Ember by Jessica Sorensen!!

Ember. What can I say? I'm left speechless. Ember was such a good book. It seriously reminded me of the Vampire Kisses series by Ellen Schreiber. Except, Ember had absolutely nothing to do with vampires. 

BTW, this book has two covers. I prefer the one with the guy on it, too. ;)

Our main characters, Ember, is this goth chick who can see people's deaths by touch. It isn't an easy life for her. And I can only imagine how horrific it could be. The only person that knows about Ember's little death thing is her best and only friend, Raven. Raven is like a cheerfully social version of Ember. Except Raven is bit on boy-crazy overdrive and appears slutty in my view. I didn't really like her.
Ember's life is basically a whole mess and I felt her frustrations with her.

When this book started out, with her in the cemetery, I knew I was hooked. She meets Cameron in the cemetery and I honestly fell in love with him. Like, head over heels in love. And all he did was purr "Come here." So, that's how boy crazy I went when I read about him. I was literally under his spell. 
It was a whole other story when I was introduced to Asher. I didn't like him at first. I was all like, "OMG, seriously? How goth cliché are we gonna make this?" I mean, I was sooo over reading about a goth falling in love with a fellow goth. It was totally okay for that to happen in Vampire Kisses though. 

Do not fret, though.Why? Because I totally fell in love with Asher not even like, a chapter after being introduced to him. He was absolutely breathtaking and undeniably sexy as hell. The romance between Ember and Asher made my insides all fluttery. Sounds weird, huh?
So, any who, we got a whole bunch of things involving death, angels, grim reapers, etc.
Personally, I found it lovely. I mean I'm so done with angels, fallen angels, guardian angels, etc. Okay, saying I'm done with those type of angel books may be a bit over exaggerating.
If the books good enough, I'll read it.

So, we got this whole blooming love thing with Asher and Ember, until Cameron comes along. Why do I have the highest suspicion that this is all turning into some love triangle? It may not fully show in Ember but it will in Cinder the second book in the Death Collectors. The cover of Cinder totally gives it away. Ember is in between Asher and Cameron on the cover. How hot is that? ;)


So, we got some major epic-ness going on and some sexy romance. I couldn't put down this book until I finished it. And I was not disappointed when I finished it. Okay, maybe I was, a little. But you'll all be disappointed when you read the ending yet majorly excited for the next book to come out. 

That basically sums up my feelings for this book in that jumbled up mess of a review. I'm just so tongue tied and anxious! I need the next book with a passion, right now
It's going to be an awful long wait for Cinder. ;)
