Scorned Ex Wife: Queen Of Ashes
"I'm done talking." I gathered my purse, the signed papers, Rose's photo. "Done pretending. Done being the good sister, the perfect wife, the daughter who never complains."
"Where are you going?"
"Away from you. Away from her. Away from everyone who thinks Camille Lewis is someone they can use and discard."
My phone buzzed, Rose's smiling face lit up the screen. Right on cue, coming to play her part.
I declined the call and walked to the door. My phone buzzed again. Rose. Then my mother. Then Stefan. One by one, I blocked them all.
Every connection to the life I thought I had to live.
I looked nothing like the polished, proper wife Stefan Rodriguez had married.
******
Camille Lewis was the forgotten daughter, the unloved wife, the woman discarded like yesterday's news. Betrayed by her husband, cast aside by her own family, and left for dead by the sister who stole everything, she vanished without a trace.
But the weak, naive Camille died the night her car was forced off that bridge.
A year later, she returns as Camille Kane, richer, colder, and more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Armed with wealth, intelligence, and a hunger for vengeance, she is no longer the woman they once trampled on. She is the storm that will tear their world apart.
Her ex-husband begs for forgiveness. Her sister's perfect life crumbles. Her parents regret the daughter they cast aside. But Camille didn't come back for apologies, she came back to watch them burn.
But as her enemies fall at her feet, one question when the revenge is over, what's left?
A mysterious trillionaire Alexander Pierce steps into her path, offering something she thought she lost forever, a future. But can a woman built on ashes learn to love again?
She rose from the fire to destroy those who betrayed her. Now, she must decide if she'll rule alone… or let someone melt the ice in her heart.

Struggled to the end for nothing
This was a weird one but I liked the plot. The execution was terrible. This book desperately needs an editor to weed out the inconsistencies and redundancies. But, I held on, hoping against hope it would be worth it. Just a new author struggling but with a vision. As far as I can tell the vision is unrealized. The book just ends. Not a cliffhanger, nothing to make me come back.. it just ... ends.

The story starts out good, te plot is interesting and then you start finding little inconsistencies, repeated lines, little plot holes, until they aren't little anymore. In the middle of the story they apparently know who's working against them, helping Rose and then suddenly they have no idea who this person is when a few chapters ago they did.

This was on a reading app, so I wasn’t expecting much. Despite annoying inconsistencies (a character name change; decisions made in one chapter, then made again, as if for the first time, a couple chapters later; problems resolved, then treated as though they hadn’t been; a character identified as a traitor multiple times, each seemingly the first; another identified and removed, then reappearing many chapters later, as though he’d never been gone; etc.); a ridiculously effective villain, with no logical reason for her to be able to outwit and outmaneuver highly trained security, and the FBI; and too much repetition, I enjoyed about the first 80% more than I’d expected to. Then, a new conflict was introduced that made absolutely no sense in terms of timing, destroyed an enjoyable character, and was just unnecessary.
I’m writing this at about 83% completion. I’ve put too much time into it to drop it, but even if they resolve the current issue satisfactorily, my enjoyment has been fairly ruined. If the book had ended at about the 80% make, I’d have given it 3.5 stars.
I’m fairly sure this was written by multiple authors, and they should have kept better notes.
What a mess.

Great story, very well written
Enjoyed thoroughly, read from beginning to end straight through. Couldn't put it down it was soooo delicious. Take notes if wanting a master class on taking rage, internalizing it to make yourself a weapon for getting even. This revenge and just deserts at it's finest. I'm usually confronted with bad editing with this genre, but not this author and publisher. Only found one mistake and it was continuity, not the usual grammar and tenses errors I usually face with Asian writers translated to English. If publisher or author's team is reading this, error is in the Alexander POV where he's sitting in the car watching for Camille exiting art exhibition. The green silk Jos Posen dress was the charity ball, the art exhibition she wore midnight blue Dior. So he couldn't have caught the glimpse of green silk when she exited, it would have been blue he saw.

Good plot but repetitive
The story and characters here are fascinating and the story is well plotted so that it moves along at a comfortable pace. The problem is that the author tends to repeat certain phrases and descriptions so often they become uncomfortable.
For instance many luxury items are described as being “worth more than my car/apartment”. Maybe find a new way to describe the value of something? The heroine has plastic surgery and every time it is mentioned it has to be described in detail - “a sharper brow line, fuller more defined lips, sharper cheek bones…”. Do we really need a full run down each time her surgery is mentioned?
It often seems like words are being added just to up the overall word count and justify multiple books and not because the words themselves are moving the story forward. Aside from that, I have quite enjoyed the book and intend to purchase the next in the series, I’m just hopeful it will contain less filler.

All of the "books"in this series need a ton of editing. So many contradictions, actions repeated or completely forgotten that had already panned out differently and changed a couple chapters later?! The constant repeating of descriptions, scenes and statements sometimes from different characters used about different circumstances. Luckily found most chapters free on other sites so didn't have to pay to find out the completely over drawn out story that just kept finding ways to make people supposedly so smart to be billionaires fall for crazy and fake schemes...

enjoyed the drama
I loved the depth of the characters. The writer had me sympathizing with the main character and hating those who crossed her. I enjoyed feeling her anger and hurt from betrayal and am looking for to the satisfaction of revenge. Can’t wait to read the next installment

The store is not finished.
The story ends in the middle of the tale. I completely understand leaving an opening for a second book but this is making you buy the second to finish the first.

love the plot!!!
Love the plot but at times I want a faster pace. I hate cliffhangers mostly because I’m impatient and want this to play out especially with Mr. Pierce

needs editing
Story line is decent but repeats its self a lot sometimes literally. I’ve had to reread several sections to make sure I didn’t imagine it

I started reading this in ManoBook app but could only get to chapter 213 before the only way to complete the book was to get 630 coins. I was half way there when the coins were reduced to 118!
I looked up the book so I could see if it was continued to the end via a different app, luckily for me it was. I changed apps and finished reading the book..
The book was really interesting, with good storylines and characters. As you went through, you had chapters giving you the characters perspective as each scenario was reached.
As one trauma ended, another twist happened and you hiatcfoubd yourself deep into the story and wa rec to work out how you envisaged the story would go.
I e hours the book viy I do think the author should have expanded the chapters to give us each of the main characters ending because I felt a bit cheated in that respect.
I would have liked a better conclusion, like an epilogue just a short piece of the story dedicated to how their story ended, so like X and x stayed together and x, x etc.
Just a few paragraphs would have satisfied my curiosity and in my opinion, help bring the story to a better conclusion
A few paragraphs on each of them would have I feel, provide a better idea of the authors intended relationship conclusion, like stay together, end, uncertainty etc.
perhaps I'm wrong, but to me, leaving the characters ending in the air seems to say... I've run out of ideas as to what they did next.'
Shane, as I really enjoyed the book, many readers would as well. Hopefully, the author might realise that a last chapter would be better for the readers.
One last thing to add...despite the ending, it is definitely worth reading!
