Gr 8 Up—Ember is the sole survivor of a fiery car crash that changes her life forever. She goes to stay with her aunt Ila, and she discovers that not only is she descended from angels but she is also a Watcher. Soon, Ember is thrown into a world full of demons, growlers, and angels. With no idea how to use her powers or whom to trust, which path will she choose? Narrators Michelle Ferguson and Aaron Abano have engaging voices that bring to life Ember's world. Their distinct voices make each character easy to distinguish, and they navigate among action and external and internal dialogue without missing a beat. The plot and characters are well developed, and the action is suspenseful and engaging.
VERDICT Fans of supernatural and apocalyptic fiction will enjoy listening to this book.
