I really REALLY like these books. I don't know what it is about me and Angels but I'm a bit obsessed reading about them. It helps when the writer is amazing at what she does! Jessica's writing style and flow is just, I don't know... pitch perfect. It really is.The only thing that kept me from giving it the overall 5 stars is- I felt like there was some stuff that was extra fluff. The story reads well, the writing is fast paced. You'll read through this extremely fast, due to the overall story, plot, characters etc... but I felt at times that even with it reading so well that, it was boring. And that's only because of the "extra fluff" that I thought the story didn't necessarily need. Just so that I'm making it clear, I'm NOT talking about the sex or anything to do with that part(s). I could totally go for more sex scenes if you know what I mean?! I ain't playing, those were written VERY well. I'd love for Jessica to write out an erotica, I think it would be a best seller for sure! LOL.Back track to the story, focus. I waited for forever for this book to come out. I hope that the rest (which I'm not sure how many more there are going to be?) don't take as long to get here. Because I kept coming and checking constantly for this before I decided to give it a rest and basically give up on the series for now (at that time.) But then I seen a FB Blogger posting the links for it and was really shocked to find that it was out, since I'd just recently quit checking for it. So hopefully we don't have to wait that long again. Though to be honest it WAS worth the wait. I'd seriously wait all over again. I just really like them enough to.So with that it goes into phase 2, basically where the first left off. Ember gets closer to discovering which side she truly resides on. Cliffhanger for sure, so fair warning for that. Also, before I forget to mention this. There is 2 different sets of these books out. In case anyone was wondering or if you didn't know about that, now you do. This book is the x-rated version and then there is also a clean version that omits all of the sexual/graphic scenes. I haven't read the clean versions because obviously if you couldn't tell, from my rant about the "sex" spoken earlier about. I don't mind it being in the book(s). I'm an adult so I chose to go with the original (or maybe the one without sex is the original?) But if your looking for something less steamy go with the clean version and you can tell which one it is by the covers. They are different and also the synopsis has it in there as well. As do the font/titles of the stories vary by having the "X" after the title which would mean that they are the "X-Rated" versions verses the ones that just have the title without an "X" that follows.Here is the link for the CLEAN VERSION- Book 1 Ember-Ember (Death Collectors, #1)Here is the link for the CLEAN VERSION- Book 2 Cinder-Cinder (Death Collectors, #2)Here is the link for the X-RATED VERSION- Book 1 Ember XEmber X (Death Collectors, #1)This review (the page you are currently reading this on) is the X-RATED VERSION for Book 2- Cinder X. So just click the buy link at the top of this page if this is the version you want for book 2.I'm not really sure how I got the x-rated first book to begin with. I didn't know at that time that there were 2 versions out (or if only at that time the x-rated was the only one out?) but I did notice it when I went to read the synopsis for this book. I seen that it was the clean version so, I clicked on her (Jessica Sorensen's) Author page and found this one too and clicked it and read the synopsis again and found that it was x-rated. So then, I had to check my library for which version I bought the first time around and it was the x-rated. So, obviously I stuck with those versions of the books. And I'm seriously glad I got the x-rated and not the clean because, I'd have been a little bit pissed and probably would have ended up buying the x-rated to see what I'd been missing so... Buy it, love it, hate it but review it.
