Here's a little about Born of Blood and Ash (Flesh and Fire, #4)
Add on [goodreads]
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the thrilling conclusion to her beloved Flesh and Fire series…
The line between love and obsession has never been wider.
While Sera is finally free of Kolis and back with those she loves, not everything is calm. Memories of all she’s endured still haunt her, but Sera finally has hope for a future with the other half of her heart and soul. Nyktos desires, loves, and accepts every part of her—even the monstrous bits she still battles.
More than ever, Sera and Ash have everything under the realms to fight for, and Nyktos has no doubt Sera is fit to be the Queen of the Gods. But she must find that faith within herself if they hope to convince the other Courts to support them against Kolis and make Iliseeum and the mortal realm better, safer places for all.
But as Sera begins to piece together the importance of her bloodline and the true meaning behind the foreboding prophecy, it becomes clear that everything that has happened and is yet to come is much bigger than Kolis and his dark obsessions.
They cannot help but wonder exactly how much influence the Fates have had and what their ultimate goal is. What Sera does know for sure is that they can trust very few—including her.
A battle between the gods is brewing, and heartbreaking losses are imminent with the true Primal of Death strengthening. With a family of the heart willing to battle by their side, can Sera and Nyktos stop Kolis before he destroys the realms, or will it all disappear in a fiery inferno of blood and ash?
And the line between justice and vengeance has never been so thin.

Review
Before I start anything, this review might contain spoilers from the previous books. If you have not yet read the series, I highly recommend you do it.
This book was one of the few joys that I had this year. I was so excited to start this book and even if I didn’t start it the moment I got it, once I started it, I couldn’t put it down.
The final book of this series continues where we left off in A Fire in the Flesh and from there on, Sera and Nyktos need to find a way to end Kolis’ reign.
I really enjoyed my reading of this book. It had everything and even if some moments I felt like they were more fillers than anything, I wouldn’t change anything.
I loved how much Sera has grown since the first book and this book was another level of growth for her. Learning to live with her new role in this world has gotten her to shape her actions of course, but I feel everything she went through in just the last book alone would push someone to grow.
Nyktos and her will always make sense to me. They are not a perfect couple, but they worked within their strengths and their weaknesses to move forward. I felt like in this book, their relationship was taking a new point, especially with everything that happened with Kolis in the last book. It has come with its challenges, but I do feel they are such a strong couple.
A lot happens in this book and I’m trying to keep this spoiler free, but even if some of these things I predicted, a lot of them I did not and I love this. I don’t know if it’s because I’m not good at predicting, but I think that people will also be surprised by some turn of events in this book.
As always, there are characters you will love and some you will hate, but I think that’s the beauty in this sort of book series because one without the other would probably make it a boring book.
I just need to put this here in my review… I adored Reaver. That’s it. I just love him.
Overall, I loved the whole series and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the blood and ash series and see where it will go from there.
I was giving an advanced copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
