Roses are red. Violets are blue. You came for me. Now, I’m coming for you.A year ago, I thought my whole world had ended. My family was dead. The life that I knew had been changed forever. Now I know that was just the beginning. I faced down the devil who destroyed my family and I fucking lost. I’ve become the thing I hate most in this world and there is no turning back. Even a contract with a … Even a contract with a demon couldn’t save me from the creature that now inhabits my body.
Arrius Priest is planning something big. Something that threatens not just the society of hunters my parents belonged to, but the existence of the human race as we know it. Even though none of us are completely human anymore–not even Maverick–we won’t abandon it. I may have failed once before, but I won’t fail again.
It takes a monster to destroy a monster, so a monster I will become.

Ashes to Ashes by Lucy Smoke / Lucinda Dark is an amazing story to read. This is book number three in this amazing series that I can not get enough of. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about fantasy and patanormal romances.

Ashes to Ashes is definitely everything I wanted from this series! Not only did I get more sassy Barbie, but got to see her relationship with Torin and Mav grow. Barbie really came into her own in this book and seeing how she handled the challenges of being turned. This series has made me laugh out loud while reading it wayyy to many times, and I love the insults Barbie uses. I am sad to see the series end, but so happy with the actual ending. If you like heroines with sass and spunk then this series is DEFINITELY for you.

This book & series is witty, entertaining, and just fun to read! Lucinda Dark serves up another dark, humorous book. I highly recommend this trilogy.
What a great ending! Just like the previous books in the series, it is also a full-on emotional rollercoaster. There were certainly twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting, and this is epic conclusion that we’ve all been waiting for delivers above and beyond. I also love that the ending is also left open for more to come in this world. Maybe we’ll see some of our favorite characters again!
THE END OF AN ERA!!! #getstaked….. you’ll get it once you’ve finished this AMAZING series. Barbie started her journey with only revenge on the mind and as an extremely headstrong woman with an AMAZINGLY SNARKY take no poop attitude she ends off her journey with….. you guessed it….. exacting revenge!!!
Lucinda Dark really took us on a rollercoaster ride of epic proportion
I can not say how much I loved this series. I read book one and was immediately at a loss since book 2 was not out yet. And when it came out I made myself wait until book 3 was out and read the whole series from beginning to end in 2 days. I loved it so much I could not put it down.
Barbie is a total badass and her charter development was perfect. The relationship to her men was perfect and well developed. These was a real story with emotion which was amazing. Who doesn’t love a good revenge story that has some steamy sex along they way.
The twists also in this series were not anticipated and were a great surprise that kept me and I am sure any who read it hooked into the series. The succubus demon being in her was perfect and comical at times. I hope to see more series like this because I loved it!
It was well written and developed. It would even say realistic because it made me honestly thing that there could be vampires and the way this is written it could be real. I highly recommend this book series.
The closure of the story of Barbie, Torin and Mav comes to an end and like the other two books full of adventures, romance and cliffhanger moments. This book treats acceptance beyond everything apart from friendship and love. Thanks Lucinda for this journey.
This was an amazing read, that I could not put down until the last word was read. It moves along at the perfect speed, not too fast nor too slow making for a relaxing comfortable read. You cannot help but fall in love with these characters and you cant wait to see what they are up to in book 3. The story is amazing and will keep you turning the pages as you cannot wait to see what will happen next and when you finish the book, you will be wondering what do I read now? This has to be on your list of books to read, no doubt about it.
This was a Great ending to an engaging series. The journey of Barbie Steele along with Torin and Mav is one that is not to be missed. It has everything a fantasy read could ever need. I highly recommend this as a great read. Happy Reading!

Less than a year ago Barbie lived with her vampire hunter parents and brother. She was homeschooled and isolated from the world. Now her family is dead and she’s out for revenge. She lives with the family of her mom’s one-time best friend. She’s a hunter herself, however, she’s no longer fully human. She made a deal with a demon and now houses her within her body and then after being nearly killed she was turned into a vampire. So now she’s a human-demon-dhampir hybrid. Oh, and she’s in love with two men, one a dhampir, the other part demon. And she still wants her revenge but now it’s a matter of life or death. Kill or be killed. Arrius Priest has plans to take over humans and Barbie plays a role in that. He must be stopped.
Barbie, Torin, and Maverick. This story is entertaining. There’s always an element of surprise. When Barbie isn’t fighting the attraction her relationships with Torin and Mav are fantastic. Steamy. These guys are wonderful. They put her first in every way. I like silly little Olivia. She’s actually a really good friend. I like Barbie’s demon and vampire. Now I know I am in the minority but I don’t like Barbie much of the time. I find her immature and too confrontational. I love the hunter in her, it’s her personality I take issue with. She behaves too mean and nasty. Torin, Mav, and Olivia humored her bad tamper way more than I would. Every once in awhile her inner voices would convince her to control her and I would really like her during those times. The rest of the time, I was just not a fan. As much as I loved this story, I would have loved it so much more if Barbie’s character had been a touch different.

