First she died. Then she learned how to live.
Almost a year ago, Ashley Currigan’s life was destroyed by a monster long thought extinct, and she destroyed it in return. But in the process, she lost her lover, most of her friends, and perhaps even her humanity.
Now, she struggles to regain all three.
As she delves into a supernatural mystery intent on saving the lives of innocent children being kidnapped from their homes, Ashes will have to face even greater foes. As she races against the clock to recover Birmingham’s stolen daughters before it’s too late, she’ll do whatever it takes to bring them home safely and punish the monsters responsible.
But when one goes chasing monsters, one must be careful not to become a monster herself. And when you’re a monster already, every step can lead to a new decision of just how many lines you’re willing to cross in pursuit of “doing the right thing”.
Can Ashes save the lives she’s pledged to save without losing herself to the same darkness she fights?
Blood Red Ashes is the second novel in the Dying Ashes series, a gripping dark urban fantasy about a smart-assed dead lesbian and her undead adventures in the supernatural mixing pot of Birmingham, Alabama.

Green's Nightside will love this beautifully-written romp through the supernatural dark side of the Magic City. Views: 52

Their father had hoped the hidden girl would one day grow up to be a normal human girl and not the wicked creature mythology has promised, so he secretly spared her life as an infant.

In March 1987, Mercedes Lackey, a young author from Oklahoma, published her first novel, Arrows of the Queen. No one could have envisioned that this modest book would be the beginning of a fantasy career that would span decades and more than a hundred novels, with no signs of slowing yet. And among Ms. Lackey's many novels, few are as critically-acclaimed and beloved as those of the Elemental Masters. The novels in this series are loosely based on classic fairy tales, and take place in a fantasy version of turn-of-the-century London, where magic is real and Elemental Masters control the powers of Fire, Water, Air and Earth. Now the voices of other authors join Mercedes Lackey to add their own special touches to this delightful alternate history, in a world where magic is always just around the corner... Views: 52
