I read the first book, The Girl at Midnight, the first time years ago, and then I re-read it last year fully planning on reading this one right after but I got sidetracked and kept just not picking it up. But I decided to just finish up the series since I have all three books on my shelf.
Synopsis:
A battle has been won. But the war has only just begun.
Everything in Echo’s life changed in a blinding flash when she learned the startling truth: she is the firebird, the creature of light that is said to bring peace.
The firebird has come into the world, but it has not come alone. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and Echo can feel a great and terrible darkness rising in the distance. Cosmic forces threaten to tear the world apart.
Echo has already lost her home, her family, and her boyfriend. Now, as the firebird, her path is filled with even greater dangers than the ones she’s already overcome.
She knows the Dragon Prince will not fall without a fight.
Echo must decide: can she wield the power of her true nature—or will it prove too strong for her, and burn what’s left of her world to the ground?
Welcome to the shadow hour.

"Absolutely not," she said. "Nobody goes anywhere alone. That's what you said the first day we holed up in this dive, remember?"

Q: Have you taken a look at the website and app Litsy?
A: No, I hadn't heard of it before. I'll have to look into it.
Take a look...it is similar to Instagram, but the atmosphere is a bit more friendly and cozy. Fun book games and questions to answer too.
