i blew through the first book, but this one took me a little longer. honestly poppy’s internal struggles and descriptions are very lengthy compared to actual events happening. 
plenty of spicy scenes though ;)

i love hawke (casteel) and poppy’s relationship. i can’t wait to see them grow together in the series

If I were not so busy with school, this book would have been finished in a day or two!

I don't know how she did it, but this was better than the first book. I was hooked from the beginning of the first sentence. I highly recommend that you purchase all books at one time because now I don't know what to do with myself. 

I did have to read the last chapter twice... but thats on me; I stayed up until 4am to finish the book. LOL I suggest to stop reading when all the words are blending together. 

I can't wait to read the next book!

the second book gave me some serious slow ass burn and i LOVED it. it got a smidge repetitive at times but i was able to overlook it for the sake of ✨romance✨. casteel blew my back out every time he opened his dimpled mouth and i am hanging on by a thread and very satisfied. not gonna lie i got confused by the world building at times, it was doing the mostest in its attempts to really get me lost BUT i think i got the gist of it in the end. overall, i really enjoyed the second instalment of the blood and ash series and can’t wait to pick up the third once i get back home 🥰
