I love the covers in this series. There is something about them that I was just drawn to. They have a unique feel to them and I think perfectly fits with the series.
FROM THE ASHES is the third and final book in the “Ashes to Ashes” series and it is my opinion that this series should be read in order. This author has a very distinctive writing style and tells a very detailed tale.
As with the other books in the series, I did find myself skimming a little bit because I wanted to know what was going on faster than I could read. This is a great psychological thriller and at times I was twisting and turning to figure out what was going on.
While this was my first series by this author, it will not be my last.

From the Ashes by Rowena Holloway is the conclusion of the Ashes to Ashes series. I highly recommend reading the first two books so you can follow the story. Holloway has been my new psychological thriller author. Her stories are captivating and engaging. Every time you think that the story will go this way, it will take a 180 degree turn. The characters are fully developed and complex, which allows you to follow them into every part of the story. Charlotte is that character. She is a journalist who just happens to stumble into a story of the Hall. She has a hard time because her eyes are not really looking at what is in front of her. She is trying to put a puzzle together. Will Charlotte find out what is going on at the Hall? Will it be too late? Sit back and enjoy the journey Charlotte will take you on.

I give From The Ashes – a gripping psychological thriller (Ashes to Ashes Book 3) by Rowena Holloway, 4 stars. **This review may contain spoilers from previous books in the series.**
Charlotte had her career and life go up in smoke. Now she has decided to follow some possible leads and check out a brain injury clinic. The best way for her to do that it to get a job there. In reality, she needs the paycheck as much as she needs to find the truth. But the more she digs, the deeper the mystery appears. Plus it seems to tie into someone she can’t stop thinking about — Tyrone. Who is behind all the mysterious deaths? Can Charlotte get to the bottom of it in time? Are the people around her really what they seem?
The conclusion to this series, this is a superb book. It leads you off with the ending, then you go back and forth in the viewpoints of the different characters, following both what happens to lead up to the event and what happens directly after. The story is very gripping, you want to just who is to blame for everything, and I admit, I did not know until the end. Charlotte is a great character, she wants to know what is going on, but at the same time, she feels for these patients. Then there are the other people for whom we see viewpoints. Each and everyone different, but real. You are held on the edge of your seat until they can find out just who did it and why. I love this type of book.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers, this series and book are for you.

OMG Charlotte has been through quite a lot since we first met her back in book one. This series has taken me on quite the journey, and have all led to this point. I have loved each book, but I definitely think Ms. Holloway has left the best till last. From the Ashes is the third, and final book in the Ashes to Ashes series by Rowena Holloway. It is an intense psychological thriller that will tie you up in knots with the tightly woven and twisty plot. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the story- scrambling to read as quickly as I could so I could unravel the mystery, and put all the pieces together, before the final reveal. But, I had so many scenarios running through my head- Ms. Holloway twisted and turned the plot so well that I was left guessing right till the end. I loved the gripping suspense, psychological ploys, clever mystery, dramatic developments, heightened tension, and intense danger which Ms. Holloway managed to imbue her story with. She definitely knows how to weave a great tale, and keep her readers glued to the pages. I was both excited, and a little sad to get my hands on this book- as I really wanted to continue Charlotte’s journey, but at the same time I knew that this would be the concluding chapter. So, it has been a bit of a bittersweet experience. Charlotte Ashe is the main character , whom we have met in the previous book/s- and she enters this story having her life turned upside down. She’s been through so much- at the cost of her career, reputation, credibility, friendships, and even to a degree, her self-respect. She has one ‘play’ left- and she throws herself into it headfirst. Her continuing obsession with Tyrone Gardner leads her to Blaxon Hall, a private ‘clinic’, where her journalistic senses recognise the threads of a story. She needs this story to pan out, because she’s got a lot riding on the outcome. Charlotte uncovers some mystery surrounding the recent deaths at the hall- and this is where the story really ramps up in intensity and interest. Charlotte couldn’t possibly predict the ensuing events- placing herself in incredible danger along the way. What will she sacrifice in order to get to the bottom of this investigation? Because when a fire breaks out at the hall, Charlotte is one of the missing people, What happened, you ask? Well, I don’t want to spoil it for you- so I really recommend grabbing yourself a copy of this fantastic thriller, and discover all the gripping developments for yourself. WOW… this story is definitely a clever, edge of your seat read- and as I expected, is another great story from Rowena Holloway. I really can’t wait to see what she does next!

