I believe I got this free on the apple book store so I didn’t really know what to expect. The synopsis made me pick it next to read as I really didn’t have anything I was looking forward to at the moment

I was pleasantly surprised and rather enjoyed this book. Apparently part of a larger universe based on looking at other reviews but this was my first trip into it

It was a quick and fun read. Little heavy on the foreshadowing so a couple things were kinda over foreshadowed but didn’t take away from the story.

Looking forward to reading more of these.

I am a big fan of Denise Grover Swank. This is the first Urban Fantasy genre book I have read. I was skeptical but I truly enjoyed the book and was sad when it ended. I can’t wait to get to know Piper and the other characters better in the next book!

There were a whole lot of things with this one that just never quite fit together into a single whole.

If you like books in the paranormal genre, this one needs to be on your to-read list. It was fast-paced, engaging, an interesting storyline. Can’t wait to read the next book!

This is one of my favorite authors and I have been so excited to for this spin-off series. This book is written in Piper's POV. After losing her parents, she is raised by her wealthy grandmother but does not feel destined to proceed with the path that she thought was intended for her. I loved Piper's character but sadly for me, I felt this book seemed a bit slow moving. While I understand Piper had a lot to go through and adjust to, I almost felt like the change in her personality was a bit too drastic from beginning to end. I am looking forward to see how the rest of the series ties in to TCK series.

How amazing!

I love this new series that bleeds into the Curse Keeper series!!! Abel and Piper are amazing characters and I can’t wait to see how their story goes.

Wow. Where do I even start with this book? Piper is amazing. She’s such a strong female lead who I love. The story line is flawless. With just a hint of romance, it’s got everything you could want in an UF.

I have to admit, I was a bit nervous at reading this book. Denise completed the original Curse Keepers series with such an awesome yet open-ended conclusion, I worried that this spin-off would not fill the uber-awesome shoes of its predecessor. Holy wowza, was I wrong! I am so incredibly thrilled that I took the chance on Of Ash and Spirit!! It was fantastic. Denise did it again! I loved the entire story, from beginning to end. Without giving anything away, I have to say that this storyline was very different than the Curse Keepers series but still very enjoyable. And I love that it drew bits and pieces from it. Plus Denise tweeted that Ellie and Colin will be appearing in the next installment of the series. I am now on the edge of my seat, waiting for the spring so I can get my hands on that one, too! Thanks for continuously entertaining us with your amazing words, Denise. :)

I like the story about fake ghost hunter Piper who suddenly develops the ability to really communicate with the dead and discovers a hidden familial legacy as a demon hunter. I thought the pacing and action were good but found my self sighing with weary disappointment at the appearance of the garden variety mysterious hot guy that she is immediately drawn to who knows things but wont tell her for no good reason.
