Ashes to Ashes (Blood Ties Series #3)

Ashes to Ashes - Jennifer Armintrout So here’s the story so far:Book 1*Cyrus attacks Carrie and turns her into a vampire*Carrie seeks out Nathan also a vampire and find they’re attracted to each other*Carrie goes to Cyrus who forces her to become his lover*Carrie returns to Nathan, they become lovers*Carrie kills Cyrus*Nathan is still in love with his long dead wife despite being with CarrieBook 2*Cyrus is brought back, he’s now human and regains his humanity*Carrie indirectly kills Cyrus’s lover*Max sleeps with Bella and falls in love with her*Carrie cheats on Nathan with Cyrus*Nathan still in love with his dead wife*Bella rejects Max*Carrie leaves NathanBook 3*Carrie almost sleeps with Max*Nathan tries to tell Carrie he loves her, they get back together*Cyrus is dying so Carrie turns him into a vampire*Nathan attacks Cyrus, who raped him when Cyrus’s father turned him and killed his wife*Max admits he loves Bella, and can't say no to her*Bella admits she loves Max, they get back together*Bella is pregnant with a half vampire/half werewolf child*Everyone wants to steal the child for their nefarious purposes*Carrie rejects Nathan by becoming Cyrus’s lover*Cyrus is killed*Carrie is back with NathanIs this a soap opera? Everyone is sleeping with/raping everyone else. I can understand Carrie’s love problems though. No one loves her for being herself. Cyrus in the end did love her, he took a risk and sacrificed himself when he could have easily walked away. I wasn’t pleased at his death, I thought they could have been happy together but then death doesn’t mean dead and gone in this series. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone brings him back in the next book. This series is easy to read but I resent the actions of these characters, they just seem to be making lots of mistakes and going round and round in circles but they're not perfect which makes them real I guess. 2.5 stars.
