The Authors Porch Book Review by CJ Ives Lopez

QOTD: What would you do if someone came after your child?

Ashes to Ashes by Preston Holt Wilder

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I resonated with the main character Evan in a bonding way.

I loved how the author created such a strong character, but she wasn’t an overbearing “I am a woman hear me road” kind of way that made you go, okay, don’t overplay the role.

The storyline was interesting and pulled me in. What started in tragedy kept building to the end and allowed me to understand so much about why the character had the undying strength to endure what Evan did.

When the author brought in the support character of Max, I was like, SWOON!

Every detail brought into this book was essential to the plot and made it more alive.

I appreciated the little dashes inside the killer’s mind, but not so much that it made me cringe because, let’s face it, sometimes going inside a killer’s mind may be too much.

This author hit on everything for me, and I will be reading more of their work because it is vivid and alive and kept me wanting to know so much more until the end.
