Kingdom of Embers (Kingdom Journals Book 1) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Alexandra Leith

Kingdom of Embers by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kingom of Embers is a YA paranormal mystery romance. Alena is a forbidden creation, half witch and half vampire. When she starts her senior year at a new school she discovers that her imaginary friend from childhood is actually real. The two come together to try to figure out how this is possible and why it happened. Along the way secrets that Alena’s mother hid from her are discovered, a destiny is unfolded and  a dangerous threat that could start a war is exposed.

I do not usually enjoy YA books anymore. I just find it hard to relate to them. However, I took the chance anyway and I am glad that I did. Even though there is high school drama that is created by other students Alena is very mature for her age and I feel like that balanced it out. I loved the mystery behind the book. Like who her father is, why Alena and Chase were “imaginary friends” and what her mother has been searching for.

I did feel like the plot was rushed a bit. There were points where it lagged in build up to the that to me didn’t seem to happen until the last chapter. This book ends on a huge cliffhhanger that gave me the chills! I’m excited to start book two and really get things started.
