EXPLICIT RAPE WARNING.

This book contains explicit rape. And y'know, if I knew that were on the table, I'd probably work with it, but I didn't, and I didn't, so consider me fairly pissed off.

It's probably written as well or better than the previous books in the series, but you'll pardon me if I don't sing its praises. ( )

Emberly helps her phoenix mate be reborn, while trying to keep all those trying to kill her or force her to do their bidding off her back while she tries to find the notes to the red cloak virus. So much going on, it will keep you turning pages right to the end and wanting more. ( )

I liked it

It's a good continuation of the series. Keri Arther is a good story teller but I have some trouble with her writing style. I may be a bit knit-picky but she uses former and latter too much and some of her terms for sex are a little annoying. ( )

I gave it 3.5 stars

The Phoenix is so interesting to me and ASHES REBORN threw in another reason why I wouldn't mind being one. Who wouldn't want to be able to be reborn into yourself again?

I continue to like the characters in the Souls of Fire series. I like some more than others, but they are all well developed and bring something to the storyline.

I hate to say it, but I have to be honest. The romance between Emberly and Jackson is boring me. Maybe that is what the author is going for and if so she is doing a great job, but I don't enjoy them together as a couple at all anymore and I keep waiting for Emberly and a certain someone to get over their hurt and give it another shot.

My only real issue with this series is that there is a little too much going on. There are multiple different groups with multiple different issues and it can get a little confusing at times. My only issue with ASHES REBORN is that there is a rape involved and I didn't feel like it was taken as seriously as I expected. I understand that people react differently to things of this nature, but the worry wasn't really for the person that was physically raped, but for another character. It could just be my issue, but bothered me, so I had to mention it.

I had it in my head that ASHES REBORN was the final book of the series which isn't the case and I look forward to seeing how everything ends when the end comes.

Ashes Reborn (Souls of Fire #4) by Keri Arthur is an amazing fantasy book that is unique which is refreshing. A phoenix, vampires, mystery, action, suspense, intrigue, and more. Great fantasy, plot, and characters. I haven't read the other books but I didn't feel lost at all. Thanks NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. ( )
