Dead Girl’s Ashes is the first book in the Dying Ashes series, a chilling dark urban fantasy/supernatural thriller featuring a sardonic lesbian dead girl that just doesn’t know when to quit.

What fans are saying about this dark paranormal series by Annathesa Nikola Darksbane, Co-Author of the popular Dakota Shepherd series:

★★★★★ “Fantastic Read, need more! Another great novel from the Darksbanes. As usual the writing and story is top notch leaving you wanting more. The perfect balance between action, drama, humour and romance sets their work apart from the common. As usual I cannot wait to read the next one.[…]All in all this is a great read with fantastic characters and will leave you wishing for more.” -Liebien Bothaon

★★★★★ “Ashes might be my new favorite of the Darksbane Books’ series. I loved this take on vampires, in which there are multiple types of vampires, each with their own specific mythology and characteristics. Ashley is a great character, struggling with her own (im)mortality, and driven to find her missing girlfriend. I’m looking forward to the next book!” -Claire
