A Curse of Ash and Embers by Jo Spurrier
4.0
I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
If I didn't have to sleep at night, or at all, then I would've finished this in one setting. Unfortunately, with days filled with endless appointments - my eyes were pretty tired once I got the half way mark of A Curse of Ash and Embers. Luckily for me, I got to dive back into once I woke up and I was extremely excited to see how everything was going to play out.
Not going to lie.. but I was pretty dead on with my guesses about a certain character throughout this book. So when we go to the ending and some secrets came out - yeah, wasn't surprised one bit. 10 points for me bitches! Other than that, you do get to meet Elodie. She is just a girl looking for a place to belong to. It certainly isn't at home with her mom and douche of a stepfather.
God, did they annoy the crap out of me. The whole.. well you aren't his kid and that's why he doesn't treat you as such is complete bullshit. I sure as hell hope step parents don't act like that in real life. I'm only saying that because I have no step parents.. so yeah, not real familiar with them.
Other than that, the whole magic and witch stuff was pretty cool. I'm glad Elodie, aka Dee, got a better life outside of her family. Even if she now works for the towns witch and has become a Blackbone. I absolutely adored Aleida and I can't wait for them to both grow in the next book.
I also really want to know who sent the damn letter. Please tell me I find out in the next book?
