Ember X by Jessica Sorensen Book Review



Blurb 

(New Adult Paranormal)
**Mature Content Advisory**
Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual situations and language

For nineteen-year-old Ember, life has always been about death. With a simple touch, she can see when someone will die. It’s her curse and the reason she secludes herself from the world. The only person that knows her secret is her best friend Raven.

But that changes when she meets Asher Morgan. He’s gorgeous and mysterious and is the only person Ember can't sense death from. The silence he instills in her mind and body allows her to feel things she’s never been able to before, so despite her initial reservations, Ember lets Asher into her life and lets herself to get close to him. But the closer they get, the more Ember realizes that Asher is keeping secrets from her.

When unexplained deaths begin to surface in her town, Ember questions why she can’t see Asher's death and what it is he’s hiding from her.

When I read the blurb for this one I was excited for two reasons: 
1. I love Jessica Sorensen
2.  Love weird paranormal romance stories
So this was a double win for me!
From the beginning pages of this book I swear I was reminded of the movie the 6th sense...."I see dead people." This story is told by ember. A young girl who most would categorize as weird. I mean really who hangs out in cemeteries? Well ember has a gift that has also been a curse to her, she sees DEATH.  I mean I would be a little freaked out if I was able to touch a person and see his/her fate. 

Well this story gets even more interesting. Throw a love triangle in the mix consistung of a pretty bad a** grim reaper and Angel of death. Of did I mention they are walking around among the humans like a regular joe on the street. Ya embers life was chaotic to say the least.  BUT what do you do when for the first time in your life DEATH makes you  feel butterflies and hot/bothered. Remember me mentioning that love triangle lol. It's amazing how a glare/stare from the right man can turn a woman into mush, lol. 

Throughout this book the more i read about embers life the more I hoped she could find at least one person that had her best intentions at heart. So many moments in this book my heart broke for her. Raven her supposed BFF, ya not on my like list was bipolar I swear... loving one moment and plotting the next. 

As ember's  story continued I honestly didn't know if she would ever find her way through the STORM/Tornado brewing in her life. Throw in the addition of hot grim reapers/ angel demons and mrs. Sorensen kept me on my toes till the end. This was a different paranormal take on characters for me and I loved the concept. Mrs. Sorensen took the concept of death to a whole new level.  

Good job Mrs. Sorensen! 

Cheers, 
Dr.Books
