From Blood and Ash
by Jennifer L. Armentrout
This warrants a reread after reading other's reviews.

1ST READ (fresh off the shelf)
I need to reread when the 2nd book comes out or wait till the series is completed. I read too quickly that I cannot discern the differences being discussed in the JLA group I'm in.
There was so much info dump in the beginning that I forgot about it halfway. Poppy is an annoying character. She is, supposedly, reserved and sheltered but maaannnn, moments with Casteel/Hawke didn't seem like it.
I'm disappointed by how Poppy just let Casteel have sex with her even after knowing the reason he got close, even after she stabbed him then tried to run away. Then they had sex right when he caught her. Just why?! Good imagery, though. JLA is great at that.
Our main MC is too weak for this dude's penis and sex appeal, apparently. Also, I still want to know more why the duke canes her. I want to know the system of an Ascended. She mentioned the duke and dutchess being an Ascended yet how were they given the position as Harry and Meagan? Why was Poppy given to them to take care of instead of staying with the queen since she's the queen's favourite or something.
I feel like if she stayed with the queen, she could have met Casteel's brother and it would have been better if she got kidnapped there instead then try to trade her with Casteel's brother. I fee like she'll ease more into the Ascended being evil if they started out as great enemies first and all that. I don't know!
