Cover Reveal: Embers and Echoes by Karsten Knight

This is the second book in Karsten Knight's Wildefire trilogy. I  haven't read it yet, but I did get it as a RAK so I'll be reading it soon. Wanna know a little about this book well read on. This is the description from the authors blog.

Every flame casts a shadow.

Ashline Wilde is about to discover that when you’re the reincarnation of a Polynesian volcano goddess, “new beginnings” are just a myth.

Leaving the fiery ruins of her sophomore year behind her, Ash travels to the sizzling beaches of Miami, hot on the trail of the little sister she’s only seen in visions. But her happy family reunion isn’t all palm trees and paradise. A cult of evil gods-on-earth, known as the Four Seasons, has kidnapped her sister to use in its terrifying new religion. Soon, the streets of Miami erupt in chaos and violence…and Ash gets caught right in the tropical crossfire

Ash isn’t without help, however. Unexpected romance arrives in the form of Wes, an Aztec god of night with his own vendetta against the Four Seasons. As memories of Ash’s previous life begin to flicker into her dreams, the boundaries between ally and enemy, life and death, and love and hate all bleed together. And when a mysterious trickster from her past reappears to derail her new quest, Ash must choose between the echoes of a once-forgotten yesterday and the embers of an uncertain future.

Because when old flames return from the dead, even a volcano goddess can get burned.

WILDEFIRE comes out in paperback August 21, 2012.

Waiting on Wed: Wildefire

Sorry, I haven't been chatty the past day or two. I figured I would do another WoW this week. (I'm half way through two books so the reviews will come shortly) Which is hosted by Breaking the Spine. This week I chose Wildefire by Karsten Knight.

Ashline Wilde never received an instruction manual on how to be a 16-year-old Polynesian volcano goddess. If she had, it might have contained helpful warnings such as:

• Dreaming about your (thankfully) mortal boyfriend may cause your bed to spontaneously combust
• Oven mitts should be worn at all times during heavy make-out sessions

Instead, Ash has to learn these life lessons the hard way as her dormant powers erupt at the most awkward times. In the wake of a hometown tragedy, Ash transfers to Blackwood Academy, a boarding school nestled in California’s redwoods, where a group of fellow gods-on-earth have mysteriously convened. As if sophomore year couldn’t get any worse, her storm goddess older sister, the wild and unpredictable Eve, resurfaces to haunt Ashline. With a war between the gods looming over Blackwood, Ash must master the fire smoldering within her before she clashes with her sister one final time, which leads us to life-lesson #3:

• When warm and cold fronts collide, there’s guaranteed to be a storm.

I chose this because it sounds awesome, and the excerpt I read on Simon and Schuster was awesome. It was funny, and I adored the MC Ash (and not just because we share the same nickname) she seems like the type who won't take shit from anyone. You have to admire that in a character. The give 'em hell attitude. :) The other characters seem just as good, her older sister, Eve (who seems like a complete mess of problems) will definitely make the story interesting. It did have a few laugh out loud parts. Honestly, I kind of wanted to hit Lizzie and Rich too. If that doesn't sell you then what about the whole god and goddesses thing it's always fun to see others interpretations. :)

It comes out July 26,2011.

Can't wait!

MY NEW BANNER *points up* Thanks and credit to Small Review.

What book are you most looking forward to seeing published in 2011?  Why are you anticipating that book?Really I can only choose one? I actually read the first chapters of Wildefire by Karsten Knight,(I think I'm gonna like Ash and Her older sister Eve). Find the chp at Simon and Schuster, and Original Sin by Lisa D. and totally fell in love all over again with Luc, Gabe, and Frannie. Oh and Matt too. Sign up at Tors to read that chapter. Then as I've posted in a few other things this week. I read the first two chapters in Vegas Dazzle and was wanting to read more. :) Sorry I couldn't choose between these. I mean you get to read a few parts, and BAM! You're hooked. 

What is/was your favorite subject in school?

 When I was in school I would have probably answered this a completely different way then how I would now. I wasn't fond of any subject really. Math, science, and Social Studies were never for me. I liked art in elementary. Middle school I had a few computer classes that I enjoyed. In high school I still liked Art. The one of my years I had a teaching class where half the class we learned about teaching and the second half we actually were assigned an elementary school and a classroom to go to and act as a teacher for that hour or so. I loved that class. I had first graders, and they were the cutest kids ever. I still remember things I was able to teach them. I sat in reading groups with them, and listened. I had them write little stories. One story I had them write was if you were in the 3 little pigs story what would you make your house out of? They wrote and drew pcitures of their choices. I probably still have that stuff somehwere. Then come the end of the year they made little goodbye and thank you cards for me. I loved it. I remember one card imparticular that I swear it look like the child had written S-E-X on it.I wish I could find it and post the pic. Anyway off topic. I think now with all this stuff I've done. I would say english probably would have been a fun class. :)
