RIVER OF ASHES by Alexandrea Weis & Lucas Astor (Vesuvian Books, 02 August 2022)
Award-winning writing duo Weis and Astor are back with another cinematic, soapy, Southern Gothic that proves once again, things – and people – aren’t always what they seem, no matter how charming they appear. A handsome psychopath and long-held secrets unravel an idyllic river town as the authors prime readers for a twist ending in a series debut that hits close to home for anyone who grew up in the quaint South – and raises a warning flag for those who didn’t.
