Souls on fire…

Award winning and USA Today bestselling author, India R. Adams, writes stories of souls on fire. Whether India’s characters are feeling the heat from hell or the wings of grace, they are all transforming and want to share their journey with you. Her novels range from Dark MC, Paranormal, to Contemporary, but each story is either a path of destruction or a road to redemption.

Sometimes both.

So, if you want to read about voyages of the heart, the grit to rise from one’s knees, or the strength to break free of the binds of a spirit, then pick one of India’s stories because she believes damaged souls are worth saving and that there is nothing more beautiful than a soul on fire.

One of the best ways to follow India and stay up to date with her latest work is her newsletter.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will grab you and never let you go

I’ve come to expect that I never know what to expect from this author. Every time I think I have her figured out she continues to amaze me. I am happy to report that once again it is no different. She has outdone herself. Bringing current and upsetting issues to the forefront is something India is very adept at doing. All the time she builds a story that will grab you and get to your soul. She also has a very spiritual quality that is imbedded but doesn’t beat you over the head with it. She gets you thinking. That’s always a good thing. Ignorance is what keeps the status quo. When things get to you that’s when things change. The universe responds. Good or bad the universe responds. So when we move in the right direction with the right intentions so will the universe.

This book will grab you emotionally from the first page and never let you go. The friendship that Angelo and Sal form is the kind we all seek out and may never have in our whole life. The bond of these two is a forever bond.
This is a dark story, which is told before you ever get to the first page. So there should be no shock value to that end. It is not a pretty picture that is painted. However, in everything there is some beauty. This story is full of beauty. You just have to look beyond the surface. There is an innocence in Angelo’s view of everything. He sees himself as bad. Yet when given no choice in things he still strives to always do the right thing.
Sal, is the character we all need in our life. He’s charming and fun and sees beyond. Sal very much reminds me of an intuitive. He is gifted.
Scarlett, is the innocent victim of an unimaginable life. Watching her come into her own is uplifting, beautiful and sad.
The bond between the three will keep you thinking about it way beyond you closing this book.
What you know is in life there is good and bad in everything. It is one of the laws of the universe. Just as there is two sides to a coin so this is in everyone’s life and life in general. It is the yin and yang. Wether you believe in Heaven and Hell or see it as a symbolism the good and bad exists. It must or stagnation happens. From bad comes good and it is very much evident in this book. Because of the situation these three are in would have never occurred unless the bad happened. As Liza Minnelli sang, “ And the World Goes Round”. Don’t know if you’ve ever heard that song but I thought about it while reading this book. I’d say after you read it look up the lyrics and apply!

As if all this isn’t enough there is intrigue, suspense, drama, close moments, tenderness, heat, and more interesting characters beyond the three main ones. As usual India brings her unique perspective and her gifts into the story. I don’t want to go into detail because it’s not fair to the author and you need to experience it for yourself.

I will say I can’t wait for the next installment. I have no idea what is going to happen but I know I’m going to deeply feel it and be amazed. So Bravo India, you knocked it out of the park again and I wish I could say I was surprised but I’m not. You are gifted and we are the lucky ones to benefit from those gifts!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost a 5 star book

Read with KU. So, I was introduced to these characters in the short story The Girl with No Hands in the Slay Belles and Mayem anthology, and fell in love with them. That story was from Scarlett's POV, and was absolutely tragic and beautiful. However, having read that story is why I can't give this one 5 stars, because the 2nd half of this book is all of what I already read in that short story, only from Angelo and Sal's POVs. Don't get me wrong, it is fabulously written, and goes into a number of details that weren't in the short story. But I can't help being disappointed that this book didn't go beyond where that story ended. This book actually ended before the end point of the short story. After reading that short, I was so excited to see where things were going to go next. So to have so much of that story rehashed to me, no matter how well written, was disappointing.

That being said, there was a LOT to like about this book. One of the best things about this book was the 1st half, and really getting to see the friendship and deep love as friends that grew between Angelo and Sal over the years. I was not expecting that element of the story at all. It was really beautiful to see their bond grow. I really appreciated that. I also liked the evolution of their relationship with Noemi. It could've easily been written as just sexual, or teenage experimentation. But instead it was really an emotional deep dive. Again...that I didn't expect. Overall, relationships, and their deeper meanings was a huge overall theme for this book. Most of them revolve around Angelo, he seems to be the glue that sort of holds all of this together. But there were also more subtle takes on relationships. Like Scarlett's relationship with her plastic cup, her name and clothes. Or, Angelo and Sal's relationships with their suits and material possessions.

Scarlett's child like innocence was also handled really well. Somehow it all manages to be sweet, heartbreaking, and funny. For such a sensitive topic, India actually managed to incorporate some genuine laugh out loud moments. While I was disappointed that this book didn't get me any further than the short story, seeing her growth from the guys' perspective definitely gave you all the feels. From their anger and heartache, to their amusement and sometimes comedic horror, to their love and admiration for her, it was nice to witness that from their POV.

Overall, my disappointment about this not getting me further than where the short story ended aside, this book was really great. It was beautifully tragic, simultaneously heartbreaking and hopeful. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. Im ready to get the show on the road, and find out what happens next. India Adams has definitely found a fan in me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing.

Once again India blows my mind.

I cried, I laughed (Sal, you're amazing), I cried some more, but most of all I felt hope.

This was such a heartbreaking story. Not only Scarlett's, but Isabella's as well. Even Sal and Angelo went through a fair share of mourning and losses.

The easter eggs to other books will haunt me. Poor babies.

I can't wait for the next book to come out. I need more of this trio, I need to know more. I need to see that revenge.

Honestly? Most of all I need to see these three people happy. Hopefully it's with each other.

Oh my heavens!!! I keep thinking I've read the best book yet from Ms Adams, and every time she proves she can grab me with an even better one! The Man With A Treasure was no exception.
I had read The Girl Without Hands, the Prequel to The Man With A Treasure, so I knew a little of what this book would be about before I began reading. But I just wasn't prepared for what was to come.
Here we meet Angelo and Sal, learning of their youth and the innocence and worldliness they displayed, their love and their trials and tribulations. And then came Isabella.
There's pain and despair in the story. But there's even more love and humour.
Scar is broken. She's been destroyed. She's been abused and neglected. Angelo and Sal go searching for her and eventually find her. And then...the love...the humour... and innocence despite all that has happened to her, are overwhelming.
I really couldn't put this book down and can't wait for the next one now!

After the first book, this was a completely different reading experience. While still intense, it was not as brutal, and to be honest, I'm thankful.

These two boys were thrown together and forged a friendship that noone could come between our break. The story tells of their rise through the mafia ranks, from farm boys to foot soldiers.

Angelo promises to find Scar and bring he home, and his best friend Sal is, as always, by his side.

Now, while I understood the sexual experimentation when they were teens, I even understood how their feelings grew for their first lover, but, and this is a big but for me, I couldn't get behind Angelo letting Sal have time with Scar. It didn't feel right, and I was disappointed.

On the whole though, a worthy story.
