She woke up dead in a lake. Now she's got a second chance--if the undead don't kill her first. Robin Sullivan doesn't remember how she died. Just that she crawled out of Lady Bird Lake wearing someone else's Sunday best and no pulse. Welcome to Hellhound Academy--Austin's secret training ground for the recently resurrected, where cadets like her protect the living from supernatural threats . . . or get recalled to the underworld. Marked by a mysterious brand and shadowed by a crow with glowing eyes, Robin's only clue to her past is a flicker of memory and a gnawing suspicion. Someone murdered her, and the Academy may be in on it. With enemies on every level, undead squadmates with secrets of their own, and a clever instructor who might be alive--or worse--Robin must survive combat trials, twisted monsters, and deadly conspiracies buried beneath the city. Because in this afterlife, your second chance comes with an expiration date. Dive into Ashes to Ashes, the explosive first book in the Hellhound Academy series--a gritty, fast-paced urban fantasy with found family, dangerous magic, and a heroine who refuses to stay dead.
