rosa's Reviews > Ashes of You

Decided to read the book with the highest average rating on my tbr, and oh, this book! I can't lie; I was a bit dubious of the plot going in - Hallie has decided to return to live in the small town where she was held captive by a serial killer who was never caught - seems smart, right?

But this story had all the feels and the most lovely characters - I really enjoyed reading it. I got genuinely teary-eyed at parts, and I just couldn't put my Kindle down. I've not read any other books in the series but I may have to pick them up now.

It's not perfect - the reveal was a little obvious, and I feel like there needed to be a bit more relationship buildup between Lawson and Hallie, but I still think this is a great read and well deserved of its high average rating.

Essential reading for anyone who loves the single-parent trope.
