About Shadows of Asphodel:
When Ardis discovers a man bleeding to death on the battlefield, she knows she has to walk away.
1913. In her work as a mercenary for Austria-Hungary, Ardis has killed many men without hesitation. One more man shouldn’t matter, even if he manages to be a charming bastard while he stands dying in the snow.
But when he raises the dead to fight for him, she realizes she must save his life.
If a necromancer like Wendel dies, he will return as a monster—or so the rumors say. Ardis decides to play it safe and rescues him. What she doesn’t expect is Wendel falling to one knee and swearing fealty. Ardis never asked for the undying loyalty of a necromancer, but it’s too late now.
Ardis and Wendel forge an uneasy alliance underscored with sexual tension. Together, they confront rebels, assassins, and a conspiracy involving a military secret: robotically-enhanced soldiers for a world on the brink of war. But as Ardis starts to fall for Wendel, she realizes the scars from his past run more deeply than she ever imagined. Can Ardis stop Wendel before his thirst for revenge destroys him and everyone else around him?

Review:
I am completely wowed by this book! I had heard of dieselpunk before but never read anything definitely classified as such. If this is dieselpunk, I'm sold. The characters are so ridiculously amazing and the way they interact is so genuine. Ardis is so sure of herself and so strong. She does things that I could never do. She's no damsel in distress that's for sure! Wendel was interesting as he is so filled with the need for revenge and he's traveling down this road that is obviously going to lead to destruction but I feel like there is still so much good in him. The tension between Adris and Wendel is PALPABLE. Really! Everything is so well written that you can feel everything that Adris and Wendel feel and you find yourself worrying for them as they travel. What an awesome book! Can't wait for more from Karen Kincy! Shadows of Asphodel earns 4 Fairies for a story that I loved every moment of.
