For nineteen-year-old Ember, life has always been about death. With a simple touch, she can see when
someone will die. It’s her curse and the reason she secludes herself from the world. The only person that
knows her secret is her best friend Raven.
But that changes when she meets Asher Morgan. He’s gorgeous and mysterious and is the only person
Ember can't sense death from. The silence he instills in her mind and body allows her to feel things she’s
never been able to before, so despite her initial reservations, Ember lets Asher into her life and lets
herself to get close to him. But the closer they get, the more Ember realizes that Asher is keeping secrets
from her.
When unexplained deaths begin to surface in her town, Ember questions why she can’t see Asher's
death and what it is he’s hiding from her.
4 Star review
People don’t
understand how close death is, right over their shoulders, around the block, at
the end of a street. It’s everywhere and I’m the only one who knows where it’s
hiding. I see death every day....
Ember Edwards grew up surrounded by death, literally. By one
simple touch she can see when and how someone will die. Her curse has forced her
to lead a secluded life. So she does what any other nineteen year old girl would
do. She hangs out at the cemetery for peace of mind, writes her poetry or hangs
out with the only person who knows her secret. Raven, her best friend, her only
friend. Little does Ember know that her life is about to become a little bit
more complicated.
One night at a party Ember meets a gorgeous stranger. Her
body reacts to him in way it never has before and when he touches her she
sense’s nothing. It is a welcoming silence for her to finally be able to touch
someone without seeing their death. Asher Morgan, he is new in town and Ember is
completely wrapped up in him.
“And no one
could ever forget about you, Ember. Trust me.” His eyes sparkle with a look that
makes my skin warm, then without warning he moves closer and gently kisses the
corner of my mouth. My blood and adrenaline soar as his hands slide down my
arms, my waist and finally rest on the tops of my thighs.
When another gorgeous stranger, Cameron Logan arrives in
town. Ember can’t shake the pull she feels towards him either. He is completely
opposite of Asher but yet she can’t stop thinking about him there is also
something about him that keeps her on edge. Ember is struggling with her
feelings. She went from not being able to touch anyone to having not one but two
guys she can touch without seeing their deaths. The unexplained pull she feels
towards both of them.
The Reaper of Death, the Angel of
Life.
They walk together in day and night.
Slowly trusting herself with Asher, she begins to open up
with him and the more she does, the more secrets he seems to have. When people
start disappearing and unexplained deaths start to surface in her town. She is
not sure who she can trust and her father’s warning comes back with a
vengeance.
“Emmy, if
there’s one thing you need to know about life, it’s to never trust anyone or
anything. Life is a freaking mind game and you and I are the
pawns.”
On Halloween night the truth comes out. Cameron and Asher are
not who she thought they were. She battles herself with her feelings for both of
them. Grim reapers, angles of death, and something she has never heard of... A
Grim Angel. Faced with the harsh reality of her life she begins to understand
that it may be up to her bring back balance of collecting souls the question
what will she choose?
I enjoyed the darkness of this book and the battle between
the Angels of Death and the Grim Reapers. The Grims play dirty and will do what
they can to get rid of or at least turn the Grim angels to their side. I adored Asher, he truly cared for Ember and tried to guide
her in the right direction, although he was secretive his intentions with her
were clear. The chemistry between them was mind blowing, sexy and
HOT! Cameron was more of the gorgeous but cocky guy. It was hard
to get a read on him. One minute he was nice and the next minute it seemed he
was making things difficult for Ember. He liked to play games. He also had great
chemistry with Ember... It was definitely smoldering.
Poor Ember, imagine living your life not being able to touch
people, or be touched. No kissing, no holding hands, no hugs... nothing. So when
she meets Asher and Cameron and she is able to touch them without seeing their
deaths, it brings her peace and happiness. She is smart, beautiful and
brave.
I look forward to seeing what lies ahead for Ember and where
her decisions will lead her. If you enjoy a bit of a dark fantasy with gorgeous
Angels of Death and Grim Reapers, than this is a must read.
This book was entertaining, sexy, with the perfect amount of
romance, angst, suspense, action and creepiness.
An enjoyable and easy read.
A fantastic job by Jessica Sorensen.
