From Blood and Ash Book Series

From Blood And Ash Book Series

6/2/2021

I can't say enough good things about this series! I started reading the first book after finding From Blood and Ash in a video on TikTok. At the time, I'd just finished reading the Crave series and was really wanting another book with heavy paranormal romance. However, this book series is considered New Adult, which means there's allowed to be more descriptive romance on the page. When I first started reading From Blood and Ash, I was under the impression I was reading a young-adult book, so needless to say, I was surprised during the first 50 pages. LOL!

My Review

I read through the entire series in about two weeks. The third book isn't as good as the first book, but it was good enough. And I believe the fourth book is being released in March 2022. Typically, if I don't really like the first book of a series, I don't bother buying the rest. But I loved it, and immediately bought books two and three.

I absolutely enjoyed the paranormal element in the book, which I wasn't expecting. When I saw From Blood and Ash on Tiktok, I thought I'd bought an epic fantasy with lots of world building. And normally, those aren't the kinds of books I read, however, I gave this one a shot, and I'm glad I did. Yes, there's fantasy and epic world building, but there's also a huge paranormal element, which is right up my alley. I don't want to give it away by telling you what the paranormal element is, because I feel like that is a mystery readers will enjoy figuring out for themselves.

As for the romance ... oh my, oh my, oh my! I'd never read a book with as much detailed romance as this one, and I have to say, I liked it. So if you're not a reader who enjoys heavy kissing and much more, then don't read this book. But if you're looking for a spicy series, don't let this one pass you up.

From Blood and Ash Synopsis

Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Laura Thalassa.

A Maiden…
Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

A Duty…
The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.

A Kingdom…
Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.
