Synopsis

In a world of shadows, anything is possible—except escaping your fate.Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn't mean he can change his fate, no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn't: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other—and nothing but ashes in between.

The Beautiful Ashes by Jeaniene Frost is book one in the Broken Destiny series. This is my first book by Ms. Frost and I am yelling at myself wondering why that is so. This book was fantastic.

Goodreads review by Anne on November 05, 2014

Um... So. I didn't love it. Basically, you have the Angel/Demon thing going on. And, unfortunately, those stories aren't my favorite. I'm not saying I never like them, but I sort of groan inwardly when I realize that's what the story is about. I'm not telling anyone not to read it, but it just wasn't f......more

Goodreads review by Michelle, the Bookshelf Stalker on June 22, 2014

This was a book that had so much potential and then died. Too bad. I think Frost didn't know what she wanted to write, a YA novel, a "New Adult" book or an adult novel. Thus, she satisfied no one. It's just Blah Barbie gone badass with a side of information overload and a hunk of man/boy beef on the......more

In this demon world there is no sun. A dark premise, with humans as slaves. Or worse, as meat. Ivy and Adrian work well together as......more
