Ember (Mini-Review)

Ember

 (Death Collectors, #1)

By: Jessica Sorensen

Release Date: August 28th, 2012

Genre(s): YA Paranormal/Fantasy/Romance

My Review: (4.5/5 stars*)

Ember is dark, amusing, and mysteriously entertaining. Jessica Sorensen manages to deliver a compelling start to a promising new series. The story begins simple but builds into something deliciously complex that will intrigue you. Although sometimes predictable there are some twists you won't see coming and that makes this book worth reading. Upon reading the synopsis the story turns out to be completely unique and branches out into something wildly diverse from what it started as and that's extremely refreshing. The characters are just as fascinating each has great depth. Easily a 4.5 star rating, Ember is a fantastically fun read that will be devoured quickly.
