AMAZING!!Embers & Ice the second book in Isabella Modra “Rouge” Series doesn’t disappoint!  I was offered this book to read and review and jumped at the chance because I loved Rouge so much.  As the first book did Embers & Ice drew me in from the beginning and I hated having to stop reading to deal with real life.  This book starts where Rouge left off with Hunter being captured by the agents and waking up in a cell at ICE or hell or the death cave, whatever name you choose to call it.  Hunter is broken after witnessing what she thought was Eli’s death at the hands of her only family left, her guardian Joshua or the “Ice Man’ depending on which personality is in control at the time. As Hunter comes to and is introduced to the other prisoners of the Death Cave she realizes she is not the only person in the world with super powers.  There are many more like her and they all have different and amazing powers that the evil Dr. Wolfe is testing and experimenting with.  As time goes on Hunter realizes exactly what sacrifices Joshua has made all her life to keep her safe from this terrible place.  She meets Will and discovers she has been in this place before when she was a baby and Joshua took her and escaped so she could live a normal life away from all the tests and experiments.  This book introduces several new characters that draw you into this story even more.  I loved the interaction between Hunter and her new friends, especially Fearne, Sammy, and Will and learned to really hate Jet, the men in white, and the evil Dr. Wolfe.  All the while Hunter is suffering in the death cave, Joshua is trying to make amends by saving Eli, the love of her life, and Jenny, her favorite teacher after freezing them to try and protect Hunter.  Eli awakes with no memory of Hunter, so with Jenny’s help Joshua sets out to try and find a friend who he thinks can restore Eli’s memory and then they can try to rescue Hunter. There is so much more going on and happening but I don’t want to spoil the story.This book is so action packed, I promise you will not want to put it down and the characters are so compelling you just have to know what happens next!  This is one of the most exciting young adult paranormal books I have read and I can’t wait to see what happens next!  I will definitely be continuing this series, as I have a feeling it is only going to get better and better!  Isabella’s writing is so contagious and compelling, the story flows so easily and the books are just long enough to tell the story perfectly and leave you craving more of Hunter’s world!  I love this series and can’t wait for the next book!
