Awards/获奖情况:Adjusting to her new status as a Cambion and the rest of the fallout from Living Violet (2012), Samara learns just how complicated sharing a single body with an extra soul can be. Though she’s still grieving the loss of her friend Nadine, Samara thinks she’s getting a handle on living as a Cambion; she became a demon-hybrid when Nadine passed her succubus soul, Lilith, to Samara right before dying. While Nadine also transferred many of her memories, there are still unanticipated gaps in Samara’s Cambion knowledge, leading to bombshell revelations of important details that affect Samara’s life. These bits of information range from olive-oil intolerance to the concrete, permanent consequences should Samara ever consummate her relationship with fellow Cambion Caleb. That one in particular, along with other details of demonic puberty, showcases the drawbacks of being supernatural. The expansion of supernatural creatures and Cambion mythology is neatly knitted in with the other huge ramification of Lilith and Nadine’s hidden memories: Romantic baggage from Nadine/Lilith’s past coming back to haunt Samara, with potentially grave consequences for Caleb. The solid worldbuilding is complemented by Samara’s voice, which reads as more consistent and developed than in the earlier outing, and nuanced racial dynamics. The rock and the hard place Samara ends up trapped between stalls the plot temporarily, but a twist ending sets up the next book. The simultaneous broadening of world, story and character will please fans. (discussion questions) (Paranormal romance. 13-17) June 2012 issue of VOYA: While Burning Emerald can be read as a stand-alone novel, it would cause less reader confusion to first read Living Violet (Kensington, 2011/VOYA April 2012), the initial book in The Cambion Chronicles. This novel has minor sexual references and a moderate amount of violence, and treats demons and the occult as common parts of everyone’s lives. The cliff-hanger ending will leave many readers eagerly awaiting the third installment.”
