<\/a>“Ember Malloch has no idea her life is about to get turned upside down. Besides the fact that she sees the dead on occasion, she lives an ordinary mundane life.<\/p>\nHer sister warned her not to provoke the spirits, but Ember has a mind of her
\nown and she defies Becky at every turn. Now, her life as she knows it will be
\nchanged forever, as an unbridled strength is unleashed upon her.<\/p>\n
She will have an awakening like no other as she learns her past, and discovers \nEditiorial Review: Daly, who has experienced tragedy in her own life, sets the scene for Ember, a girl in middle school who experiences the disturbance of having her family taken from her.<\/p>\n She is left with her sister and just seems to amble along in life until she attends a party as a teenager.

As you read through this book you realise that it will be the first of many to come.Many characters are mentioned in it briefly that will be fleshed out in sequel books in relation to Ember’s life.<\/p>\n The book is suitable for older children and teenagers, and dare I say I can see something of the Harry Potter series about this book and its focus on one individual who although from a dysfunctional background has a natural gift for magic and the paranormal.<\/p>\n So I would without a doubt recommend this book if you’re a fan of the mysterious and spooky mixed with adventure.” -Review by Nick Bishop<\/p>\n ~Beginning of Chapter One~ Extract Zeb had a look of hesitancy. \u201cNow wait, I know that sounds weird, but let me \ufb01nish, please.

\n“Dusgadh: Essence of Life by Margaret Daly is a powerful assemble of teenage angst and the paranormal, concerning the life and times of a young girl called Ember who always felt like the odd one out.<\/p>\n
\nMy family was everything to me; it still is, I guess. Unfortunately, my family consists of only two people now. The substance of my life was taken from me. Ripped right from under me, like a Band-Aid from a bleeding wound. The burning \ufb02esh is still tender, just like the memory. It\u2019s a day I try not to remember, but the shattered remnant of the girl I once was\u2026she won\u2019t let me forget it. The image plays like a scene from a \ufb01lm, forcing me to relive the worst day of my life.<\/p>\n
\nI wouldn\u2019t have struggled. I\u2019d never wanted to surrender to anyone before, but still, there was a memory tickling at the back of my mind.
\nSlowly, he began telling me everything he knew about me, right down to being able to communicate with the dead. How did he know that about me? I knew nothing about him, yet we somehow shared a past.
\n\u201cWho spoke to me in the park?\u201d My words brought us both back to reality. \u201cWas it you? Where are we?\u201d Questions started pouring from my mouth, \u201cHow do you know me so well?\u201d
\n\u201cNo, that wasn\u2019t me, Ember.\u201d Zeb paused, then smiled at my puzzled look and continued on to answer another question. \u201cI have known you since 1896.\u201d
\nMy eyes widened in disbelief. \u201cThat\u2019s\u2026impossible.\u201d I pushed it aside, believing he had simply misspoken.<\/p>\n
