From Blood and Ash

Can I just say Wow! I have been hearing about this series for a while and I have been wanting to read it so I finally started. Most fantasy books especially in long series start out slow but not this one. I was engaged the whole time. The forbidden love then enemies to lovers trope is interesting.

4.0 / 5

Overall I was disappointed with this book considering the overwhelming reviews it’s received. The plot twists weren’t twisting. Unfortunately, I was able to predict the plot as early as the 20% through. The dialogue and inner dialogue throughout the story (especially as you near the end) also feels really repetitive. I started the second book but stopped 15% through. The next book just feels like a repetition of the dialogue and dynamics within this book.

I couldn't even finish this annoying book. My goodness...this book is just terrible. This is just another vampire and werewolf book just named different. I can not understand why so many people are falling in love with the main male character, he's creepy. This book just fell flat, it was supposed to be a "spicy" book, but to me I just found myself getting the ick. No thank you.

My girl Poppy is popping off! This book was such a fun ride, giving me a mix of mystery, action, and fantasy. I loved following along, and I know I’m going to take my time with this series just to fully soak in every moment. There’s so much potential for where this story could go, and I’m all in!
