In Julia Wolf's Through the Ashes a tragedy unleashes a chain of events that causes those left behind to rethink everything they think they know for a touching story filled with emotion.
This work had a lot of little twists that kept readers on their toes. Asher and Bex both were not who they appeared to be upon first glance and their often unexpected revelations and actions kept the pace of this story fast and interesting. Set up to be enemies it did not take long for the audience to see that things were not that simple and their relationship was never black and white. The attraction between this couple was more than superficial and the more they got to know each other the more they grew to like each other despite some very contrary behavior on both their parts. Part of the appeal of this work was how in moments of cruelty it was impossible to fully vilify anyone. The depth of pain both Asher and Bex felt was complex and the lack of guidance they each had in navigating incredibly difficult circumstances showed this author's skill and deep understanding of her portrayal's motivations.
One of the traits that Julia Wolf has shown in her Savage Crew series is versatility. Even while she maintains the core of who she is as a writer her distinct style is able to mold around new sub genres with ease. Bringing her insight and sensitivity to vastly troubled characters she proves she gets "it "and them sharing moving stories with compassion. Through the Ashes was so much more than a bully romance and a great addition to any one's reading list!
