Loved it

This was a such a good series, highly entertaining, Barbie is a great fiesty herione and Maverick and Torin were just the right amount of ***hole that had me panting. If you are an PNR RH lover I definitely recommend you give this series a read.

I love the premise of this story, but I REALLY struggled with Barbie’s personality. She shows pretty much no character growth throughout the series. I get that she’s supposed to have the independent and bitchy vibe, but she’s SO stubborn and ornery and you really don’t see any softer side to her at all. She’s pretty mean to both Maverick and Torin and pushes them away every chance she gets (she doesn’t stop fighting their relationship until around 50% of book 3 and she continues to be pigheaded and reckless all the way until the end). She also constantly fights her demon and her vampire even when they’re offering sound advice. She’s mean and rude to her one and only friend for the entire series. I understand the character who pushes people away, but Barbie does that to the extreme and ultimately she never really lets down her guard. I just didn’t see any redeeming qualities in her character to offset her abrasive nature and give her a little more balance.

I anticipated we’d see a big breakthrough for her in this book, but the little moment at the time of the funeral wasn’t really big enough.

The actually story is really good though! I loved Torin and Mav. If you can handle a super frustrating female lead then I’m sure you’ll love the series.

Ashes to Ashes is definitely everything I wanted from this series! Not only did I get more sassy Barbie, but got to see her relationship with Torin and Mav grow. Barbie really came into her own in this book and seeing how she handled the challenges of being turned. This series has made me laugh out loud while reading it wayyy to many times, and I love the insults Barbie uses. I am sad to see the series end, but so happy with the actual ending. If you like heroines with sass and spunk then this series is DEFINITELY for you.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
