Another Home Run

4.5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely loved Grigsby’s first novel in this series, Smoke Eaters. So, when I found out that Ash Kickers was being written and released I was excited.

Thankfully, my excitement wasn’t all for nothing. Grigsby wrote another stellar novel and this time took down the action (a little) but still wrote an absolutely compelling novel that touches on more than just fighting dragons.

Also, let’s take a moment to recognize two things here: the cover and the title of the book. I love the name Ash Kickers and as it’s finally used in the book it ends up growing on some characters as well. And that cover is so eye-candy attention grabbing that I love it. It also gives a little hint into what you’re getting yourself into.

Grigsby didn’t shy away from action either. The scenes where they are trying to capture and then later were intense, real, and overall extremely well written

I think the biggest strength in Ash Kickers was the characters. They were compelling and human. I mean, of course they’re human, but they really feel real. I was rooting for them all and wanted things to work out.

Overall, a fantastic novel that will be in my top list of the year for sure. Grigsby hits another home run.
