I liked the Lantern thing, but I did not like how uninterested Anya is in her magical abilities. She's basically like "Oh yeah, I do this thing... but I dunno how or why." Zero fucks given. Also, the romantic interest being in a coma for most of the book was laaame.
3.7 stars, because:a) It kind of dragged on needlessly, particularly in the middle, but Anya was likable enough to make it bearable.and b) WACKO LOVE INTEREST YES.

Anya can see ghosts and eats them. Well the bad ones as she does not always feel good afterwards. She is a Lantern. She was not ...

3.5This book could've been better. It was heavy on the description and internal thoughts and not so big on the action and the dialogue. It did little for character development though there were lots of characters and it even managed to make me question the moral fiber of our heroine.Hurrah?
4.5 starsI liked Embers a lot! Great characters, tons of suspense, a really mean demon, and Sparky the fire elemental! The ending was a bit too pat, but the premise and setting kept me locked on the story. I am looking forward to more books by Laura Bickle - I love her storytelling style.Full rev...
