Another day, another book.[Some slight spoilers ahead]This, Embers, is unlike any book I've ever read before and I thoroughly enjoyed my time reading it. It's like a modern day witch hunt. I loved how the main character Scarlett Roth develops in this story. She's a young teenage girl who has to move home to the new town of Salem, now, we all know Salem right? Or at least something about it's long and intriguing history with the witch trials. She moves there with her mother, where she meets the gorgeous Jake, her new found love. So there we have the romance side of the story. We as the readers get to rediscover all of our feelings of a fresh love, how we tingle with our love's touch, it's lovely. Alongside the romance, we discover that Scarlett has visions, what people would call psychic powers I suppose. And she discovers a history of girls in Salem suffering with the same problem. I call it a problem because she doesn't feel it is a gift. She doesn't enjoy the visions, as you will get to find out. I'm not going to comment any further on that as I don't want to spoil the story for any new readers.It's witch hunts, pshycic powers, young love all combined with a massive cover up involving some poweful people in the town, and how this isn't a recent thing, it's gone on for years.If you love playing detective, you'll enjoy reading this book. It's like playing detective in a paranormal setting. It's great, I personally really enjoyed this book, and cannot wait for the next one!Thank you Amy for a great read!I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. The only reason I give 4 and not 5, is because there are errors in the book that should be addressed at some point, if possible. Aside from that, brilliant!
