Beneath the Stars by A.L. Jackson

5.0

Every single one of the members of Carolina George owns a piece of my heart, but I've been waiting for this book from the get-go. I knew that Rhys Mannings had a story to tell, and, y'all, A.L. Jackson did not disappoint. Angst, passion, danger, forbidden love, yep, it's all in this beautiful beautiful story, and I am here for it. With Maggie Fitzgerald as Rhys's Goddess Girl, there was no way in the world that this book was not going to consume me, and, boy, did it.

Here's the thing...I don't think that Amy could write a story that wasn't basically alive with every one of the feelings if she had to. So, when I pick up one of her books, I know. I know that it will be an emotional experience, one that will be as uncomfortable at times as it is beautiful, and I'm okay with that.

I think that Richard said it the best towards the end of the book, and, to paraphrase him, how do these beautiful souls keep ending up in these adrenaline pumping, heart in the throat, epic race that has us, the readers, right there with them, on the edge of our seats, desperate to see how everything will unfold. I'm telling you, I am wrung out when I finish one of these books, but in the most wonderful way.

I am so sorry to see the end of this series, because with it comes an end to characters that I've known and loved since Amy kicked off the Bleeding Stars books. It truly is like saying goodbye to some really great friends, but I can't think of a better way to wrap things up.

This is the kind of book that will stay with me for a very long time, and I cannot recommend BENEATH THE STARTS or any of them enough. Readers that love a book that will turn you inside out in the best possible way ought to have every one of these books on their TBR. I have no doubt that you will absolutely fall in love. ❤️
