5 / 5 Stars
I was thoroughly immersed in this world!
Of Elves & Embers starts off with a girls’ weekend to Vegas… that goes horribly wrong.
Ember has always felt off in her world, like something was missing. She’s lived a rough life and been mostly alone. This all changes when she’s taken through a portal in Vegas and becomes the captive of the Shadow King.
Now she’s surrounded by people who thinks she’s someone else and seem to hate her on sight. As she struggles with feelings of deja vu and unexpected memories that are not from her human life, it becomes a race for her to discover the truth, while dealing with consequences and threats from the past.
This book is full of fantastic characters that you love, hate, and hate to love. The world unfolds beautifully, as does the details Ember is missing. I couldn’t stop reading, as I waited for it to all unfold.
For me personally, an unexpected second chance is incredibly emotional, and I cried right along with Ember. There is some spice, but it’s the emotions behind it that make it so moving and so impactful. I adored this book!
Of Elves & Embers releases February 6th! Thank you so much to the authors for the ARC copy to read before release!
Book blurb from Goodreads:
A princess bound in flames.
A king living in shadows.
A forgotten vow written in the stars.
When I jetted off to Vegas for a reluctant girls’ weekend, the last thing I expected was to tumble through a portal into an alternate reality.
Now, I’m stuck in a world straight out of a fantasy, collared by a king who can’t stand the sight of me, and roped into a deal he insists I struck in a previous life – a life where I was an Elven princess, arch-rival to his court.
I keep telling myself it’s all a crazy dream, but the memories that barrage me every night are too real to ignore. And, as much as I hate to admit it, there’s this inexplicable pull towards this mysterious elf – my captor, my adversary, and, bizarrely, my protector.
King Hadeon is hiding things about our shared history, and I’m not sure I’m ready to dig into that mystery. Even if I dared, the revelations might be more than I can handle.
With the Moon Court Elves gunning for me and wraiths threatening to destroy everything, I’m racing against time and fate. I need to piece together my past life before it’s too late, and before history decides to repeat itself.
