Helpful Score: 3
Dark Embers is one of those books that sounds like it'll be really really good...and then doesn't deliver.
The writing was well done, it's the story that made this impossible to like: The first few pages were promising then it pretty much turns into a sex fest....Literally almost every few pages there's another sex scene...and while I like my books steamy, when said steam takes over and leaves little to no room for any story...or characterization... or world building just reading it becomes a chore. After awhile those sex scenes just became boring...and the story doesn't even start to get interesting until the last 30 pages when stuff (i.e not sex) actually happens...and even then it's all pretty predictable...
so if you're looking for constant sex with little to no plot, then this is for you! Otherwise you're probably better off skipping this one.
