It's an intriguing premise: Jade has been hearing a voice in her head since she was little, and the good old family history says that she will go crazy and kill herself if she ignores it, but something awful will happen if she listens.

The first few chapters of the story moved slowly, and all of the characters felt flat and one-note. But I'm not a quitter - I wanted to know more about this curse that all the females in her family has suffered form hundreds of years.

And once the box she discovered in a hidden room (that hides a lot of family secrets) starts talking to her, i was hooked. When the voice convinces her to free it, she unleashes something unexpected and this is where the story really takes off. As the pace quickens, the twists and turns build up and secrets are revealed.

As the story progresses, her character shows real growth and I found myself more invested in her. I also had no idea what direction the story would take. This was much darker of a tale that I expected, one of consequences, and I really enjoyed it in the end.

"House of Falling Embers" is a book that really stood out to me, not only because of the beautiful cover, but also because of the description. It just sounded so different and interesting, that I couldn't pass up reading it next. At just over 350 pages, this book is a smooth and easy read, and I loved every single page.

I was utterly amazed by this new author, one I had not heard of before, but that will definitely be on my "must-read" list from now on. This was a wonderful book, with interesting and unique characters that just grabbed me. I stand in awe of the fact that a new author can write a book that's so flawless in every way - from the beautiful cover, to the fascinating plot, to the believable and smooth-flowing dialogue, to the final, perfect ending - it's just astonishing. I'm not sure if the author plans more books with these characters, but I certainly hope so. If not, that's okay too, because no matter what she writes, I'm sure it will be just as compelling and mesmerizing as this one was.

**I received an ARC copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review**

It's a no for me. As someone who is very familiar with the subject matter, I felt like this book was all over the place. Like what are you trying to say? It just seemed very generic to me. I also feel like the author needs some real counseling because some of the stuff was kinda creepy and not in a good way either. Mental health is serious matter, and if this is a cry for help please find some immediately, because too much is going on in this world right now for things like this especially to be ignored. I hope you find peace whatever your going through.… (mer)
