1




Emily's Heart
Release Date: 11/26/13
Summary from Goodreads:
**The long-awaited final book in this popular magickal, action-packed teen series! Seventeen-year-old Emily Adams unintentionally unleashed a shadow god's dark energy power into the world and started an Apocalypse. But Emily is also the only one that can end the dark god's reign. Though the powerful faerie magic of the golden torc is still coiled around her arm, self-doubt threatens to undo her.
Emily wants nothing more than to feel the soft kiss of her one true love, but he won't even speak to her. Her first crush is still quite dead and her best friend remains a prisoner in the dark god's house of nightmares. A growing legion of black-eyed shadow people, devoid of conscience, roam the streets. Emily needs help now more than ever, but redemption seems far off indeed as she faces the expanding darkness alone. Emily will need an army of her own if she is to save the world from being taken over by pure evil.
But will a small band of Lucent geeks and freaks be enough to send the dark god packing? Amidst chaos and ruin, will love blossom in Emily's Heart?

EMILY'S HOUSE
4 STARS

I think what caught me interested in this was that it had Celtic in it. I like reading more about Celtic especially about the sidhe more than anything. I think I've only read a few books regarding the sidhe in the YA genre and the rest more on adult.

Emily's House is very original and every time I read the next chapter it kept me on guessing what would happen next. I'm glad that Ms. Natalie Wright included a note on how some names should be correctly pronounced since I myself maybe reading it another way but it isn't.

I was more interested in the story of the actual Order of Brighid and of Saorla and Cathair than actually Emily. Emily kind of annoyed me through out the whole book with her constant whining but what I like about her is that she was able to do the right thing despite what she really wanted to choose. She's very lucky that Jake and Fanny got her back and that they stayed and support her till the end. Each of them different from one another but at the same time they just clicked.

If I didn't know there were 2 books after this I thought it would have ended just the way it is. So I'm off to reading Emily's next adventure as she tries to be the next priestess of the Order of Brighid.