Rowena Holloway has quickly become an author I can’t get enough of. I have been devouring her books a lot lately and the latest for me, From The Ashes, has to be one of my top favorites of hers. Holloway knows how to write some psychological and twisty suspense. I often feel as if my emotions are put through the ringer each time I embark on a journey with her books. I was on edge from the very beginning until that last bittersweet chapter. I can’t say enough good about the world building and attention to detail that is ever present in all of Rowena Holloway’s novels.
From The Ashes is book three of the Ashes to Ashes series, but they can be read as stand alone novels. I highly recommend that you read them all anyways! We get the story of Charlotte and she has a trippy road to take in this novel. Charlotte is a journalist seeking the truth about some questionable deaths at the Hall. As she starts to find things out and the closer she gets to the truth the crazier things seem. Just as they build to a head a fire leaves Charlotte among a group of missing people. I can assure you this one will have you reading just one more page, or till I figure this out, well past your bedtime! I know I was up well into the night because I just had to know what would come next. I can’t wait to see what will come next from the ever talented Rowena Holloway!

Pieces of a Lie was a great 4 star suspenseful read.
I was pulled in right from the beginning. Mina starts to learn more about the father who left her and her mother when she was very young. They had to deal with the repercussions of her father’s actions. After her mother’s death, she decides to go into the antiquing business. When things don’t go in the direction that Mina expects she starts to get angry and frustrated.
Lincoln is a cop who comes to town to investigate burglaries that are occurring. When Mina is considered a suspect she gets very angry. As the investigation moves on secrets get revealed that causes Mina to rethink things.
There is so much more to this great read, I don’t want to give anything away. Mina was a great tough as nails character. Linc was a straightforward cop with some demons of his own, but I loved him. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. We get suspense, romance and so much more. The twists and turns really added a great element to the story. Rowena Holloway continues to draw me in with her writing and I can’t wait to read more from her.

This was an interesting tale of suspense, mystery, and so many twists and turns, for once, I was unable to even come close to figuring out the ending! It started off a bit slowly and took a while to get into it, but once things started coming together, I couldn’t put it down!
Mina Everton is an outcast in her hometown. Her father disappeared years ago with millions from the towns coffers, or so it seems, and the entire town shunned Mina and her sick mother, holding them responsible for what he did to the town. Only her friend Forbes stuck by her side and is still there for her all these years later, trying to keep her life on track and save her from herself. While he is running for Mayor, he brings in a detective from Sydney to help with a major case that he hopes solving it will get him elected. When Mina and Linc meet, there is undeniable chemistry between the two, but they are from two different worlds and each knows they could never act on their attraction.
This author takes us on a journey through a web of secrets and lies, murder and mayhem, and maybe even a bit of the supernatural! You might think you have it all figured out, but you will be wrong! So don’t bother trying, just read and enjoy the journey! And if you think you see things or hear things in your house while you’re reading…maybe it’s just Spirit there to protect you!

Once again with Pieces of A Lie, Rowena Holloway gives us a story that gives us an opportunity for some inner reflection. At the center of it is her relationship with her parents. Sometimes in ways we cannot recognize our relationships shape us. Our heroine in this story is Mina, and she is one tough cookie. She has built a wall so high that no one is going to get to her heart. Our hero Linc is so bound up in his own feelings of shame and inadequacy he almost misses his cue. This was a delightful little romance wrapped up in suspense and intrigue. A very pleasant little romp until you get to the end……it’s a “can’t put it down” after that.

