A review by misshoneybug
Heir of Ashes by Jina S. Bazzar
4.0
This was such an enjoyable read. If you like supernatural urban fantasy with a lot of fight and action scenes and a bit of romance, then this is your type of series. The pace was perfect, not a single boring moment (poor Roxanne had to eat and pee always in a hurry). The story is interesting enough to keep you hooked without bringing too much complexity to it. I must confess I was expecting more romantic development or some kind of unforeseen twist, but that aspect remained predictable and didn’t advance as much (but can’t blame them, they were too busy trying to save their necks). However, this is the first book of a series, so I’m eagerly waiting to see how things will change in the next book.
I am so happy that this book didn’t have a dramatic mood. It was easy to bond with the characters and understand their actions, I found myself cheering for Roxanne and getting excited over her victories. I enjoy female characters that take life stubbornly head on, that wont bend down in front of adversity and most definitely wont go screaming for someone to save her. Even more, humorous and sarcastic replies, like the ones Roxanne gave all the time, made me giggle
I didn’t have any issue with the fight scenes, but you are advised that there are some mildly gore moments. Very mild in my opinion, but depends how much you let your imagination run wild. Like with any other "alpha male" character, our guy is a bit forceful at the beginning but then calms down. Rape is mentioned in the story and I think that's all the sensitive topics I found. If you have read other books with romance, alpha males/ werewolves/ supernatural and urban fantasy, you don't need any warning, you know the style, and this book is more on the light side of the spectrum. So, enjoy~ Oh, if you have read J.C. Daniels and liked Kit, you will probably enjoy Roxanne as well.
I received a copy from the author but that doesn't affect my review.