I’ve really enjoyed this series, and I thought this was a good conclusion to the trilogy. This installment picks up essentially right after the events of the previous book – well, two weeks or so after. We finally see Barbie start to grow/mature a little and start temper her independence with the knowledge she’s no longer alone, plus she finally decided to stop fighting her attraction to both Torin and Mav, so we get some delicious steamy scenes. She still has her Barbie moments though, don’t worry. There’s a good amount of action in this one (both in the bedroom and out ), some heartbreaking moments, and angst. My only complaint is for all the buildup to it, I thought the main showdown scene with Arrius was over too quickly. But all in all, I really enjoyed both this book and the series, and would recommend both.
Our heroine set out for avenge and lost. Now she has a second chance and the stakes (pun intended) are even higher. Can she and her friends make it happen this time, or will they go down for the final time?
This is book three in the series. While it works pretty well as a standalone, I recommend reading them in order to understand the situation.
This is an action packed urban fantasy story with a fast paced plot and lots of action. I found the story to be well written and easy to read with high stakes and lots of action. The characters are well developed and really come into their own in this final book of the series. I like our heroine’s snarky attitude and the support of the heroes. The story itself is fast and furious, grabbing hold and keeping you going to the end, making for a highly enjoyable story.
Highly recommended.

Barbie wakes in a crypt weeks after her turn to now be a human-demon-dhampir hybrid, which comes with her own set of complications. She has to deal with feeding issues, emotion control, her relationship status, and coming to terms with her vampire and demon personas. Eventually Barbie acknowledges and accepts her relationship with both Torin and Mav. She finally accepts her personas in order kill Arrius. The group is always a few steps behind Arrius the whole time and falls into his trap. The ending is an ultimate showdown with an unexpected twist. The storyline is well written and moves at a break neck pace. All of the characters have grown exponentially, that they’re basically kicka**. I’m sad the the series has come to. an end.

Fantastic Thrilling Conclusion!
WOW! This is a fantastic and thrilling conclusion to this amazing series. Barbie and her kickass crew take us on the ultimate rollercoaster ride of adventure, love, suspense and intrigue. The whole series is one thrilling and bumpy ride from beginning to end.
Barbie is still the very sassy, extremely witty and total badass women we have come to love and admire even if she is physically facing some new and emotional challenges. She has her crew to help her and to maybe finally seek the vengeance that she is looking for.
Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down. This series is a must read for anyone who likes strong female characters that kick butt and take no prisoners! Highly recommend.
Barbie (FMC) is one of my favourite characters. Full of sass and sarcasm. With Satrina (her friendly internal Demon and source of giggles) they both had me cracking up throughout this book and most of this series. Add to that one Vampire – Torin and one hybrid – Maverick (who were both by the way hot in this book) and the last book in this series was absolutely killer!! Quite literally. It was just a sheer joy to read. Loved it
I loved this book so much
A fantastic end to an epic series.
I am utterly speechless. This series is an amazing conclusion to a fantastic series.
Adventure, betrayal, love, kick ass fight scenes, suspense that has your breath catching in your throat, a kick ass Female MC with a sarcastic attitude, two hot male boyfriends/mates, evil bad guy that make you want to reach into the book and deal with him yourself.
Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down. This series is a must read for anyone who likes a kick ass book.

Wickedly wild! Lucinda delivers one unique approach for this impressive storyline and gripping plot, ratcheting up the thrill at a smooth flowing pace, thrusting this baby into a tizzy with a life altering, mind-blowing culmination. A raging tempest chocked-full of nailbiting events and inexplicable circumstances thrusting those swirling emotions into play front and center. Anarchy, escapades and havoc run amuck riding the rail, fusing this baby together piece by jagged piece seamlessly. Unveiling a foray of drama, secrets, intrigue, danger and mounting suspense, blasts this baby into the eye of the storm, breaking it down, throwing it into a tailspin with staggering results.

The characters are authentic and realistic with personalities and depth that blew this baby wide open and exposed in all it’s glory. The scenes are so vividly detailed and descriptive that it gives the illusion you were right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Remarkable job Lucinda, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Barbie is such an awesome character, I just love her grit. Add in Torin and Maverick and you have a kick butt story!
