I received Kingdom of Embers as an ARC. I was pleasantly surprised. Alena is a unique 17 year old girl. She just wants to be a normal teenager her senior year. But it is hard to be normal when you are anything but. She lives in a world with Vampires and Witches. A world where her mother is queen. In the City of Angels nothing is as it seems. Alena struggles to fit in. Between her human friends, boys, an absentee father, and juggling with her own identity crisis she has a ton on her plate. She tr

It's no secret that I adore Tricia Copeland's writing skills, I completely fell head over heels for Being Me series.. this book though has topped them all!
I love Alena!! I don't want to say too much as I don't want to give anything away, I'm just demanding that you all need to read it!
I love the character developments, detailed, yet not overpoweringly so.

Being left hanging is not always frustrating!
The Kingdom Of Embers by Tricia Copeland is a YA fantasy novel. Its book 1 in The Kingdom Journals series and ends in a cliffhanger. Appropriate for all ages.
Alena is a forbidden being. She is a witch/vampire hybrid allowing her the strength of both species. She doesn’t know her father and lives with her mother who is a leader in the vampire community. Alena starts her senior year at a new school and runs into problems with a bully. Her pale skin and ...more

What the heck is this book? I am so torn about liking since, but I think I'll lean towards the no side, unfortunately.
I totally loved the new look at doing vampires and witches. Eating raw or low-processed foods was so interesting, but then towards the end we see that blood is still a factor yet Alena didn't ask about it ever even thought it is a huge part of vampire folklore. We also weren't really told abo ...more

I received a free copy of this book with the option of leaving an honest review.
I found Alena's character intriguing; half-witch and half-vampire, she has magical abilities and shares many of the same traits as vampires. She has vampiric tendencies which she keeps at bay using aromatherapy and a special diet. Her character alone gives the plot an original twist that makes it stand out from the rest of the YA vampire novels available.

Tricia Copeland is a lull master. Not in a bad way either but in a sense if calm and then literally you blink and all hell has broke loose. Lol
I loved this book. More than I thought I would to be honest because Alena was good. But almost too good. You know the kind,the ones we all roll our eyes at and just "ugh". Lol
But there is more than meets the eye with Alena...and you really don't want to mess with her. If you do, it's your funeral.

It's hard to have a fresh spin on vampires, but Kingdom of Embers offers just that. Whatever you think you know about vampire lore, toss it out. Alena is a vampire-witch hybrid, and even she doesn't completely understand those rules, mainly because her mother hasn't shared much yet.
As Alena searches for answers, she begins to realize how much she has to learn about her role in the Universe. She connects with a childhood friend, who is also more than he originally appeared, and challenges those ...more

FANTASTIC new take on vampires and witches (tough to do these days)! More detailed review to follow after finished devouring the next two!
On her senior year of high school, Alena is forced to change schools once again. Now having to make new friends and adjust to her new school, she also struggles against her family’s secrets and her own nature. Alena was born as a forbidden creature. Her mother is a vampire and her father is a witch. A tense truce lies over both creatures that could be easily shattered at any moment.

I quite enjoyed this book. I wasnt sure at first, as it began a little clumsily, but it quickly got into a stride that was very entertaining. The premise was quite unique, not the usual witch/vampire story, which was a breath of fresh air.
The characters were well developed and very believable.
I did find the ending a little disappointing. It was abrupt and I felt that it was missing something important.
I received a complimentary copy from VRO in return for an honest review.

would love to share this book with my book club. The story is the first in a series and would love to read anything else Tricia Copeland will write. Take a chance. I did!

4.5 stars! This is a fun YA read that combines supernatural girl hiding in high school, unique species powers, a mysterious background and secret-hiding parents, and then the intrigue of potential bonds and mates, with a little love triangle action. I enjoyed Alena's story and her old timey lifestyle at home mixed with her flirty girl lifestyle at school. The tension is strong once the story gets going; the beginning has a lot of detail, which helps to build up the background even though it gets

I picked up this book hoping for a new take on vampires; a new spin on the mysteries of them living among us. The author does not disappoint. Being a mom of high school daughters myself, I found Ms. Copeland balanced well the element of reality with the elements of magic and mystery surrounding Alena's character as she tries to find her way into adulthood.

Where do I even start my review?! Kingdom of Embers has me guessing the whole book on the bond that two students have with eachother. Not only that, but I was wondering when the other shoe was going to drop. Alena is still trying to find out who she wants to be when she turns 18. On her own accords she meets Hunter.

Tricia Copeland has never failed to entertain me. I loved her Being Me Series and Drops of Sunshine.
The Kingdom of Embers; Kingdom Journals Volume 1 was a unique blend of vampires and witches that I never saw coming.
The beginning of the book was a slow start, but once I got into the book I could not put it down. It had that uncommon and mysterious feeling only a book that wraps you in could bring. By the end of the book I was wanting to know more and more of the story and why the characters wer ...more

I'm always happy to find a new take on vampires and this is no exception. Alena is an intriguing character and I felt a connection despite her being basically the very opposite of who I identified with in my school days. Aside from some rather questionable choices, she's quite likeable. I'm curious to see where this is going.
I received a free copy of this book from the author via Voracious Readers Only. I thought this book was pretty good. It was a little slow at times and then ended quickly (and on a cliff hanger!) but overall the story kept me interested and I’m looking forward to reading the next one to see what is going to happen next.
I was a fan of Tricia Copeland before I read her latest book, but now I'm an even bigger fan! This book did not disappoint. The storyline was great as well as the characters. I am very interested to see where she takes the next book and will be eagerly awaiting its release!
Unique characters, interesting plot, & overall pleasant read.
I'm the author so not sure it is fair to rate my own book but... this story when through a couple of renditions and continues to grow in the follow up I am writing right now. Alena is a extra-ordinary being who is just starting to discover who she is and wants to be when she meets Hunter and then Theron. I hope you love this story and the characters as much as I do!
