Evil Never Dies #1
ASHES
After Tobias Brandt dies suddenly, his eldest son, with the support of his siblings, writes an obituary and has it published in the local newspaper. But instead of celebrating their father’s accomplishments and honoring his memory, it’s a scathing, contemptuous, and revealing account of the legacy of damage he caused.
Absent of closure, Tobias’s death ignites an unforeseeable sequence of events that his surviving children are forced to unravel, one perilous upset after the next.
Ashes is Book 1 in Sahar Abdulaziz’s series Evil Never Dies—a suspenseful page-turner about a dysfunctional collection of people navigating the complexities of grief, hypocrisy, and power.

Ms. Abdulaziz has written a novella with characters who have varying degrees of evil. Or do they? As the saying goes ...do two wrongs make a right?
Something the reader will need to decide after meeting the cast of this book. When is revenge revenge and when is it leveling the playing field for past or present misdeeds?
Will you like each character? Will you understand them? Sympathize or be disgusted by the actions taken?
There is a great deal necessitating thought in the slim volume. Read it, think & decide.
