ASH 2.0
The mission was supposed to be simple.
Of course, the past has a way of complicating matters.
Surviving the revolution had devastating costs, yet Ash’s resilience guides her to build a new life on Xeiryn. But after a glimpse of the past, one chance encounter changes everything.
After a year of searching, Kade’s finally reconnected with Ash—but she’s changed. The cyborg before him bears little resemblance to the woman he knew, and his devotion is put to the ultimate test.
Aligned by a shared goal, Kade is determined to get through to her. Ash, on the other hand, keeps her distance—and her secrets.
When the truth of their mission is revealed, everything falls apart. Again. Now, on the run in a hostile galaxy with their lives at stake, Ash and Kade join forces. The lines between truth and lies blur even as they depend on each other for survival.
Loyalties, truth, love, and friendships will be challenged as the crew fights to escape Xeiryn before it’s too late.
Time changes all—but now, it’s running out.

I really loved the sequel to ASH. Walker’s character dialogue is one of her strongest skills, and it shines between vivid action scenes.
I’ve heard there’s more planned for the ASH universe, and each book will be an auto-purchase for me!
Highly recommend! This is a great indie-scifi that you just can’t find in bookstores anymore.

I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as the first book. A little too much YA romance angst for me. This slowed the pace a little. However, there was plenty of action and kick-butt laser battles to keep the interest up. Won’t say too much as I don’t want to give spoilers but the end was satisfying and left an opening for future books.
