There is a lot that goes on in “Ash to Embers”, an incredibly imaginative tale by debut author C.V. Larkin.  I found “Ash to Embers” to be unpredictable, entertaining, touching, and humorous.  Sio and Tian are damaged individuals who begin to feel for each other, and to heal through those feelings.  The healing feeling warmed my romance-loving heart.  They fit together perfectly, including having orgasms that leave mortals feeling jealous. The story is heartbreakingly sad at times, and violent enough to be engaging without leaving scars on me.Virgil is a standout character for me, because I am a Reiki Master Teacher and he is a healer.  Accounts of his technique are well-written and held up well under my informed eye.  That’s always a treat for me.C.V. Larkin is on my author list.  I’m looking forward to seeing where she takes the world of Courting Shadows.Gina Briganti, author of The Dreaming,a fine paranormal romance.
