Review: From the Ashes by Xen Sanders
From the Ashes by Xen Sanders (Fires of Redemption #1) Released: January 2, 2017 M/M Paranormal Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi First of all, I really liked this book.

A Promise of Fire was one of my favorite reads last year and I'm so happy to say that the follow-up lived up to all of my expectations.
