I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thankfully, KA makes giving an honest review easy with her Ani'mari Saga series starter "Ephemeral". Aside from being drawn in from the cover, the premise of a girl who envisions the death of everyone she touches sounded like exactly my kind of read. The story was fast paced and the characters were exceptionally well drawn. Tori was an easy character to root for and her paranormal abilities were unique and refreshing. It's nice to see something new in the genre!One thing I loved about this story is that the romance did not steal the plot. I LOVE romance in my books, lots of it even, but I like to have a story, too. Because romance can only be done so many ways, but stories have so many more possibilities, and K.A. Poe really excels in capitalizing on a strong plot! As for the romance, I'm a huge fan of the relationship between Tori and Spencer, and I enjoyed the development over their relationship over the course of the novel as they come to learn why they have the abilities they do. Did NOT see that coming! I love surprises like these when I'm reading, and it made me love the story even more.K.A. is exceptional at developing her characters and immersing you in the scene with rich details that bring the story to life, and she manages to do this without sacrificing the pace or intrigue of the story. I will definitely be recommending this one to friends, and also reading more novels by this amazing author as time allows. A real attention grabber from start to finish. Don't miss out.
