Cinders of Yesterday Book Review
Thank you to LibraryThing and City Owl Press for a copy of this book! I voluntarily leave this book review.
What should have been a routine hunt, turned horribly wrong when Spectre appeared and murdered Dani’s partner. Many hunters have tried to take down Spectre, but the necromancer refuses to die. Now Dani is his new target as she chases down rumors of a weapon able to kill him. When her search leads to Dawson Maryland, she will cross paths with Emilie Lockgrove, a woman whose history is tied to Spectre. Together they will have to face Spectre, or die trying.
Cinders of Yesterday started off with strong Supernatural vibes. Dani is a tough as nails hunter, willing to risk her life to take down monsters. She moves from place to place, never settling for too long, chasing down leads. Sound familiar? Her attitude is sharp and her skills are on point. On the other hand, Emilie may not be a battle hardened veteran, but she isn’t helpless either. Both characters share a tragic past tied to Spectre and balance one another. The two make quite the pair as they use their strengths to survive.
Throughout the novel, Dani drops small facts about hunters and their culture. It’s just enough to give readers a taste of the world they live in. I would have loved learning more about Dani’s life as a hunter before the events of this novel. I am hoping for future lore drops in the next novel! But time is spent developing the town of Dawson and Emilie’s history. And Dani remains a dark and dangerous hunter, with a more mysterious past.
Cinders of Yesterday will give readers an action filled ride. The fight scenes are intense and no punches are pulled. The story is filled with suspense, drama, and close calls. There is even a little romance woven into the plot as well. All in all, this was an enjoyable urban fantasy read. Definitely for fans of Supernatural!
