About Emily's House

Fourteen-year-old Emily Adams has special powers she doesn’t want, a spiteful aunt she can’t escape, and a primeval legacy she knows nothing about. But when an otherworldly being materializes, Emily discovers the true purpose of her magical blood and of the danger that threatens to annihilate her world.

Dormant for over a thousand years, an ancient evil has arisen. This time, it will destroy anyone – or anything – that stands in its way. Only Emily has the power to banish the corruption once and for all.

With her two best friends by her side, Emily risks everything and embarks on a dangerous journey to Ireland and beyond. As the hour of world annihilation draws near, the fate of her friends, her family, and her world lies in her hands.

Can a teenage girl without hero credentials save the world? And will Emily find the courage to face her true self in Emily’s House?

Title Misleading

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

The title sounds like some kind of 19th C. chicklit a la Emily Bronte. That's why I've had this book on my Kindle for awhile, but haven't read it until now. Looking at the item, I see only "Emily's House" but not the (Akasha Chronicles, #1) part. If that had been on that line, I would have got to it sooner.

So, this is not a 19th C. chicklit. It's an exciting YA contemporary fantasy in the Celtic myth genre. It also has science. Mixing fantasy with science usually means science fiction, so maybe it's a bit of that genre as well.

It is not, however, a mishmash. I had to get some traction with Emily. She seemed like a deliberate underachiever until you get to know her story. This is a girl who's keeping her head down and trying to survive an uncaring father and abusive aunt. She doesn't know she's from a long line of Celtic priestesses. Boy, howdy, when she finds out, she goes from slump-shouldered bad student to flaming-haired Celtic goddess. Nice transition.

Now that I've let you know this book is not what the title suggests and that its heroine has plenty of moxie and ambition, then you can patiently work your way through the first few chapters while Ms. Wright builds the background and story.

Trust me. You'll like Emily (eventually), and I'll be reading the continued Akasha Chronicles now that I know all about Emily.

An excellent, fast-paced story - entertaining all the way.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

Other reviewers have given a good synopsis of the storyline so I will focus on what I really enjoyed. Having been young myself when my own mother passed away, leaving me with an emotionally absent father, I feel Ms. Wright has really captured Emily's feelings in the novel. The author has also invented a couple of friends for Emily whose personalities will resonate with teen readers.

I also loved the seamless blending of a fantasy world, with the real-life ones of Emily before she embarks on her journey. With lots of myths, magical creatures, clashes and good plot development going on, I read this in one sitting.

All in all, this is a wonderful story of a young girl coming to know herself through facing her own fears and doubts, while recognizing and accelerating her new-found strengths. A great YA novel.

very good fantasy story, well written and entertaining

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

A gripping tale which has elements of the hobbit and harry potter, combined with the teenager fears and doubts of a one parent girl. It will appeal to young -and not so young- readers who enjoy fantasy quests. There is also a subtle encouragement for self-discovery and the power of the mind. I'll definitely look out for Emily's trials, the 2nd book in the series.

An excellent read for all!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2013

I read the story first on Wattpad and purchased it to read with my tween son. Excellent for tweens, teens and adults (not girly) with a bit of history, friendship struggles and a mystic quality that keeps you guessing. I recommend purchasing Book 2 at the same time as you will want to read it as soon as you finish this one.

good, well thought out tale of magic, history and science. If you enjoy elves and sorcery, this would be a fine fit.

pleasantly surprised

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

Within the first chapter I was captivated by the vivid description of a Celtic world that seemed like something out of a dream. I could picture a beautiful party, and a secret love that brought about a generation of warrior women leading down to the courageous Emily. Although Emily doesn’t apply herself to her school work when it comes to a quest of epic proportions she goes full throttle. With her two best friends beside her, and an evil aunt behind her, Emily moves forward on an adventure that will reconcile her with a part of her old life and wake people out of their zoned out lives. Natalie Wright’s story and characters captivate and reel in the reading providing them with beautiful scenery and a large knowledge based of ancient history. Only bad points were to start things off I felt there was a little too much teenage “lingo”. It felt like a stretch with some of the phrases she was saying. Also, things happened very slowly. It’s not until halfway through the book that the real action starts happening.

Overall the writing was beautiful. The descriptions and the vivid images of the other worlds and other times came across beautifully. Natalie Wright is a rare writer; one who can tell you a story in detail with one a few paragraphs and you can perfectly picture it in your head.
