A review by ninafbooks
From the Embers by Aly Martinez
5.0
This book was flipped on its head. It had me crying my eyes out within the first five chapters. SO. MUCH. ANGST! I absolutely loved it. Funny thing, the angst started disappearing in the second half, and it felt like the author just threw a little bit of everything in there--rockstar, suspense, etc. It shouldn't have worked by all logic, but it somehow still did.
Bree was an absolute powerhouse and has instantly become one of my all-time favorite heroines. Eason was everything. Simple as that. And I do have to praise the author because the relationship she created between the two is one of the most healthy ones I've ever witnessed, in real life or books.
This was an amazing, in-depth slow burn, too filled with all kinds of tropes, but it wouldn't have worked as well without them all. It was a tad predictable with its twists and turns (some I saw coming from a mile away), but the writing was so good that it didn't matter because it all still seamlessly blended together.
Definitely recommend!
