Can Harley get Ray safe and try to save the world from being destroyed...by her?
Harley
Harley is our point of view character, and I have to say that I felt bad for Harley. She gets abused a lot by her father and is trying to keep Ray safe from harm. Honestly, that is a hard thing to do, especially in a trailer. Harley lives in Chicago, and once she turns eighteen, Harley will get Ray to safety. Except her unknown paranormal life gets in the way of that. Harley discovers on her eighteenth birthday that her blood might be the Key to ending the world, exactly what any girl wants to hear while battling demons.
Throughout the book, we follow Harley on her journey of learning about this new life while discovering that not everything is what it seems. Harley has a lot to learn and in a very short time span since she has to get an apartment, file for custody for her little sister, and keep her job at Miller's. Oh, wait, that's not all she has to learn to control her new powers while making sure to keep alive and not set free a demon.
Harley is very selfless in that she will put herself in danger to keep her little sister safe. In her whole world of darkness, the only thing that is light in it is Ray, who she can't allow to be sucked into this unfair paranormal world that Harley is now a part of. All of that is a great thing to admire in character. She overcomes her upbringing and embraces her future. I can relate to this character, as when I was younger, we have some similarities, but now I am in a better place in my life. This is something that I'm thankful for all the time. I really like Harley. She has so many things against her, and yet she continues to fight for herself and Ray. I hope in the next book that Harley is ready for the fight of her life.
Four Stars
Ember of Night by Molly E. Lee was an enthralling and enchanting book. It swept me away. Harley's fight is just getting started, and that is actually sad. Ms. Lee does a fabulous job crafting this book together, and I love Harley and Draven together. The baddies are so awesome, and I had a hard time guessing who the Second could be. I kept second-guessing myself about that. The next installment is going to be interesting. I can't wait. I am giving this four stars and recommending it to any of the young adult paranormal readers out there.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Ember of Night by Molly E. Lee.
Until the next time,
Happy Reading!
