Ma and Pa love her so much and all seems to be going well with Jasmine as she lives a fairly normal life with her boyfriend Beau, until demons appear and hunt her down.
I really liked the characters in the book. Jasmine, Beau, and Amon were my favorites. I felt like there were some slow parts with mainly the beginning and the ending remaining my favorites. The ending was a complete total shocker. I love the way Cassandra Fear Writes. I found it very easy to read from cover to cover. View all 16 comments. May 19, Dianne rated it it was amazing Shelves: The day she lost her father to death, was the day she lost her mother to an emotional death, it was also the day the demons came for her, all because of the blue flames.
That was soon to change on her eighteenth birthday when the gates of Hell unleashed a legion of demons to hunt her down, all because one monster from the underworld wanted her as his evil minion.
Above The Flames (The Flames Trilogy #1) by Cassandra Fear
Amon is a force to be reckoned with, powerful, ancient and filled with attitude and he is falling for Jasmine, the clueless pawn in another battle between good and evil. Clearly not entirely human, clearly unprepared for what Fate has decreed for her and clearly caught in a romantic triangle between the human boy who would do anything for her and this mysterious fallen angel.
The mortal world is on the brink of destruction and devastation as the demons gain strength with each kill ad it is up to a ragtag group of unlikely heroes to save the world from torment. Cassandra Fear has packed her world building, her action and an amazing plot into book one of what looks to be a fantastic new series.
The angst takes a back seat to the bravery and determination of one girl who finally learns why she is different and attempts to overcome the pain of loss while learning the power she possesses and why. Fascinating from start to finish, a touch of romance, a lot of demons and someone will have Hell to pay, if Jasmine has anything to say about it. Seriously, have you ever been on the receiving end of a strong willed teen?

The demons have won the war in Heaven, and have escaped from Hell, and are now killing humans to take over the world. I enjoyed all the action in Above the Flames, but I do feel like the same thing kept happening over and over. Good guys would be found by some demons, there would be some fighting, but both would end up getting free, so nothing really came of it, and this ha I really enjoyed Above the Flames!
Good guys would be found by some demons, there would be some fighting, but both would end up getting free, so nothing really came of it, and this happens a few times, so I was ready for the story to progress a little faster than it did. I liked that we get a glimpse into the demons side of things, and I getting the female and male perspective is great too. I think I would have liked Above the Flames to be a little bit more serious, everything and everyone was sort of comical, but there are some serious things going on, and I felt I would've preferred a bit more heart and soul to the story.
Humor is good, but a little less would have been better; especially from the demons. Jasmine is a human, who has a special power, and when she was 16, her father was killed trying to protect her from a demon, who was suppose to bring Jasmine back to Hell. Jasmine escapes, and moves in with her grandparents because her mom is horrible to Jasmine. The story jumps ahead 2 years, and Jasmine has kept a tight lock on her powers because she is afraid of what they might do.
I didn't really connect with Jasmine, she kind of got on my nerves. She did a lot of things without thinking them through, so she gets into problems all the time, and I found her a bit whiny and rude at times. I also don't like how she acts with the Amon and Beau situation, Beau is Jasmine's boyfriend, but Jasmine also has an attraction towards Amon. I actually don't mind love triangles, but I don't like that whole situation in this book, it was one of the low points for me, I thought it could've been handled differently by the author, and because of that situation, I felt any romance was seriously lacking.
The chemistry needed some pumping up! I still was rooting for Jasmine though, and I'm hoping it's the type of situation where she will grow as the series progresses.
What is Kobo Super Points?
Jasmine meets up with Amon when she and Beau rescue him and his other fallen angel friends from some demons. I didn't like how the fallen angels act, everyone in this books acts really immaturely, but I expect more out of the angels since they've been around for a lot longer, but they act like teenagers too; especially Lamia, I couldn't stand her. So, Jasmine and Amon and their groups decide to ban together to help save the world from demons.
The book does end without much resolution, which I'm not mad at because I was entertained through the whole story. I'm looking forward to the next book! May 13, Cristina rated it it was amazing Shelves: This was one of the most funniest paranormal books I have ever read - or at least read so far. It doesn't compare to anything at all. It is very unique and it draws you in from the very first page. To be honest, I couldn't turn off my kindle not even for a second because I wanted so much to know what was about to happen next in the book.
Above the flames is a very light fantasy read - even though, from the half of it and until the end, you'll have to pray for not getting nightmares or anything - that depicts the eternal fight between good and evil with some very funny characters and lines. The characters are well developed, strongly willed and ready to stand up and fight for saving the Earth from evil.
Since I brought it up, I must admit that, I mostly love the main heroine with whom the book starts, that is Jasmine - or Jazzy, how she's being referred to by her friends.
From the first page she stands up to protect her parents from the attack of one of Lucifer's minions - Bael. She is one of the bravest and determined female characters I've met in this book. Ahh and here's one that stood up in my eyes and gave me ideas from the moment he came into focus. Amon, one of the four fallen angels, that's been named to train the Angel Blessed, not that he''s already a fallen one but he is about to fall for Jasmine, too.
While planning their strategy to save the world, Lucifer's minions, atop with Bael, massacre a whole town in order to free their boss. In the process, Jazzy, looses her beloved grandparents and makes a promise to destroy each and every demon, but first she has to get to safety. Who would've guessed that some demons can be either so freaking stupid or so amazingly soft. If you read the book you'll see what I'm talking about here.
When's the sequel coming out? I want it now!!! I need to know how this ends. I have so many questions that need to be answered!!!! Sep 06, N. Light rated it really liked it Shelves: Poor Jasmine is having the worst 16th birthday ever. Her dad dies, her mother disowns her, she discovers she has powers and a demon tries to take her.
She escapes and moves to Idaho. But on her 18th birthday, an army of demons descend on Earth. Suddenly Jasmine needs to decide whether to embrace her powers and destroy evil or join them. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this paranormal romance story because of all that Jasmine goes through but the author does a good job balancing the good with Poor Jasmine is having the worst 16th birthday ever.
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this paranormal romance story because of all that Jasmine goes through but the author does a good job balancing the good with the bad. I connected with Jasmine immediately and simply fell into the story. A little slow in places but overall a superb story.

Above The Flames
However due to extreme violence I would recommend this book to more mature readers. I really enjoyed this book. From page one I was yanked into one heck of a story. This story never lost my attention until my eyes finally fell closed because of sleep deprivation; I would have fought to read more and keep my eyes open had my boyfriend not pestered me to come to bed. I did dream about the book, and woke up the next day after falling asleep at 6 am just trying to finish the last 40 pages; I picked up the book excited to finish the book, and I can't wait for book 2.
I am very happy to come across this book, because it was very unpredictable, and that made it more exciting, and had me flip page after page just wanting more. This book had great character and world building. I was able to attach myself to the characters and fall into the book feeling everything they felt. I felt like I was a part of the book. When there was fighting against demons I felt I was one of them fighting back with them. It is safe to say this book was pretty amazing. Mar 10, H.
