Blood and Ash Series: "From Blood and Ash" and "Kingdom of Flesh and Fire" by Jennifer L. Armentrout

In this episode of Date with a Novel, Dani & Sher discuss the book that started the binge reading which led to this podcast idea. We discuss the popular books from, Blood and Ash Series by J. L. Armentrout. We cannot recommend this book enough!
* Disclaimer: We made a mistake within our podcast while referring to "Hawke" as "Hunt" from the previous books in our podcast. Our apologies J. L. Armentrout, we seem to still be book hungover.
This podcast episode covers the first two books in the Blood and Ash series:

From Blood and Ash
Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

From Blood and Ash follows Poppy, chosen from birth, is a Maiden fated to ascend. Hawke becomes her mysterious new guard after supernatural creatures attack. Although she would rather find the evil that took her family, she never had a choice in the matter.
A Duty: She is meant to usher in a new era upon her ascension, but Hawke makes her question her duty.
A Kingdom: A fallen kingdom aims to rise again and take back what they believe is rightfully theirs through any means necessary.

From world-building, spicy scenes, the banter and more. This book had us laughing and smiling like idiots while taking us on emotional roller coaster. The intricate woven, ever developing story line make the story intriguing and J.L. pays off foreshadowing and little hints really well. We could not predict what was going to happen next and that is the true testament to a great writer. One who can give hints early on, that seemingly mean nothing then pay them off in big ways later on while making sense to the storyline they've been weaving.
