Falling Like Ember

by Christina L. Schmidt

Falling Like Ember asks what if music could fill the infinite between two souls? Sixteen-year-old painter Lux Tazo once had paramount plans for her future; falling for musician Ember Sweeney was not one of them. The prodigy and the headliner of his band, Falling Like Ember, speaks in song titles and writes lyrics about Lux. Just when they finally take a chance on each other, tragedy takes her to a crossroads called Boreloque. Ember fights for Lux back home in Briar Heights, while she struggles for her very soul. Will they break down walls of expectation and fear, through the power of music and love, and find each other in a place that defines and unites them? Can Lux and Ember move through infinity and find each other in the darkness?

Pay attention to the music. Listen to the playlists and chapter titles. :) I love (and sometimes hate) this book with all of its imperfections. I wrote it for myself, just as a hobby. And I like the story that was in my heart for so long. It’s part of me. And I’m glad I shared it, because I do believe it’s always worth sharing a message of positivity, hope, and growth.

This was a cute YA romantasy. I probably wouldn’t have ever picked it up if I hadn’t recently met the author. The main character drove me a little crazy but I think she was supposed to. Love a message about the power of music.

Christina has created a parallel, imaginary world with funny and smart characters. The playlists and songs bring back good memories from the 2010’s indie and alternative scene. A great story for young adult readers!

A vibrant and imaginative book with a reality / fantasy plot that keeps you turning pages until the end. Filled with interesting and likable characters, a variety of music references to suit any taste, the tale is artfully told and beautiful!
