Praise for Embers

"An impending apocalypse provides a compelling backdrop for romance in this page-turning first installment of a new YA series. Hopkins expertly weaves her plotlines together in this compulsively readable teen romance story...Hopkins delivers many successful elements of young-adult romance - appealing lead characters, high-voltage chemistry, repressed sexuality - which will win her ardent followers." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Embers is the start of an action-packed paranormal YA series. Ms. Hopkins draws the reader immediately in with her richly drawn prologue that introduces the lurking evil in a breath-taking manner. a must read for YA, paranormal, fantasy and suspense fans. Make that a delight for any reader!" (Ind'Tale Magazine)

Embers is an epic paranormal adventure/romance about an 18-year-old girl who discovers that she's immune to fire - and any other injury - when she's in a horrific car crash that kills her parents. Following a violent episode with her aunt's boyfriend, Ember flees Ohio to live with an old relative in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Ember's exuberance at escaping a bad home life soon turns to trepidation when she learns that she's a Watcher, a descendant of angels. While Ember is instructed about her heritage and the powers that go along with it, she strikes up friendships with two teenagers who live inside of a frightening walled compound in the forest. Inexplicably drawn to one of the young men in particular, an impossible romance develops. But it's cut short when Ember discovers that her new friends are fighting on the opposite side of a war that's been raging between two factions of Watchers for thousands of years. When the compound's inhabitants threaten the townspeople, Ember takes action, sealing her fate in the ancient battle of good versus evil, and the grayness in between.

Outstanding!!

I loved every minute of this book. It was wonderful!! I need to save up so I can get Gaia now lol I need to know what happens next!

Embers

The story was good, but the performances were disappointing. All the male characters sounded the same as if they had Scottish or Irish accent regardless of where they came from. This took away from the story. Embers’s attitude was irritating. It was hard to get past this after explanation for her easy irritation was given.

Not a bad read

I really liked the concept of the angel descendent watchers being able to wield the elements. Ember supposedly is the most powerful watcher born in a millennium but her immaturity & social awkwardness take away from this all powerful persona. It will be interesting to see how the dynamics of Ember & her new friends help her grow into a savior.

my thoughts.

Wow!! I absolutely LOVED this book. I can't wait to read/listen to the rest of the series!!

I liked it but I wanted to love it

I liked it, but I wanted to love it. It was a pretty good story but it felt a little bit like twilight to me. I found myself getting bored at times.

so gross

the story starts out well. the female MC is well written and the plot is interesting. the female narrator did a great job. then a "love interest" shows up and it's so creepy. why is a centuries old man, who fought in the civil war, scamming on a naive 17 year old girl who has been homeschooled her entire life and has never even had a boyfriend? disgusting. wtf. the male narrator did not help the situation. although maybe there was no helping the situation. so gross. immediate no feeling. do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Creepy old guy preying on highschool girl pnr.

Why do female authors always write these "romances" where the 150 year old creep in a younger man's body is always creeping on the 17 year old highschool kid? Kinda pathetic imo.
