What it's about.

Arianna Cruz has spent her life surviving.
Born into chaos, shaped by trauma, and haunted by demons she never asked for, Ari's world is one of shadows—until she builds a fragile version of peace: a stable job, three beautiful children, and a fiancé who offers safety, if not passion. But even on her best days, the ghosts of her past are never far behind.
Then comes Elías Rivera.
Mysterious. Dangerous. Magnetic.
One encounter with him threatens to ignite every part of her she’s buried—her fire, her desire, her rage. As secrets unfold and old enemies resurface, Ari finds herself spiraling into a world where pain and pleasure blur… and survival isn’t enough anymore.
When a chilling message forces Ari to confront the monster from her past, she does more than fight back—she takes control. With Elías by her side, the lines between vengeance and intimacy burn away, leaving behind only truth, heat, and reckoning.
But when you're born from the ashes, how do you know which fire will save you—and which one will destroy everything you've built?
Ashes of Her is the first in a gripping series that explores the raw beauty of survival, the seduction of power, and a love story forged in darkness.

My Review

Ari is a strong woman that has been through hell and still comes out on top. She is triggered and she is a fierce mother. She is a wild lover that knows what she wants and isn't afraid to see where things go with her choices. She is split between 2 lovers. She shoots straight from the hip. While I love this book so much. By the end of it I kinda want to hate Ari. But at the same time I have to give her credit for always doing what she sees as right for her.  I can step into her shoes and understand how sometimes one can dissasociate when you have alot on your mind. Sometimes its a smell or sound that takes you back. 

The sexual scenes in this book is not deep or smutty. I find it very classy and more implied then detailed. So that makes this book easier for older teen readers. Not explicit to where I would recommend it to only adults.  This book is raw and real and pulls you in with every chapter.

As a mom that has also been through my share of hell I can completely relate to her. I want to just hold her and be like we do heal. But in our own ways and not in a fast manner. I cannot wait to read more books from Kayla.
