Astrid Stone #2
Carved in Ashes
She thought the worst was behind her, but the past has a way of catching up.
When Kai shows up in Kansas City—tempting, stubborn, and impossible to forget—Astrid starts to realize that saving her sister was only the beginning.
Along with Kai come enemies who want her dead, secrets she was never meant to uncover, and a connection she’s no longer sure she can resist.
As war brews and the fragile balance between realms begins to crack, Astrid must decide not just how far she’s willing to go—but who she’s willing to become.
Carved in Ashes is the addictive second book in the Astrid Stone Trilogy, full of forbidden romance, slow-burn tension, magical stakes, and a broody dragonborn hero you won’t forget.

I am falling in love with these main characters. As they reunite in Kansas City, and immediately begin to take on new danger, reaching her from the realm Astrid thought she left behind, they also begin to open up and understand each other.
The author has continued to effectively build the plot into a perfect balance of action and steamy romance as Kai and Astrid fight to protect the Realm of Light, to which she has become quite literally connected.
Astrid’s magic development is intriguing.
The story is fast paced with surprising twists.
The banter and tension between Kai and Astrid is sweet and steamy.
And the Kansas City references are quite fun for a local.
I encourage you to pick up book one, Found in Embers, and get started on this trilogy. I’m really excited for book three!

Amazing
Oh my gosh! Sitting on the edge of my seat reading this book. Gosh its so fast and amazingly great! I hope Lyric listened to Astrid. At least thought about what Asked said. I'm afraid Lyric is going to be betrayed.

Intrigued as to where the story is leading. How te book ends only leads me to believe the story will continue. Well I need to know about Kai.
