In an attempt to save Tyler and Matt, Lexi has made a deal with Scarlett. Now, she is forced to return to a house full of enemies, and she must take part in Anne's twisted games in order to buy herself and her friends time to find a way to void Scarlett's deal, and to protect the ones she loves as well as herself.
Only this time, Tyler won't allow Lexi to stay at the house without one of his own there to protect her. As Anne takes advantage of Tyler's request by manipulating Loren and Lexi to be around each other, more about a distant past is revealed, and Tyler learns the true meaning of being a maker's minion.

Today I declare myself a complete fan of this series. I love the writing style of the author. The transitions of the POV are easy to follow and give the readers a more profound insight of the story. I like Lexi's and Tyler's character, they are wonderful. The story gets more and more interesting with each book.
I never expected to get through book 3 as fast as I did. I couldn't stop reading I had to find out what was happening with everyone in the story. Nicholas is a royal pain and he is the one that you kind of want to like, but then again you have these feeling that something isn't right with him. Tyler is the one you have to feel so much love for and poor Matt he got the awful deal of them all. Then you have Loren who is one of the guys you want to like as well but feel indifferent about. Adrianne is one of the coolest vampires of them all. Travis is one amazing new friend for Lexi with some really cool links to someone else in the mix. Please if you have not read this series pick it up ASAP. Daniele Lanzarotta has an encrediable way of pulling you in and not slowing down with the story.
I was drawn back into Lexi and Tyler's world. Tyler continues to fight for Lexi, while Scarlett and Ann had other plans. The author did a great job detailing the emotions that each of the characters was going through throughout the story.
We learned more about Loren's past during this book. I'm still torn between liking the guy and not.
Travis is a hoot and a good friend that I am thankful Lexi found.
Matt, where to begin with him. His character goes through multiple changes throughout the book. He grows, then falls back some.
There were a few unexpected twists and turns during the story. And that ending....I didn't see that coming. I can't wait to hear what happens next.
I listened to an audible copy of the book. The narrators did a great job bringing this story to life!
OH MY GOD!!! This series is going to be end of me.... Daniele like to torture us ending every big with cliffhanger and holy moly the twist this book ended on!!! It left me speechless. I m loving this world soooo much and super engrossed in it. The author have made me a big fan of her writing with this series... This is everything i want in a book. Full of suspense, romance, twists, turns and oh the anticipation of what next! I finished this book in jus 2 hours i couldn't stop reading I had to find out what was happening in the story. The story pulled me in from page one and i was immersed till the end. Another superb addition to the series. Can't wait to read next book NOW!!!
OMG!! My head is still spinning from the ending. I’ve enjoyed how this book is more than what it appears. The characters are like a chess game and trying to figure out what is the next play. Several villains and who will be left standing. There were some plot twists that I didn’t see coming and it was great. That ending though!!
The narrators did a wonderful job portraying the characters. The tones and inflections used are easy to follow along and understand. Their voices kept me intrigued and listening to learn what happens next. Can’t wait for the next book!
Just when I thought I had this world under control Daniele throws a curve ball! I’m now left hoping the next book will be available very soon. A good performance especially Krys’ soft tone, it’s very soothing.
The story is great even though it had a plot twist I did not expect. it leaves me craving book four. I got this book for free and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Definitely drawn back into this world as the plot twists and thickens for Lexi! Divine Ashes is the 3rd in the Imprinted Souls series. The audio narration is enjoyable and makes for a great listen!

DIVINE ASHES is the third book in the IMPRINTED SOULS series by Daniele Lanzarotta. It follows IMPRINTED SOULS and BLOODLUST. In the first two books, readers met Lexi, who is torn between Matt (her high school boyfriend who died in a plane crash and who she thought was her soul mate) and Tyler (a new love interest who Lexi meets while she is spending time in Italy).
At the end of BLOODLUST, Lexi agrees to be a slave to Scarlett, an evil vampire, to avoid choosing between Matthew and Tyler. DIVINE ASHES picks up as Lexi's life becomes more complicated by her involvement with the vampires.
Lexi's slavery is delayed by Anne; however, she is still trapped with threats posed by Nicholas and Lars. When Matt moves into Nicholas' home, where Lexi is living, her fear of him escalates.
Fans of the series will speed through this exciting installment as they seek answers to questions raised in the first two books. Lanzarotta develops issues of family, friendship, and romance as Lexi struggles to decide whether Matt or Tyler should be more important in her life. The novel ends with a huge surprise that will leave readers anxiously awaiting BLOOD BOUND, the fourth book.
I absolutely loved it, but now I can't wait till the next book. It had all the perfect twists and turns to catch your attention. My favorite character was nicholas he was nice a jerk at times but charming were you kept wanting more from him. Matt is another main character he was ok didn't care for him to much and Tyler was sweet. Lexi is a sweet and forgiving girl but is prone to encounter disasters in her life no matter how hard she tries to make things better they keep getting worse. I loved the story.
Another fine addition to the series, with the mother of all cliff hangers. I clicked the button on my kindle to turn the page and THE END pops up, WTH, are you serious?! and I knw without looking that the next is not yet available on kindle, so I'm left tortured! Lots of suspense in this one, and I have to say, I have a love hate relationship with Nicholas - and mostly I dislike Matt, he makes some really stupid decisions! I can't wait to get my hands on the next one!
In 30 hours, I managed to read all 3 books and get some sleep and work in!
I won a free copy of this book from the free giveaway contests. This is the third book in the series so I ended up getting the first two also. Great read! Very easy to follow and just an easy book to get through. I will and have been recommending this series to everyone!
A wonderfull addition to the Imprinted Souls series! Another compelling do not put down book! I loved it just as much as Imprinted Souls and Bloodlust! And I cant wait to read the next one!
