Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I was given a free copy of "Rain Falling on Embers" via LibraryThing. This book by Liana Gardner was very well written. It detailed the pain and anguish of a teenage girl as she dealt with loss and a new family. The characters were real, the pain she felt was real. I was disappointed when the book ended. I wanted to read more. Make sure you have tissue handy. This book is worth your time to read. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This book kept me riveted although I was somewhat distracted by the flip-flopping of Katie's attitude toward her family and new living situation. When 13-year-old Katie McCabe's father becomes terminally I'll with cancer, Katie is unwillingly shipped off to live with her uncle and cousins. Determined not to cooperate and hopefully be sent back to live with her Daddy, Katie deliberately tries to sabotage her life by pulling pranks that ultimately end up with her feeling guilty. However, every time she seems to reconcile with her new family, she returns to her bitterness by the next morning. During her first days in her new home, Katie makes a new friend, Logan, and a couple of enemies - Denton, the manipulative son of the man who thinks he owns the town, and Emma, a two-faced goody goody who hangs out with Denton. A rivalry develops which culminates in an act of revenge that could cost Katie her life. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. Thirteen year old Katie McCabe is a feisty troublemaker who happens to be fiercely loyal and truthful, too. It is just Katie and her dad since her Mama died when Katie was just a baby. After getting in one troubling situation too many, her dad sends her off to live with an Uncle she’s never met. Katie is bewildered and upset. After meeting Uncle Charlie and cousins Mark, Matthew, and Sarah she is even more lost. Feeling isolated and abandoned by her dad, she decides to cause more mayhem. Yet, just days later, they get the call that Katie’s dad died. Heartbroken, Katie withdraws. Equally troubling is the fact that she’s made enemies of some powerful people in town as well as the school’s bully. When things escalate, Katie is in a dire and potentially deadly place. The town’s bully kidnapped and left her in a forsaken environment. Will she survive? And, who will be there for her when all is nearly gone? Rain Falling on Embers is told through the eyes of a troubled, bitter teenager who is mad at the world. Her situation is heart-breaking but her actions are spiralling out of control. It is a story of survival to accept the fate given and carry on throughout its devastating ploys. It is a homage to self-discovery and finding those who love you without consequences and finding acceptance even when it is difficult. Some of the storyline is a little too unbelievable, but tweens and YAs will move past those odd encounters. The title hints at other Katie McCabe stories. I will be looking for them…I cannot wait to see what is in store for Katie. Thank you to LibraryThing Early Reviewers, Vesuvian Books, and Liana Gardner for this ARC.
