    About this audiobook

    Keri Arthur, New York Times bestselling author of Fireborn, presents the thrilling new Souls of Fire Novel featuring Emberly Pearson, a phoenix that can transform into a human-and is haunted by the ability to foresee death.... Crimson Death, the plague like virus spawned from a failed government experiment to isolate the enzymes that make vampires immortal, continues to spread. Emberly and her partner, Jackson Miller, are desperately seeking the stolen research for a cure before the virus becomes a pandemic. But their mission is jeopardized by another threat uncovered in Emberly's prophetic dreams. A creature of ash and shadow has been unleashed on a murdering spree. Now Emberly must summon all her gifts and investigative knowledge to put an end to this entity's brutal rampage-even if it means placing herself in harm's way....

      I think I enjoyed this one a little less than Fireborn. I like Emberly and her healthy, normal woman, appetite for sex, but I really wish she would lose Sam --but for reasons the author goes into in the first book she can't. I liked this story and I continue to enjoy Ms. Arthur's unique world and imagination but by the end of the book I was a little desperate for Emberly to really have a meaningful connection.
    • 3/5
      Two threads are followed in this second story about Emberly, a phoenix who is now working as a PI along with Jackson, a fire fae. They are still looking for the researchers’ notes in hopes of finding a cure for the failed experiment of isolating the enzyme believed to make vampires immortal. Most of these new vampires made from this virus are insane and their numbers are growing. Also looking for the notes are different factions of the sindicati who don’t want to believe that Em and Jackson don’t have them.The other thread which introduces us to a bigger threat on the horizon, deals with a creature Em sees during prophetic dreams, hunting victims.As always, we get a lot of detailed action scenes, the main characters are likeable and the threats faced are interesting. And we get more information about Sam, Em’s ex-lover, as well as why he was acting like such a jerk in the first book.I’ve read every book this author has ever published, and that started long before the Riley Jensen series. But this is the first one where I kept losing interest in the story. It’s taken me days to get through this book as I kept putting it down and found other things to do. There were two reasons for that.The first was a sense of repetition in the storyline. Yes, it does move along, but it’s like many of the same scenes are repeated in different places and scenarios, at least as far as how Em handles things. And yes, I do agree with others that this also has the feel of both Riley’s and Risa’s stories.The other was I only vaguely remember the first book and kept getting lost with who is who when different characters are mentioned, especially ones that don’t make an appearance in this book for one reason or another. I’m sure my lack of keeping focus on this story just made this issue worse for me.

      I am so on the fence about how I feel about WICKED EMBERS. I really like the characters, but like other reviews have stated, they are a lot like Arthur's previous characters and it's really hard not to compare them or be a little bit bored by them and the situations they find themselves in.The actual storyline of WICKED EMBERS was entertaining. The book starts off not long after the events of FIREBORN. There is a new serial killer case that Ember is working to solve with the help of her dreams and the redcloaks storyline continues on and the stakes get even higher. I really enjoyed learning more about the Phoenix's talents as well as their relationships with their life partners. We also get to meet some of Jackson's Fae friends which I hope to read more of in future books. I think you would be very lost if you jumped into the Souls of Fire Series with WICKED EMBERS, so make sure you read FIREBORN before picking it up. I really enjoy Keri Arthur's writing so I don't see myself giving up on the series just yet.* This book was provided free of charge from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
