Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes book 2) by Rowena Holloway

4-stars

Less You Know by Rowena Holloway is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series, this is a series I would highly recommend reading in order as this book follows directly where Bad Things Happen, book 1, left off. This is a wonderful suspense read that had me sitting on the edge of my seat the whole way through. It’s intricate, twisted, shocking, mysterious and very suspenseful, all the detail and the many POV’s made this a truly entertaining read!

With it’s action-packed and fast paced storyline I was able to read this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading, there was always something going on that easily held my attention. I look forward to continuing this series in the future!

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes Book 2) by Rowena Holloway was a gripping suspenseful read, that had me on the edge of my seat.

Wow, I was pulled in again by this talent author I was held captive by this heart pounding read. The twist, turns and plot bombs did a number on my nerves! At times I had to put this book down so I could regroup before diving right back into this mess of mystery. Before I get to much into this review, this is book two, and I highly suggest reading book one, as there are of course spoilers in this one, and much needed background info on our MC.

I don’t want to give anything away, and any bread crumbs might spoil this thriller for you. So I will tell you that the writing is on point, the detail is rich and engaging and the tone, it takes you in this dark almost edgy place, that you can’t help but feel like you’re being watched. It matches the setting of this read, and frankly I have nothing bad to say.

Overall this multi layered, feels ripping read will, as I have said, capture you. So please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval, that this book will have you on the edge of your seat, flipping pages to see what will happen next

Happy Reading

Less You Know: Gripping Suspense (Ashes to Ashes Series Book #2) by Rowena Holloway – Review by Angela Hayes.

Less You Know (Ashes to Ashes #2)Less You Know by Rowena Holloway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Less You Know is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series by Rowena Holloway. This is quite a gripping suspense, with drama, mystery, danger, secrets, action, discoveries, twists, intrigue, and lots of tension.
We met Charlotte Ashe in the previous book- and once again follow her on her latest ‘investigation’. Her journalistic senses drive her to try to prove Tyrone Garner, former football star, now turned property developer, and all-round Mr. Popular- is actually a huge fraud.
She, along with her friend Allie, engage in some reconnaissance in order to uncover ‘evidence’. But Allie has secrets of her own, and when she disappears, Charlotte not only feels guilty for placing her friend in danger, but will also need to get to the bottom of everything, putting all the pieces together. Secrets will be revealed. Questions will be raised. Charlotte will be tested, and left questioning everything she thought she knew.
This story is definitely clever, edge of your seat reading. I was immediately hooked and couldn’t put it down until I’d read every word. As I expected, another great read from this talented author!

Thank you, Ms. Holloway!

Wow! I just finished the amazing second book in the Ashes to Ashes series, “Less You Know” and it was crazy good! I LOVE mystery/thrillers and this book really delivered! Charlotte Ashe is back on the Garner case and this time she has help from Allie Brown, a woman Charlotte meets who has a way in with Garner. I don’t want to say much more because Rowena Holloway has woven a very intricate story and I don’t want to spoil a single thing! Most books I read like this, I can sort of guess how things will play out, but this time, I had no idea and I loved it! The twists were so good! Just do yourself a favor and make sure you have read the first book “Bad Things Happen.” But seriously, read this book series!! I can’t wait to read the final book, “From the Ashes!” I give “Less You Know” five obvious stars!!

Less You Know is the second book in Rowena Holloway’s Ashes to Ashes series. Charlotte is still hell bent on taking down corrupted tycoon Tyrone Garner, and airing out all his dirty laundry. But as Charlotte uncovers more about Tyrone, she digs her grave deeper and deeper. Before she buries herself she asks for help from her best friend Allie.

I really enjoyed this second installment of Holloway’s Ashes to Ashes series. It was just as suspenseful as the first book. Equally as engaging and filled with more twists and turns. I could not put the book down, and was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time. The writing was very captivating and well thought out. Everything was planned to the finest detail and executed perfectly. Highly recommend the series to anyone looking for a gripping suspense series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Less You Know was a great 5 star read and book two in the Ashes to Ashes series.
This is a great psychological thriller that pulls you right in. You won’t want to stop until your done.

Charlotte is a very strong and determined woman. Once she gets on the trail of something or someone she doesn’t stop until she gets answers and Tyrone is the one she is focused on.

When Charlotte’s friend Allie disappears, she starts looking for her, as she’s searching she uncovers some secrets about Allie. What will happen when/if she learns the truth about both Allie and Tyrone?

I was pulled in once again by the author’s writing, I felt like I was right there with the characters. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. I love a good story that has me thinking the whole time and I was surprised with the ending as well. There are several twists and turns. The secondary characters were great. If you’re looking for a great psychological thriller I highly suggest this series/book. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Wow! The second book in this series and I loved it just as much as, if not more than, the first one! This can be read as a standalone however I would 100% recommend reading book 1 also. The story was an exciting, gripping read that I had a really hard time putting down. The twists and turns in the story are probably amongst some of the best I have ever read; just when I thought I knew what was going to happen there was another twist. The author absolutely kept me on my toes and on the edge of my seat with this read. The ending was brilliant! I loved that I couldn’t even begin to guess what was going to happen in the story, I felt like I was trying to solve it alongside reading it. The dual point of view meant I got information from different characters as I was trying to piece together just what had happened!
A fantastic, gripping read one that I absolutely recommend! I am certainly looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was not so sure when I picked up the first book in the Ashes to Ashes, Bad Things Happen, but once I finished it I knew I would be back for the rest of the books in the series. I was so excited when I saw the cover of Less You Know pop up on my new reads list that I dived in first and asked questions later… who am I kidding, the only question I asked is why did that end and when is the next one coming!?!? Rowena Holloway stuns us once again with a fantastic and true to title gripping suspenseful read. I felt as if I was on an up down ride of emotions that I couldn’t make much sense of from one moment to the next. Of course, this is a good thing when you go to get lost in a suspenseful thrilling book. Once again, Charlotte and her friend are the center of this story and we see them much as we did in the first book. Only this time we learn much more about their secrets and all that people tend to be hiding. Even when we think we know them the best. I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book! Thanks for the great read Ms. Holloway!

Less You Know by Rowena Holloway is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series. This can be read as a standalone and be enjoyed. I was excited to read this book because I enjoyed the first one in the series a lot. The character of Charlotte continues to grow but this also means she finds herself falling into some strange rabbit holes in her investigations. Lies and coverups are all over the place and it makes her question everything she knows. I enjoyed the writing because it kept the story at a good pace and I didn’t want to put the book down. The characters are interesting and add to the overall suspense and mystery. I look forward to more from Rowena Holloway in the future.

Less You Know by Rowena Holloway is the second book in the Ashes to Ashes series. This book is an enthralling as the first one. Centred around two best friends it explores the fact that we never really know people as well as we think we do.
This book absolutely grabbed my attention. I had to know what was going to happen; where had Allie gone? What secrets had she been hiding? Could Charlotte find her? Would Charlotte disappear next. I could feel my heart thumping at times as I was reading this book. It truly was edge of your seat type reading.
Rowena Holloway has such a gripping writing style. I am glad that I have discovered her work!

This is an action, suspense-thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I enjoyed the twists and turns that just kept coming. Charlotte thought she was going to enjoy Christmas Day with her friend until her friend didn’t show up. What happened to Allie? Was there a link between her and the former football star? I enjoyed how determined to find the truth Charlotte was. She made the story for me. I highly recommend reading this book, find out what happened to Allie.
