Jack has been watching over Ember ever since
she was little. Ember is a powerful witch and Jack makes it his job to ensure
that the Otherworlders do not come to take Ember. There has been a witch power
shortage in the Otherworld and the Lord of the Otherworld is seeking for a new
witch to supply the world with power. Ember is persistent to go to the
Otherworld. Jack will not take her, so she seeks for a way to get there. Ember
meets the charming vampire Dev, who was sent by the wife of the Lord of the
Otherworld. Dev’s job is to escort Ember to meet the Lord of the Otherworld’s
wife. Jack soon finds out that Ember has entered the Otherworld and he and
Ember’s best friend Finney must go save her before anything bad happens to her.
This is an amazing story of adventure, mystery, magic, love and heartbreak. The characters in this book were likable and
well developed. I enjoyed the setting and thought it was cool for different. I
loved the plot twists put in place. I do, however, wish that the author had put
more detail into certain parts of the book.
