A Tomb of Ashen Tears #8
Talking with Ghosts, Part 2
Part 2 of 3
In the mafia war, there are no rules.
And in love, rules are meant to be broken.
Sal, Deacon, and Iris have spent years on the same team mounting an assault against their own blood. Their roles are defined. Their boundaries are drawn. And the trinity has been dancing on razor blades, taunting insidious devils, and making a mockery of their enemies.
Until now.
He is missing.
And the precarious house of cards is about to tumble.
Fear of the unknown forces the Lotus Queen and the Dark Prince together, but their fierce competition quickly tears them apart. The search provides few clues, and the outcome looks grim as tensions escalate, threads unravel, and questions quietly surface.
Who went too far?
Who played too hard?
Who deserves the blame?
Was the abduction nothing more than a distraction?
And if so, who is the real target?
Everyone is a suspect as Sal picks apart the case he never wanted to work.
Someone is guilty. Someone is a pawn. And someone is in grave danger.
And he must answer the one question haunting his every thought—who can he trust?

“That was the past; this is the present—you are the future I long to impress.”
Talking With Ghosts part 2 blew my mind. This book is nothing average, on the contrary, everything is it and everything I felt was deliciously violent the emotions and characters gripped me. They are passion incarnated. The raw love and hatred, the gut-wrenching violence had me excited and anxious for more. This is a story that deserved to be savored in order to experiment the depth of the layers that build the plot.
"This was the mafia— the butcher shop—where forget and forgive didn’t exist."
Sal, Iris, Deacon and the whole cast proved to be resourceful against adversity. The chessboard, in perpetual movement, revealed new strategies and loyalties. Sal's newfound maturity felt magnificent, sobriety is very alluring.
With each new opus, I am in awe of Iris as a woman wanting to thrive and play in a men's world. Her quest and expectations, her dreams touched me.
"I am the maiden, mother, and crone for my architect, spiritual advisor, and deranged warlord."
Mrs Samuels' brilliant prose worked it's magic on me. Every part felt vivid, the darkness still felt colorful thanks to the wide range of emotions her words instilled in me. I cried, bit my nails, laughed and swooned. I fell in love, and in lust all over again.
