Reviews with content warning for Torture - Ashes of You

What a beautiful ending to this beautiful series 😭 I've been waiting for Law's story since book 1 and this delivered!

Law and Hallie are so so perfect and I'm so happy they found eachother. They were both so sweet with the boys too 🥹 Big probs to Cowles for not only writing >10 y/os but teenagers and also writing them well, as a bigger sister to a 17 y/o boy, I can confirm the accuracy.

I found this series at a very dark and weird place in my life (in the hospital xoxo) and while things aren't perfect now, they're better and I'm so glad these books were there for me during it. The Hartleys definitely found their way into my heart ❤

P.S.: I feel like I can't really rate this book lower because of it (bc every romance has it) but jfc, does EVERY couple in EVERY romance have to end up w kids 🙃

MY HEART 😭 a million stars for hallie and lawson. their love and connection was perfectly perfect and what an epic conclusion to the lost and found series.

in this book we get single dad, she’s the nanny, age gap, and a tortured past. plus the way these kids crack me up🥹 i can’t say it enough, perfection.

if you haven’t already, add this series to your TBR! available on KU, although i think i need to buy the physical copies

Another 5 stars for Catherine Cowles. Her books are always great romantic suspense and what a way to finish the series.

But... After binge reading for of her books, I can say that the end starts to be a little bit repetitive.

This was an AMAZING end to the series. Hallie and Lawson were perfect. And now I don’t know if his story or roans were my favorite. I love how Lawson would always drop whatever he was doing to be there for Hallie and help her through her trauma. And Hallie the way her and Luke’s relationship bloomed was so well written. But Luke oh my heart broke for that boy. When everything he was holding on to came out I cried. And drew talk about comedic relief. The children really pulled this story home for me because Charlie was just the sweetest innocent little boy and the way they all fell in love with Hallie was beautiful. Honestly I was so wrapped up in the story line I didn’t even care that there was basically no spice. It was amazing and that serial killer plot twist didn’t see it coming at all.
