Book review: The Muse, by Emma Scott


Darkness into light, this is what this book evokes in me.  Ambri was discarded, swept aside from the people who should have loved and protected him, so he turned to darkness.  Until he met Cole Matheson, who is all love and light.  And redemption comes in.

We met Ambri in the previous book, The Sinner.  He was Cas’ demon friend, and he was a pain in the butt, but ultimately, he helped Lucy save Cas and bring him to light.  In his story, Ambri is the same persona, blond and gorgeous, snarky and oh so refined.  I didn’t appreciate him very much initially, until he started to develop feelings and his humanity started to shine.  


Cole was adorable right from the start.  He was everything that is good, generous and giving.  The poor guy is taken on such a rough ride, but through it all, he stays firm on who he is and what he loves: Ambri.


Both Cole and Ambri were riddled with doubts, feelings of worthlessness, not being enough, not being worthy of love.  There were demons feeding them lies about themselves, trying to keep them in a dark circle of doom and despair.  I loved reading as Ambri begins to believe in love and that someone can love him above everything.


Emma Scott writes a brilliant story in that while one’s career is spiraling high, the other’s life is spiraling into doom.  There’s art everywhere, since Cole manifests everything through his paintings.  And everything is picking up speed! We’re taken on a turbulent ride, full of emotions and sexy times, but over all, full of the anxiety of what will happen.  And through it all, what I liked the most, is the conviction that love conquers all.


Of course, next time I’m hearing voices in my mind, I’m telling the Twins to get lost!

Book review: KARMA’S KISS, by R.S. Grey

The best part about this book is that it’s a small town romance, and I love this trope.  Everyone knows everyone else’s business, gossip tra...
