A thrilling apocalyptic roller coaster ride!

Demon Ember is a thrilling apocalyptic, roller coaster ride of a story. I could not put it down. I have previously read works by Becca Vincenza but Melissa Haag is new to me. They make a fantabulous duo. There are tons of stories out about the zombie apocalypse but Becca & Melissa’s story has a unique twist. Somehow a portal has opened and unleashed hellhound and demon like creatures on Earth. The infected humans are left in a zombie like state but don’t count them out (can’t say more w/o a spoiler here). Mya is struggling to return home and find her family. She runs into one such demon, Drav. For reasons unknown to Mya at time, Drav spares her life and aids her in getting home. Again, no spoilers but trust me May is in for quite an adventure.

Normally I only listen to my audiobooks while in the car but this story was so thrilling I could not wait to finish. Luckily, I own the paperback too. So between audio and reading I finished it in no time. I could not get away from this story. I had to finish it. Demon Ember is well written and I could definitely pick out aspects of both writers in the story. Becca & Melissa mesh well together and have written a fantastic series. The narrator, Dara Rosenberg did a fabulous job bringing this story to life. She heightened the emotions of Mya so that I really connected and felt the story. i hope she has continued the series.

Demon Ember is book 1 in The Resurrection Chronicles so of course it ended in a heart stopping cliff hanger. Lucky for me, the other books are out so I can delve right back in.

This book is exciting and different. What a great imagination this author possesses! There is a cliffhanger ending.

Unique post-apocalyptic paranormal romance

This is not your average paranormal or post apocolypse romance. The female MC reacts to the situations and hero in a realistic way, I would call this a slow burn.Definitely recommend for fans of Ruby Dixon.

My only criticism is the narration is sometimes over acts dramatic moments but it's not cringe-worthy..

Warning to Oklahoman readers

Let me start by saying that this book is great. I enjoyed it. It was an interesting take on the apocalypse. I was also super excited to read a novel that takes place in my home state. However, I kept getting thrown out of the story BECAUSE it takes place in my home state and I'm not sure the authors have ever been here, much less lived here. So, warning to readers from Oklahoma, there are loads of little things that don't quite sync up. Don't let it make you give up, just try to imagine it's an alternate reality or something. The rest of the story is fun. And if you don't live here, you'll never notice so dont worry.

Great introduction to a new series.

I like this story a lot. It is very entertaining.

Mya’s a college student. After several earthquakes, her world is falling apart as animals with red eyes begin attacking people and start the spread of an infection that is zombie-like. Mya decides to try to make her way home from college to make sure that her family is ok. Some people help her on her way but another creature attacks them leaving Mya sure that she's going to die.

The grey-skinned pointy-eared creature with green/yellow eyes and sharp teeth seems to be more human then he seemed at first. As the two spend more time together, Mya discovers that he is also intelligent and protective. He tells her he will keep her safe and take her home, but can she trust that he will do as he says?

This is a great introduction to this new series, but be aware that it ends in a cliffhanger! (I hate cliffhangers but since the other books in the series are already out, I will make an exception with this book!) This story had me laughing so hard at parts that I almost cried. There are a lot of feels in this story. It's very mild in terms of language and sexual content as this is kind of a hi, how are you, please don't eat me book. I recommend reading this book. Or listening to it!
I own an ebook copy as well as an audible copy.

Very nice surprise

Really good story narration was real good also!
New take on zombies story
Can’t wait to read the next one!

I'm hooked!

I'm not usually one to read/listen to this particular genre but this one has me hooked! Mya and Drav are phenomenal and everything I love about a book is in this one. Dara Rosenburg delivers and then some.

phenomenal

my first from this author and won't be the last narration was ok I think it would have been better with a duel narration but overall a good book

Absolutely AMAZING!!

This book will have you on the edge of your seat all the way through. It's suspenseful and hilarious. It will have you laughing one moment and crying the next. Dara Rosenberg is fantastic!
