From Ashes (Heathens Ink #3)


Lots and lots and lots of binge-reading in my near future. Let's start with Heathens Ink (and it's spin-off series Inked). All by K.M. Neuhold. The third book to read in the Heathens series "From Ashes," and it's Adam's book (the one secretly bi).

["“When the broken man with scarred skin walked into Heathens, asked for a job, and showed me a sketch of a phoenix, it felt like fate.”~ Adam
It started with an anonymous post by someone who didn't want to live anymore. I read it over and over again, unable to get it out of my mind. What if my brother Johnny had posted something like this before he'd taken his own life? Would someone have been able to save him?

I've been living a lie for 16 long years and I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep it up. And when a beautiful, broken man walks into my tattoo shop asking for a second chance at life, I know I'll never be able to turn him away.

“When I was so far down I couldn’t even see the light, a stranger reached in to save me”~ Nox
I didn't have anything to live for, until a kind stranger pulled me back from the brink. With physical and emotional scars I have nowhere to turn now but to that same stranger who saved my life without realizing it. But as my feelings for Adam grow, will I ever be anything other than a surrogate for the brother he couldn’t save? Am I even worthy of his love?"]

This one was not easy. Nox wanted to be loved and safe, but he didn't think he deserved it, especially with someone like Adam. Adam wanted to be happy and open, but he didn't think he'd ever get the chance. Trusting that their hearts were in capable and comforting hands, they had no choice but to fall in love. 

But, like I said, it was not easy, so please mind the triggers below.

Trigger Warnings: domestic violence, drug use, suicidal thoughts, attempted suicide, attempted murder, murder, stalking, harassment, etc
