Dying sucks, and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies.

Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things - including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming that Ember's curse is a gift, she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities weird even her out.

When Ember learns that the accident that turned her into a freak may not have been an accident at all, she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she gets to losing not only her heart but her life. For real this time.

In a word this book was emotional. I really enjoyed the ride the author took us on.
Ember is struggling not only with being her sister’s caregiver but because of what her sister can do and the results of the tragedy she has lived through.

I loved the world building Jennifer gives us, it’s never forced it always seems so organic. It makes for an intriguing story and one you won’t want to put down.
I kind of wish this was a series because I would love to know more about some of the other characters and even more Ember I mean the way the book ends it could lead to so much more.

I loved the narration Saskia gives the emotion the inflection and the heartbreak in her voice it's wonderful and keeps you gripped in the story.

Why did I wait so long to listen to this GEM!

All was good, story and narration, but at parts the story was too predictable and written for teenagers, still enjoyed it

Too young adult for my taste

Definitely recommend

I really wanted to love this book as I have loved every book I've read written by Jennifer so far but this one just fell incredibly flat. one of the things I love about her writing is how unpredictable the turns of her stories are but this one couldn't have been more predictable if it tried. the story also doesn't really go anywhere it all just feels like a giant preamble and then it ends. I kept waiting and waiting for it to pick up and then it just ended. I think the universe could be interesting to explore and it could definitely go somewhere if the story was continued but as is unfortunately not worth it.
