This series just keeps getting better and better. Beauty from Ashes was a lovely story of hope and redemption. The author does a great job of creating realistic characters and situations that engage readers from start to finish.
I was intrigued by the story in this book from the very beginning. I think the author did a fantastic job of showing readers what it was like for women without the best of reputations and jobs in the time period of the story. I liked how she conveyed to readers the difficulties the women faced when trying to break free and start a new life. She did this in a way that wasn't too brash yet wasn't sugarcoated either. It all seemed very realistic and believable to me.
I love the author's writing style and the way she paints pictures with words. It was so easy to visualize the settings and events taking place in this book. While reading the author's books I always forget where I am as I am whisked away into a very real feeling fictional world.
This book could be read as a standalone but I wouldn't recommend it. This is a fantastic series and I think readers will get more of each story if the series is read in order. This is a quick, easy read and one that shouldn't be missed! Happy reading!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author and was not required to write a review. All opinions are mine.
