Beneath the Stars by A.L. Jackson
5.0
Note: An ARC was provided by the author.
I knew going into Beneath the Stars that I would have to bid adieu to the Falling Stars series, and while I thought I was prepared to say goodbye, I sure as heck wasn't prepared for how much this fourth and final book would gut me. This series ender is a falling-for-your-friend's-sibling romance, but there's also much more to it than "just" that.
All. The. Feels! Gah! Seriously, Rhys and Maggie were just... Le sigh. My heart was so invested in these two. You could see how much they wanted to be together, but with Royce making it clear he did not think that was a good idea and then Rhys's past haunting him relentlessly, there was a lot coming at and for both of them. Talk about complicated!
I take my hat off to A.L. Jackson for her gift in striking that fine balance between lighthearted and more weighted moments throughout the story. There's even some suspense added to the mix! The added bonus of having all those familiar characters from both the Bleeding Stars and Falling Stars made Beneath the Stars a five-plus-starred read.
