   The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . KINGDOM OF EMBERS (Kingdom Journals, #1) . . . Words straight from the blurb of this book, "If you like intriguing characters, shadowy magic, and a fresh twist on modern vampire storylines, then you’ll love Tricia Copeland’s heart-stopping tale."  I have to say that I fully agree. This was a wonderful tale. I was excited to get started and even more excited to meet Alena and many more that I was excited to meet, but would be more excited to see them with their own story in the Kingdom Journals series. 

The setting up of the main characters drew me deeper in beyond the words in the blurb. The intricacies of the world that was crafted provided both deep characters and a fantastic world of fantasy, magic, and paranormal. There was long told prophecy that would lead us to the saving of a world that would parish. Alena has more to do with this tale than she could have imagined. 

Kingdom of Embers was most certainly a story that set you up for much more coming. The ending was satisfying but at the same time you knew there was more coming. 

I enjoyed the narration. I have no negatives or anything really outstanding about the narration. The audio was clean, clear, and flowing. 

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Tricia Copeland. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.



Her pale skin and weird diet make her a target at school. If only they knew the truth about her feeding habits…

Seventeen-year-old Alena Scott is tired of pretending to be something she’s not. As an outlawed vampire-witch hybrid, she’s forced to abide by the oppressive secrecy imposed by her Vampire Chancellor mother. But she’ll have to ignore the rules when she comes face-to-face with a handsome, full-grown version of her childhood imaginary friend.

Shocked that he recognizes her as his own pretend play pal, the two embark on a quest to solve the mystery of their fantasized companionship. And as they unravel their entwined destinies, Alena realizes she holds the key to a curse which could free them all—or condemn witchkind to eternal suffering.

Can Alena and her impossibly familiar partner reverse an ancient spell before they’re sent to a mortal grave?

Kingdom of Embers is the first book in the enthralling Kingdom Journals YA urban fantasy series. If you like intriguing characters, shadowy magic, and a fresh twist on modern vampire storylines, then you’ll love Tricia Copeland’s heart-stopping tale.

Buy Kingdom of Embers to embrace a prophetic fate today!

She is desperate to figure out what her mother is looking for and in the process meets Hunter, an imaginary friend from age four. Hunter and she embark on a mission to discover how they knew they interacted as children. They find they are the key to releasing a curse on witch souls damning them to purgatory.
