Skully Morgan. That is my name and all that I know.
In the darkness, my mind searched for solace.
I had no memories. No recollection of what happened that night on the cliff. When I woke, it was to hostility in the form of a man, claiming he once owned my heart. Madden is as cold and hard as his steel gray gaze. He told me he hated me. Then banished me from my home.
What he didn’t know was the relief that followed. A phantom lightness I couldn’t explain. So I left willingly. I went with my aunt and turned my back on a past that didn’t feel like mine.
Two years later, secrets unravel, and I discover the life I built is not what it seems. I’m dragged back to the town that cast me out, to the family that claims me only when it suits them… and to Madden—the man who now promises to destroy me for daring to return.
He says the magic I wield is dangerous.
He says I’m trouble.
What he doesn’t understand is that I don’t belong to anyone anymore. And the power flowing through my veins is strong enough to fight back.

Written in Flesh is the first book I’ve read by Ashton Brooks and now I can’t wait to read the next book!
This second chance, enemies to lovers romance was brilliant from start to finish.
Skully Morgan wakes up in the hospital with no recollection of what happened in the last nine months. She only knows that her ex, and soon to be step-brother Madden, is sitting by her bedside ordering her to leave and not to return. She has no clue what she did to deserve his ire.
I loved how interwoven magic, angels, and demons are throughout this book. The book was so mysterious and definitely kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire thing.
I loved the secondary character, Azriel, who Skully thinks is just another ordinary guy she strikes up a friendship with randomly. What she doesn’t realise is, Azriel is actually an angel of death and she shouldn’t be able to see him. He’s loyal to Skully and such a much needed light to this story.
Skully’s character is amazing and she is determined to remember what she’s forgotten despite what her jerk of an ex says. The journey that Skully goes on to rediscover her past is so well written and I really enjoyed reading about the secondary characters, her friends from River Falls.
Fair warning, this book ends on one hell of a cliffhanger! I seriously need the second book, like now, to find out what happens next!
