Embers (Dark in You, #4)

by Suzanne Wright

[booksandcats]

I think this might be my favorite book of this series so far which is impressive condisering it's the forth one and I'm reading them back to back, which normally means I get slightly tired of the chracacters at this point (which I know is a stupid thing to do with books and characters that I love, but I have no self control whatsoever).

I loved the addition of Asher, I loved seing Harper and Knox and their demons as parents, dealing with everyday stuff and demon stuff at the same time. Asher is absolutely adorable and fascinating and I loved the ongoing mistery about what exactly he is (I loved how it turned out, absolutely perfect). The things I loved about the first books (the characters, the chemistry, the banter, the heat) are still there and I think Suzanne Wright nailed the plot in this one. The action was much higher, it felt like so much more was happening and it was perfect!

Also, they didn't kill the bad guys in 5 seconds! It was a nice long confrontation, and they didn't kill them, but made them suffer for like an eternity, so yay. Alethea was so satisfying to see going down. A big plus for plot this time.

The only tiny thing that I didn't like was that another ex was causing drama. Though it was only fair that Knox had to endure one of Harper's exes after what she had to go through with all the girls from his past, it is a trope that isn't my favorite and since it has happened in every one of these books, I am kind of over it. But that's the only caveat, so 4.5 stars from me and I love to read about the sentinels next.
