Review: History of Fire

History of Fire by Alexia Purdy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Secrets Hidden In The Past Surface

This series must be read in order. The first book is The Withering Palace. The second book is Evangeline. The third book is Ever Shade. The fourth book is Ever Fire. The fifth book is Ever Winter. The sixth book is The Cursed. The seventh book is Ever Wrath. This is the eighth book. It is also considered to be the first book in a spin-off series. I can't wait to read Ever Dead!


It came as a shock to Benton that he was born into a family of powerful Elementals. Studying his family's varied history has only made him more curious about how many others like him are out there in the world. If Elementals are such an old race (like Faeries) why has he never met one? What happened to all the other Elemental families? Are they the last ones left? Will he be able to keep his family, small as it is now, safe from whatever dark forces that hunted them in the past? From the Unseelie? Will he ever feel like he belongs anywhere? Or will he always be the consummate outsider?


This is Benton's story, from his point of view. It explains his take on everything that has happened since his mother regained her memories pretty much. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to read more! I never realized how amazing a character Benton is.


•••This series, while a spin-off/companion series, would be lost if not read AFTER the parent series in my opinion•••


***This series is suitable for mature young adult through adult readers who enjoy dark modern fantasy action adventures filled with mystery, intrigue, thrills, horror and a bit of romance of the forbidden variety :)
