EMBERS AND ASHES #1 Evie & Storm The chemistry between Evie and Storm is amazing. Their banter is so sweet, and I could instantly -while reading - feel this bond between them. The way they meet and are forced to be in each others company is on one hand kind of hilarious, and on the other challenges them and makes the reader get to know them differently. If it was just for these two, I would have nothing to complain about. Evies husband Though the storyline with Evies husband leaves me with mixed feelings. What does it say about her character that she continues to be with him out of obligation and comfort? I don't want to judge her, because I've never made the experiences she made, and I've also never been married - but I'm also here to rate this book, so I kind of have to give my opinion...at least regarding my feelings to that matter. So let's just say I have mixed feelings about her relationship with her husband, her husband in general and how she deals with all of that. I get that she feels like comfortable being with this guy rather than to risk getting hurt. Still, these scenes between these two leaves my stomach in a twist. 3.5-4/5⭐ 3/5🌶️
