Embers Echoes Wildefire Karsten Knight Books

When Ashline learns that her supposedly human boyfriend Colt Halliday is actually a Hopi trickster god, she leaves him buried in formerly molten rock up to his waist and dumps him to search for her little sister Rosie. Being a Polynesian volcano god lets her do that sort of thing: melt rock and harden it again.

Clues lead Ash to Miami where she discovers that Rosie is in the control of a group of gods who want to bring back the old days when humans worshiped them and are willing to sacrifice other gods on television to make it happen. Ash teams up with Wes who is an Aztec god of night and Aurora who is a winged girl who are trying to defeat these Four Seasons.

Then Colt shows up again and is determined to influence events to bring about his desired outcome. Among other things he wants Ash back in his life. They have shared many previous lives which only Colt remembers. All gods except Colt have their past lives erased when they are reborn into new lives. Colt has found some way for Ashline to sees flashbacks of their previous lives together which are somewhat strangely recounted in the second person.

This was an action-packed middle book in a series with lots of violence. It has some stunning revelations about Ash and her sisters. It's cliffhanger ending will have readers searching for AFTERGLOW, the final book in the trilogy.

Embers Echoes Wildefire Karsten Knight Books Reviews

http//bookbutterflyreviews.blogspot.ca

This is going to be a very brief review because 1) I don't want to spoil the book and 2) There is way too much to put in the review to list it all out here. So, let me start off by saying that this was a beautiful sequel to continue a beautiful first novel in the series.

The sequel continued exactly where the first book left off. We learn a crucial part of the 'prophecy' ( if you can call the scroll that Jack gave the gods a prophecy) and a character gets seriously heart broken. On the up side, we get to meet two really great new characters (who are also Gods) and see the unraveling of a potential new relationship... one I was sitting at the edge of my seat to read any piece of information the author gave me. We only briefly get to meet our old characters from the first book, Wildefire and we get to know a little bit more about Ash's little sister, Rose. Lastly, we get a new set of villians with this book, and I DO say villians because, afterall, true villains from myths and fairytales always have super powers. You guessed it guys, they are gods as well! Well, all except for one ;)

If this hasn't convinced you to read the sequel to Wildefire then let me give you my assurances. This book was just as good as the first, if not better. We get to experience Ash using and mastering her powers and see a whole new range of different relationships emerge, be they friendship, hatred, to romance. We get to learn so much more depth within Ash, and thanks to a CERTAIN character, we get to learn alot more about Ash's past lives. This was a magnificent book and I praise Karsten Knight once more on a job very well done. 10/10 for sure.
Ashline Wilde wanted nothing more than to leave Blackwood Academy behind and to escape the memories of everything that happened that May. But as she learned when she arrived at Blackwood, you can't always run from your past.

It will follow you. And ignoring it can have devastating consequences. Consequences she's still reeling from.

But when her end of year plans take a drastic turn, she decides to face what she'd been trying to avoid and heads to Miami to track down the sister she knows only from visions. Her six-year-old sister Rose.

With barely any information to go on, she only knows that she has to try. Because her latest visions reveal that Rose could be in even more danger than she was before. And returning to Scarsdale without her is not a future Ash is willing to accept.

Being a volcano goddess may have its perks, a fiery temper not always being one of them, but it also means that things can turn deadly. Fast.

So when the search for her sister lands her in the path of a group of gods and goddess that have a bloodthirsty agenda, Ash must decide whether saving her sister is enough or whether she will have to become a hero for all of humanity.

***

Embers & Echoes is the dynamic, riveting, wildly entertaining and action-packed follow-up to Karsten Knight's powerhouse debut novel Wildefire. This sequel, that brings together gods and goddesses from around the globe, not only packs a punch, but has an easy flow that will make the pages fly.

The author doesn't just continue this incredibly unique story. He broadens the setting, lengthens the timeline, enlarges the cast of characters and expands the world. And he does all this in a way that feels natural to the story, right for the characters and easy to follow for the reader.

Embers & Echoes picks up where it left off in the first book, just moments after Wildefire's jaw-dropping conclusion. With no pause in the timeline, the story is able to continue at its break-neck pace and pull readers right back into Ash's story.

Leaving Blackwood Academy behind her, Ashline Wilde sets off on a quest to find her younger sister. One that will introduce her to new friends and put her face-to-face with old enemies. One that holds the promise of a new love but will make her confront an old one. And one that will put her life at risk time and time again.

Author Karsten Knight has crafted a story that is inventive, exciting, shocking, heartbreaking and utterly spellbinding. With characters that don't fit a stereotype or behave predictably and a plot that does the same, Embers & Echoes will keep readers on edge, continue to astound and leave them wondering just what happened.

With its beautiful and fluid writing that brings both crushing and heartrending losses and surprising and violent ends, this sequel allows readers to make a stronger emotional connection with the characters and story. It puts the heroine in more dangerous and challenging situations that force her to make difficult life and death decisions with consequences that she'll have to live with. And it leaves the door open for a number of possible outcomes, many of which couldn't possibly end happily.

Embers & Echoes is an absolute must read second book in this series for those who enjoy exquisitely crafted stories that have an incredibly strong heroine who never could be - or would allow herself to be - called a damsel in distress, stories that include a diverse mix of mythological gods and goddesses and stories that will transport them into a world that is dark, deadly and filled to the brim with action.
