It took me maybe 18-20% mark on my kindle before I really started to like the story. I had a really hard time getting into this book. There is a lot of fast paced action once you got into the book a little ways. I didn’t particularly love how stereo typically cruel her foster parents were but you get over it because so many other things start to happen that they fade into the background very quickly.
Zoey grew up really bad off in the foster system. (But the Darkness Series is still my favorite.)
I thought this book had a very different feel than the Darkness series. They are very separate, with all new characters. But you absolutely do not need to read the darkness series to get this one. It really added to the atmosphere throughout the story, and it was a cool throwback that fans of the Darkness Series would get. Which I thought was the perfect crossover between the two worlds. The Collectors is set in the same world as that one and the electrical storm caused by the Dae in the Darkness series is what has rocked Seattle, where the main characters are on the run in City of Embers. As you may know, Stacey Marie Brown’s Darkness series is one of my favorite New Adult paranormal series. Note: This book may be unsuitable for people under 17 years of age due to its use of sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and/or violence.Ĭity in Embers is the first book in a new paranormal action series, called the Collectors. They embark on a journey, running and hiding from both the government and fae, both of which threaten their lives and those they love. The electric storm connects her to a ruthless fae, a Wanderer named Ryker, whose dealings expose them to even more trouble and danger. When devastation hits Seattle, Zoey's whole world is turned upside down.
She was raised to think of fae as beasts that feed on humans and want to destroy them. The work never registers on her sympathy radar. Because of this, the DMG hires her to work as a Collector: catching, researching, testing, and using the fae to save human lives. The man she loves.īut there is something unique about Zoey. After high school, Zoey is hired by a special government agency, the Department of Molecular Genetics (DMG), where she meets the other reason to remain: Daniel, her co-worker. When she is placed in her “last-chance” home, she finds a reason to stay and turn her life around: her foster sister, Lexie, who is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Zoey Daniels has been tossed from foster home to foster home, where she grows up fast and tough.