Piece of a Lie by Rowena Holloway is a gripping psychological thriller. This story pulled me from the beginning. This is a fast read but I warn you that you will want to keep a steady pace because I knew I missed a couple of crucial ideas (I did go back and reread the thoughts). Holloway is a great descriptive author. Her attention to detail is amazing. On top of the thriller going on there is a slight love story. Detective Lincoln is a new up and coming detective. He is trying to make a name for himself. In comes Mina, who Detective Lincoln is attracted to but will that be his underdoing? What happens where there is a body found? How does Slab Carlson. A crime boss fit into the picture? The answer to all these questions and more will be answered but will you figure out what is going on before the end?

Pieces of a Lie by Rowena Holloway is a gripping and suspense mystery that is full of intrigue and danger, secrets and lies, drama and action. It is one story that keeps the pages turning and you find yourself sitting on the edge of the seat and heart pumping. It made it even more interesting because the small town the story is set in is in the state I live, South Australia.
Mina lives under the shadow of her father and his reputation even though it was years ago since anyone had seen him but like all small town’s things stick like glue. She has been trying to pursue her passion for antiques and earn a living from it. But nothing is every easy for Mina who finds herself front and centre in the minds of law enforcement when a string of robberies starts happening.
Linc found himself assigned to a small town after getting on the wrong side of the boss. He soon finds that things in this small town are not what they seem and the one person he really doesn’t want to think did it, turns out to be his number one suspect.
This gripping tale is a must on anyone’s TBR list.

I have been an avid fan of Rowena Holloway since picking up her Ashes to Ashes series and I never looked back just for more good books by her. Pieces Of A Lie was actually Rowena Holloway’s debut novel, and upon finding that out I was even more impressed with her writing skills that seem to never fail to take me away on a whirlwind of an adventure that I will never forget taking. This book did not deviate from that and had I not done some extra reading I would have never known this was a first. It is written eloquently and with a pace that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat trying to guess what will come next and how things will eventually come to be in the end.
I loved that this was set in Australia, also Rowena’s native country and so it was literally like being on a vacation while reading. The dialog reflects perfectly the setting and makes you feel very submersed in the whole ordeal. Mina and Linc take one heck of an adventure together with so many twists and turns that you will be hooked from the very beginning till the end in one sitting. I know I was and I look forward to seeing what else is out there as well as what will come from the ever talented Rowena Holloway.

What an amazingly captivating suspenseful thriller that had me immediately hooked from page one right until the very end! It will have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation waiting to see what could happen next. It flows from chapter to chapter and easy to follow and you don’t feel lost within the story. This author writes with incredible descriptions that make you feel you are there within the story. These characters that this author has created are real, they face a-lot through their journey and I loved following it. I think what else made this read even better was the fact that we got the read in multiple POV, I love when books are written like this as it helps me connect with characters, even more, helps me understand them and really gives me a proper insight to the characters thoughts and real feelings.

This was a suspenseful thriller that I immediately loved and couldn’t get enough of. I was pulled in from the very first page and I was kept on the edge of suspense throughout whole novel. So many twists and turns!! The main characters in this book are Lincoln and Mina. I thought they were great and I thought they were very likeable and relatable. There is a lot of attraction going on between these two but when a body is found the little trust they had gets thinner and thinner. I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future. Happy Reading!

Pieces Of A Lie by Rowena Holloway was an excellent mystery fiction novel. The story is told from multiple points of view making the story more complex. The characters were realistic and easy to relate to. It was also easy to visualize each one. The author provided excellent backstory for each as well.
The story itself had an excellent climax and was organized. It was easy to follow along as it progressed. It also seemed professionally edited. I loved sitting and reading this novel. It pulls the reader in with an intense beginning. Excellent book.
