The last few months turned my already messed up life upside down. Munro worked his way into my life and heart only to rip it open with lies and half told secrets. Now all the cards are on the table, and I’ve never been in more danger, especially since my magic has disappeared. But at least I know who Hattie is and I know what she wants. I just wish I understood why. Then there’s this one little worry about how to keep everyone I love safe while trying to figure out how to stop Hattie from killing us all. Just another day that ends in “y”. Ash and Ember is the second book in the Scorched trilogy. This is an upper YA, full-length novel, that includes swearing, sexual situations, and violence.
