About this listen
Seventeen-year-old Ember Denning has made an art of isolating herself. She prefers the dead. She spends her days skipping school in old cemeteries and her nights hiding from her alcoholic father at the funeral home where she works. When her own father dies, Ember learns her whole life is a lie.
Standing in the cemetery that's been her sanctuary, she's threatened by the most beautiful boy she's ever seen and rescued by two people who claim to be her family. They say she's special, that she has a supernatural gift like them...they just don't know exactly what it is.
They take her to a small Florida town, where Ember's life takes a turn for the weird. She's living with her reaper cousins, an orphaned werewolf pack, a faery and a human genius. Ember's powers are growing stronger, morphing into something bigger than anything anybody anticipated. Ember has questions but nobody has answers. Nobody knows what she is. They only know her mysterious magical gift is trying to kill them and that beautiful dangerous boy from the cemetery may be the only thing standing between her and death.
As Ember's talents are revealed so are the secrets her father hid and those in power who would seek to destroy her.

Original Story Premise
Loved this story! Am starting the second book now, but was disappointed to see that the third book isn’t available. This story has it all from the paranormal & supernatural worlds and is original in its world building, history and mythology making. The characters are great, they are like real people, sometimes you like them and other times you dislike them, plus we have our twisted villains…they are a little more 2D but not enough that it detracts.
