Ash (Hive Trilogy) Paperback – December 19, 2015

What I liked about this book was that it was exciting and to keep you on your toes good storyline. What I didn't like about this book is the female character Charlie she whines and complains so much and she's very impulsive where people get hurt because she can't control her emotions. I also felt that the language was obsessive as far as cursing too much.

Charlie is a human living in a world of vampires and half vampires known as the Ash. She has an intense dislike for the ash bordering on hatred for them but it's not without its reasons. The last thing she expected to happen was waking up as one of the guys she hated so much the first female Ash. Now forced into the world she doesn't want anything to do with she learns that she has to survive a series of fights for a right to live in the Hive.The hive is overloaded with too many so they have the new ash fight it out in a culling of the weak. Survive the fights, you get a place in the hive and to live out your extremely long life. Since Charlie is the first of her kind a female Ash, which is unheard of and has never been heard of before. Her surprise existence has drawn the attention of the Quorum one particular vampire is intrigued by her. Will Charlie Survive the fights? What happens when they figure out she's not just an Ash?I like Charlie a lot, she's a strong stubborn fighter when faces unimaginable odds rises to the challenge. I like Ryder he's the strong silent type but exactly what she needs when it comes to surviving her life in the Hive. The pair has an intense relationship as they both have issues. We've got some great close friends for Charlie as a support system Jayden, Tessa, the sex six. I'm not sure how I feel about Lucas but we will see how he plays out in the future books.I've had this one on my kindle for far too long but haven't gotten around to it just yet. I read another book by this duo of authors falling in love with their writing style so I had to check out Ash. I love the vampire concept it takes on a whole new twist, with the hybrid Ash I found the story refreshing. The characters are easy to love, I found myself really connecting and investing in Charlie and liking her support friends. The authors have done a brilliant job creating a captivating story that inspires the imagination as well as sparks the heart. Ash is an action packed page turner that was hard to put down I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed Ash, looking forward to reading the rest of the series it's one of my new favorites. A must for fans of bad-ass heroines and vampires.

I’m not skipping paragraphs and pages. I’m not stumbling over a lot of grammatical errors. This has a nice twist to the vampire/human/hybrid theme. And of course the OLD age strong yet tender male hero paired with the tender emotional yet strong heroine. Meh. It’s a romance- paranormal or not. This one is easy to sink into and, so far, no cotton candy porn scenes. Worth a few hours of escapism.

So Charlie is a unicorn. Something that just doesn't happen. A female Ash. Father a vampire and mother human. She grew up believing her father died in the military. And since she is... well a girl, she didn't pay much attention to the list of warning signs that something was wrong until it was too late.I enjoyed Jaymin Eve's Supernatural Prison series so I decided to give this one a shot. Vampires are hit or miss for me but this one was a hit for sure. I loved how the lore of how vamps came to be was woven right into human culture and it just made sense. I loved how very real issues that human really have getting along with each other is mirrored in this book. We are afraid of what we don't understand. Humans, Ash, Vampires. They definitely have issues in this book.I enjoyed the characters in this book. Jayden is Charlies best Ash friend forever (BAFF) and I adore him. He's got a thing for Oliver in the sexy six. He loves to dress Charlie and he's a great roomie. They make a pair that's unusual and important as they try to survive the culling. It's clear to Charlie that this Ash thing sucks big time. Lost are all the human rights she's grown up having. She's allowed to life at the pleasure of the vamps. And the whole thing sucks.Of course, the best part of this book is another one of the sexy six - Ryder. That boy is all kinds of yum! And for some reason he wants Charlie to stay alive. I'd take my chances with him on my side any day.This book is for mature YA and could be called NA. It's heavy on the creative slang and has lots of suggestive comments but stays out of the bedroom. I enjoyed it and definitely want to dive right into the next book.

I was absorbed in the book virtually from the beginning. The relationship between the vampires and their lower class 'Ash' who fight to the death every year in the hope of getting to live in servitude to the vampires.The introduction of an Ash female who has an immediate impact on the senior Ash who form the security services to protect the vampires give and the vampires themselves.No more story spoilers but this is a very well constructed and we'll written book that will strongly appeal to anyone who likes a vampire story. I loved it from start to finish and eagerly await starting book 2 to continue the story.

What a shame!The premise of this book was great, but I just couldn't take to the heroine, the dialogue was gut wrenching and repetitive, I don't know if my kindle would have survived if I'd have read "for reals", "legit" or anything ending with "ass" again.Bored of the whole centuries old vampire (or part vampire in this case) falling for a whiny 21 year old with literally no redeeming qualities except for being "hot".I really wanted to like this but I just hated the lead characters and dialogue.One last note, a few too many things reminded me of Chicagoland Vampires which is a hundred times better than this

Really enjoyed this which I have to say, I wasn't sure I would or not. I liked that they expressed the main FL had issues with the situation thrust upon her, but didn't dwell on it so much that you were just bored and unsympathetic - after all, it is all fictional! I liked the interaction and relationships that were developed, they didn't feel rushed or underexposed nor did they feel like they were too dull to care about and all the characters were different but likeable, Did find myself chuckling a lot at some of the expressions in it - very nice humour amongst a gruelling situation for the female lead.Def worth a read and will be following for the next in the series!

This is a pretty tame story of you are used to reading Jaymin Eve books. Still a good story though about a human who turns into a hybrid vampire. It's uncommon as it's usually men it happens to. She is now like a unicorn and everyone wants a piece of her!

This was the first book on by Jaymin Eve that I ever read and I can honestly say it started an unhealthy obsession! I had always read girly love novels and one day fancied something totally different and stumbled across Ash! Well...i devoured this book with indecent haste and then cried for a good hour because I needed to wait on the next instalment. Jaymin has a talent for created real and loveable characters. I can always find a personal connection to at least one of her characters in every book. And did I mention the sexy six!!!!! WOW...i need to meet the men these were based on...it would def be bye bye hubby!!!
