I want four to ditch Sarah (she's an annoyingly stupid brat!) and go with Six. Or not go with any girl, he doesn't really need the drama right now.

2. I want Sam to be safe. He is such a cute and funny character.

3. I kind of hate Seven and think she should just stop talking. Her character just annoys me.

4. I hope Sam's father is alright and hope they find him.

5. Mostly, I WANT MORE OF NINE!!!!!!!!

 So far, I am very pleased with this series. This book is told from three point of views, Four, Six, and Seven. It was interesting to be inside the head of three characters and get to see everything from different views. After the fight between Four and the Mogs, Four has finally gotten a chance to recover from his injuries with the help of Nine. They're in hiding, laying low and trying to figure out what the rest of their items are in their chests.

            Meanwhile, Six and Seven are with Ten and Clayton traveling to India to try and find another Lorien member; Eight. However, it is difficult to find him since he is well guarded by the police of Indian, who think Eight is one of their gods. He is hiding in the mountains and the only way to him is through a well guarded fort of officers. We also get to hear about the arrival of the Mogs Leader who is scary and dangerous. Overall, a good third book. However, the plot really didn't go anywhere.
