Fire & Ice: Recalled by Cambria Hebert

Another stop in the Fire & Ice hop is finally here. This time I am featuring Cambria Hebert and her all new book Recalled that has its release day today. So I will just let her take over.


I am extra excited to be here today! Not only is today my stop here at Mostly Reviews for Fire & Ice but it’s also release day for my new book Recalled!
Wooo Hoooo!
So today’s post is all about this Fiery Brand new read!
Let me tell you a little about Recalled.

Love or Death? A simple question really. The choice seems obvious. But. What if you never knew love, what if your life was spent just trying to survive? What if you knew your fate before you were fully grown?

And then you died.

And you were given another chance. A better chance.

This new life depended upon one thing: your job. And so you agreed. You thought it would be simple. You thought it would be cut and dry.

It never is.

And now you are left holding the fate of someone else in the palm of your hand and you have to make the ultimate choice.

Love or Death?

In honor of the release Recalled is available for a special limited time price!
It is available where all books are sold!

To further tease you about this fabulous book (if I do say so myself, lol) here are a few teasers that give you a little glimpse into the world of Recalled!

Teaser #1
Even though I knew he probably wasn’t anyone to be afraid of, I couldn’t look away as I walked. There was something about him that held my stare.
And then he smiled.
It was the kind of ornery smile that told me he probably wasn’t as innocent as I thought. Distracted by his unexpected behavior I slipped, my heels sliding right over a patch of ice. I braced myself against the hard sidewalk, but I never hit it.
The stranger caught me around the waist, his touch triggering things inside me that I hadn’t experienced in a while. It was quick, almost fleeting, but yet carried the impact of a blizzard.
And then he spoke.
“Easy there,” he smiled again and I was dazzled. “It’s a long way down.”
~Piper from Recalled

Teaser #2
I looked up “ways to die” on the internet. I didn’t find any ways to possibly kill a Target, but I did learn I wasn’t the stupidest guy on the planet. Apparently there was a waiting list for that and it was very, very long.
~Dex from Recalled

Teaser #3
He wanted to know my secrets. I almost told him. I almost told him everything. Lying out there in the Alaskan snow hadn’t been cold. It was warm. We’d never been that close before. Sure, I always felt a little pull between us, but tonight it seemed stronger I felt like I might get a glimpse of the man he seemed to hide.
I almost admitted my secrets. I thought about it. But I knew in that moment I wouldn’t be able to stop at one. They all would’ve come tumbling out of my mouth. The way he looked at me through the dark… I could feel his stare. And even though my hands were gloved, I swear I could feel the heat of his skin against mine.
For a moment, when he touched my cheek, I thought he might kiss me, lay his lips upon mine, and that the northern lights would’ve become just background to the show of colors and feelings swirling within me.
But something held him back. Just as something held me back.
I wasn’t quite sure what it was, but I wanted to find it. I wanted to erase it so the only thing between us was the beating of our hearts and the barrier of our skin.
~Piper from Recalled

My Review
Cambria's new book didn't disappoint. This is set in a completely different world from the Heven and Hell Series. 

Recalled is the story of Dex and Piper. The moment they met cost Dex his life in order to save hers, but then something unexpected happened. Dex didn't really die. Instead he got a new job, a new house, a new car...oh, and a new body. He is Death's latest Escort, which only means he has to kill people so that Death can collect their souls. His first target is Piper the girl that costed him to lose everything. 

I really enjoyed the story of this book. How death had people doing his dirty work. How Dex would try to kill Piper a million times and then save her a million times. I loved the struggle inside of him, trying to decide who he is and what he is supposed to do. Dex is definitely my fav male protagonist from Cambria's books. He was so good, even though he thought he wasn't and he was really struggling with his mission to kill Piper.

On the other hand we have Piper. In the beginning I didn't really know what to think about her because she was a bit moody and depressed. I guess watching someone die for you can do that to a person. But after she met Dex, in his new body and started falling for him and having fun with him, she turned into a person full of life. Someone that I wasn't sad Dex lost his life for.

I didn't know what was going to happen in the end and I had my worries. But it turned out the ending was my favorite part of this book. Brilliant. Everything about it was brilliant. Oh, and it takes place in Alaska. How cool is that? It's my first book set there. Anyways, to conclude this book is BRILLIANT. This lady, Cambria Hebert, is a genius. Can't wait for more in the series and possibly a bit more of Charming, the other Escort we met in the book, who turned out to be pretty descent after all.
