Hellhound Academy

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.

Being undead was the easy part. Now Robin has a target on her back-and secrets buried deeper than the grave. After surviving the Gauntlet and claiming a top spot at Hellhound Academy, Robin Sullivan should be gaining answers. Instead, she's collecting enemies. Someone in the Academy wants her gone-again-and this time, forever. The deeper she digs into her past, the more dangerous her second chance at some kind of life becomes. The ghosts in Austin are getting louder. Possessions spike across the city, and a mysterious underworld figure known as the Memory Merchant is stealing more than memories-he may hold the key to Robin's murder. With her squad by her side and her hound mark pulsing with new, unstable power, Robin must walk a razor's edge between loyalty and rebellion. Worse, the ledger is watching. And it never forgets. If Robin fails this time, it won't just be her afterlife on the line-it'll be everyone she's come to care about. Continue the pulse-pounding journey in Dust to Dust-Book Two of the Hellhound Academy series. Book Three, Bone to Bone, is coming soon. Secrets won't stay buried forever.
