Family of Fire #1
Extinguished
In long-forgot history, his kind were born. Throughout centuries they have escaped the notice and attention of the mortals around them. They blended in. Later, coming together as one large powerful “family”, they hid in the untouched corners of the world. Chimeras, they have been called. Cruel, heartless, fire-wielding immortals who have crept into obscure literature, though never accurately portrayed.
But he was never one of them. He was the outcast. Eventually, Ambrose chose self-imposed exile over living with the savagery of his family, and for over a hundred years he found the closest thing to peace he thought possible.
But when his only link to his kind, his beloved sister Candace, fails to contact him for decades, he decides it’s time to return to the family safehold. He’d only begun his journey when he is attacked and nearly destroyed by one of his own. In a moment of self-preservation, he seeks help from a mortal woman, relying on his family’s most important edict: Remain hidden. But even as Caitlyn saves his life, he knows it will cost her.
Now Ambrose must do the impossible, keep this woman safe while getting the answers and vengeance he needs.

Great book!
Extinguished, the first book in the Family of Series, is a good and interesting read. You are very quickly pulled into the lives of the main characters. The author did an excellent job of writing a unique story and making characters that you truly feel invested in! I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

seriously one of my favorite books. I can't wait for the next one to be released. the characters are so well written and easy to identify which I think brings the book more to life for the reader.
