About this listen

All Gideon Bean wants is to be left alone to burn corpses in peace. Is that too much to ask?

Nothing exciting happens at Peterson Cremation Services–exactly how Gideon prefers it. All his life, he has seen things–scary and bizarre visions that weren’t really there. Working the night shift at the crematorium and days at Sheryl's Shell Shack lets him keep his head down and ignore the strange world around him. The last time Gideon reacted to one of his hallucinations, he ended up in a psychiatric hold. He can’t let anything like that happen again–it would break his mother’s heart.

Then suddenly, a woman with flaming wings and fiery eyes crawls out of a crematorium oven one night.

Dacey Menet is a Mythical who is reborn in fire. She’s investigating a series of local murders and disappearances, and she is enraged to have been one of the victims. Now Dacey needs Gideon’s help to catch her murderer.

Because it turns out his ‘hallucinations’ are real–Gideon Bean can see magic.

Do they live or work next door?

The characters are always strong and she shows us how the magical population may…just may be living and functioning right beside us!

Great Story

Just as good as her last series. Imaginative story, great characters, and the performance was spot on. Strongly recommend this book and all other Demarco reads. Hopefully the next book in this series is quick to follow.

Fantastic start!

Where to start? If you listened to Sophie Ffegle books you know the basics. This is set in the same world. I don’t wanna spoil anything but if you like Urban Fantasy check this book out. Can’t wait for book 2!

I’m addicted

I love the characters and how it’s all put together. I finished all of the Sophie books and just finished this one looking for more I highly recommend. I can’t wait for the next one to come out.

Supernatural

I enjoyed this new book by the author. It is similar but with new characters. I liked Gideon and Daisy. Janine Granada narrated this book well.

Gripping Dark Fantasy

I enjoyed this first book of the "Auras & Embers" series. The audiobook captured my imagination from the opening paragraph until the very end. Gideon worked nights at the "Peterson Cremation Services" where nothing unusual happened until the night that a living woman crawled out of the crematorium. The story had some fascinating twists. I liked all the paranormal beings that populated the novel. The characters were brilliant, unique, and strong. Janine Granda's narration was entertaining. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review which included my opinions.

so good, can't wait for the next one

I love being sucked back into the world of mythicals, and the Cascadia reference from Sophie Feegle was a surprise bonus. Seriously, I'd deliver coffee and pastries, even fold laundry, if that helped this author get the next book out faster! (but I wouldn't actually put the laundry away, that's a hard boundary 😏)
