Ashes to Ashes

The Rites of Passage, Book 1

By: A.G. Harris

Narrated by: Scarlett Bell

I believed it all once, the fairytale, that is. When I was a teenager, I was like you, you poor naive thing. Stick around, and I'll show you how to become a better version of yourself. The villain. It's the villain that has all the fun. Corruption, lies, and anarchy are a minefield of excitement!

Boom, boom, baby!

You see, I was the commoner who fell for the handsome king. He promised me a future by his side and handed me a red rose, but the thorns cut me deep when I took it. The fantasy shattered, and the king killed everything in my world, including me...or so he thought.

I became a ghost dragged deep into the underworld that my uncle controlled. No longer human but now a pawn, a possession. For years I suffered the games until one day, my soul slipped free from hell and came back to wander the earth.

The thing about ghosts is they are not truly dead. They are left to linger and, most notably, to haunt. I would flip the roles and seduce the king this time. I'd take his kingdom, his power, and control. I'd crush him into ashes beneath my Prada boots.

Ashes to ashes, they will all fall down because I'm the plague baby, and I'm going to leave nothing but dust in my trail.

Great narrators!

I already loved this story and the narrators chosen were fantastic!
This is a great listen that keeps you sucked in!

Such a great book!

This book was so good when reading it listening to it gave it such a great dynamic that I missed when reading. The narrator was so good too. Usually I like 2 POVs when I listen but this narrator did a really good job voicing all the parts. Overall impressed and can’t wait for the next book to be done!

Revenge with a capital R

This book had a lot going on - in the best way.

We have dual timelines and multiple points of view. Not only do we get our main characters, but we get glimpses of some of the side characters as well. I think the most interesting part was the internal battles Nova had with Ghost.

There was a whole lot of plot going on as well. I will not go into it because I do not want to give anything away, just know it is quite revenge focused.

Revenge is a dish best served cold!

This story has a great plot and bada** characters! But be warned it ends with a huge cliffhanger! Thankfully book number two is already out! The narrator did a good job distinguishing between all of the characters. I enjoyed listening.

Loved this book!

I loved reading this book so listening made it even better! I can’t wait for book 2! This was everything I needed and more! And can I say this narrator is really good at guy voices??? So good!

LOVED THIS!

Looking at that cover, I had to listen right away. And boy, I owe nothing to this book, I loved every minute! I love a good strong female character, extremely cute friend, and masculine men. The story line was so unique to me. Romance suspense - I am HERE for it.

There are flashbacks put in just the right places. The suspense comes in and out, it’s like riding a roller coaster, and I friggin loved that.
