- “[A]n unapologetically dark, morally messy thriller of survival, with an ambitious plot….A fascinating addition to a thought-provoking series.” —Booklist
- “I didnt think Rebecca Schaeffer could top Not Even Bones, I just couldnt fathom how you could beat perfect; and yet she did with Only Ashes Remain. The character arcs and the character development was nothing short of magical. Seeing into Kovit’s past, going down Nita’s moral demise, learning what truly makes a monster (and what makes someone human) I cannot wait for the next book. Favorite series I have read in a VERY long time.”- Reader

Rebecca Schaeffer’s writing is so intensely amazing you will find yourself being pulled further and further until you’re lost into the world of Market of Monsters. You’ll look at the clock, realize you have been reading for 7 hours and still be unable to set it down!”- Satisfied Customer
