About this ebook

Bright and shy, Ember Gillespie was sent away from her home and her family when she was little.  She was raised by strangers in an urban boarding school that didn't resemble her family's rural and hermetic home in any way.  

Her sister Thalia, always her mother's favorite, got to stay. They never told Ember the dark family secret--why she had to go.  

When she finally gets home at the age of sixteen, the realization that her family doesn't want her is nearly more than she can bear. Her grandmother has become senile, her mother is manic, and her sister is a brainwashed shadow of who she used to be. Her only refuge from the constant strain in her mother's house comes from a young man who has taken her under his wing, and a dark friendship that seems to have the potential to ignite into romance.

The only thing more shocking than her family's rejection is the reason they want her leave.  Thalia confesses that the town is inhabited by demons, and that Ember is too weak to fend for herself.  Their mother believes that Ember's paramour is particularly dangerous and bent on revenge.

Ember knows her mother is crazy. But as she starts losing her memories and waking up to strange notes she's left herself, she begins to believe her mother might also be right.

Ratings and reviews

It took me more than a few chapters to get into this book. I didn't like the main character at all and it felt like it was taking too long to build the plot, but then it took off running! I couldn't put this book down. I even ended up liking the main character, though I do still find her to be a little too needy, even with her background it's a touch pathetic, but I find it endearing and I have a feeling she's going to be one hell of a strong character.

Def a page turner..a little weird but I really did enjoy it..I wish it would have gone into the whys and hows of the demons but still pretty creepy..I'm going to get book 2 I need to know what happens!!

A very unusual book but one you will be unable to put down, it has lots of twist and turned and is very well thought out. Well recommended so try it.
