Fallen Ashes by T.F. Walsh – a Review
Description:
As the last of her kind, Fallen awakes in a holding cell, but being locked up is the least of her problems.
She’s been magically bound to a cocky Queen’s Guardian named Saber. Because Fallen is the last dragon shifter in Tapestry, she’s on everyone’s hit list… especially his… but she doesn’t have time to die by his hand. Fallen has to find her life mate in four weeks or else all of creation in her world will be destroyed.
Saber never asked to be brought to life. He certainly never wanted to be hexed and forced to transform into a mindless shadow assassin. Exiled from the Kingdom, he must rescue his stepfather from the Collector to prove his innocence. Otherwise he’ll be hunted and killed. But his plans are temporarily put on hold when he’s captured, imprisoned, and bound to a mysterious blond-haired vixen with a major fire addiction.
With time ticking away for Saber and Fallen, will the two be able to come together to defeat the Collector and save themselves, along with the rest of the world?
Review:
Fallen Ashes by T.F. Walsh captivated me within the first few pages. Dragon shifters, crossing over between worlds, a myriad of mythical characters, animals and creatures along with two main characters that are intriguing, funny and sexy makes this story a great read.
Fallen and Saber had both dealt with traumatic circumstances in their lives that shaped their character and personalities. Fallen doesn’t have the heart to take a life, she believes all life is sacred, even the evil ones.
Saber was created to be an assassin, he had trained for years with the Queen’s army. He was a protector, period. He would do what he had to do to protect himself and those he loves.
The shenanigans between Fallen and Saber are so funny, especially when she thinks that he doesn’t need to beat up or kill everyone that crosses his path. She thinks he’s a big bully and a brute. Fallen tries to convince Saber they need to make a plan to rescue his step-father and as the words are leaving her mouth, Saber is already kicking in the door. Add to that the fact that they are bond together with an invisible bond that keeps them from physically being more than 20 feet apart, their interactions are hilarious.
I enjoyed reading Fallen Ashes all the way to the very last page. Each character wove an intricate part into the storyline, making it all the more interesting. Do Fallen and Saber save the world? You must read it to find out!
