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.

Jamie’s review

I could not put these books down. BIG fan of the Blood and Ash series 🙋🏼‍♀️ it was a top 10 read for me in 2024. Fae and Vampires are the best combination.

I liked Poppy but the curious questions trope got really old. There was entirely too much dialogue and repeat dialogue at that. But Casteel. CASTEEL is a top 5 MMC for me. A good mix of Rhysand and Xaden. 🔥

I did feel there was too much world building and backstory filling and “that’s impossible except it just happened” moments. But it’s easily overlooked when you have page-turning twists and spicy scenes throughout.

Erica recommended this series to me after she recommended Zodiac Academy and it was just what I needed after the mental anguish that ZA put me through. She really redeemed herself and I felt I could trust her again.

Erica’s review

I read this FIVE (at the time) book series on a week long vacation with my family. 😬 Thank God we were lying by the pool – a lot. I could not put these books down. They consumed me in a way a series hadn’t in a while. I did read this earlier in my Romantasy journey so the twists were twisting and I’m so glad I wasn’t able to predict them in the way I sometimes can now.

The betrayal I felt was SO real….I was right there with Poppy wanting to get all stabby too! But Casteel. CASTEEL. (Side note: Jamie and I write these completely separate- we coincidentally wrote the EXACT same thing here 🤣). He does not get the hype he deserves anymore! He’s been pushed down my list too because we’ve had to wait TWO years between books 5 and 6, but he’s still at the tippy top of my Book Boyfriend list – now and forever.

JLA gets a little complex in her world/God building and explaining and linking it all can get a little dragggggy with the dialogue (not different from my reviews 🫣) but Poppy and Casteel + the lovable supporting characters have great banter most of the time so, again, consumed. Oh – and the spice is spicinggggg. TBD for an updated review once books 6 & 7 come out. Cannot wait! This is one of my all time favorite Romantasy series.
