ARC Review: NetGalley
Release Date: 6-15-25
Author: S.A. Cosby
No Spoilers: (Whatever I mention is in the book’s summary)
Yes, I realize how lucky I am, lol. I’m a huge fan of this author and have read his entire catalog. On 2-7-25, I preordered the physical copy. I couldn’t wait any longer, so I requested an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This crime thriller novel features a Virginia man (Roman), who has to come home and help his brother, who has gotten into some trouble. Roman ends up getting involved with two brothers (Torrent and Tranquil) who are leaders of a gang. Torrent is my favorite character, by the way.
As you can imagine, all kinds of crazy stuff happens which translates to action for us readers. I could not put this book down. There’s also a twist at the end. This author gets better and better every time. Kings of Ashes have taken over my top spot. Here’s my new rankings.
1. King of Ashes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2. Razorblade Tears ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3. All the Sinners Bleed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
4. Blacktop Wasteland ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5. Brokedown Prophets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
6. My Darkest Prayer ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the last book in this emotional roller coaster of a series. Although it was 614 pages, It didn’t feel like it. The book is dark, very dark. I remember only one scene that wasn’t, but it was right after a mass killing so…With that being said, I have such a love/hate relationship with Rin. Just so you know, you will not laugh once while reading this book (not if you’re normal), and you’ll probably end up being frustrated with Rin a lot. Overall, I really enjoyed the series. I will probably think of Rin for years to come. Here is my breakdown.
The Poppy War: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Dragon Republic: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
The Burning God: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The entire series: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I Love R.F. Kuang
I Love Kitay
I Love/hate Rin

Let me start by saying, S.A. Cosby does it again. This is a quick audiobook, 4 hours and 9 minutes. This book is about three hustles who are in possession of a bad of money. The money belongs to a Russian mob boss. And yes, all kinds of stuff goes wrong. I didn’t immediately take to it because it felt corny, and one character (Digit) was annoying. But that quickly changes and the writing dramatically improves. I was hooked. If you’re looking for something quick, action packed, and feel like a movie, look no further. The actors did amazing. An easy 4 stars. I recommend it!

This book was right on time. I just started writing a crime thriller novel and I’m finishing up on the first draft of my memoir. Walter Mosley addressed what I needed help with, but more importantly, motivated the hell out of me. I will take everything I’ve learned and apply it. Outstanding book. It was short and to the point. No complaints.
