AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
I'm left speechless here...
I just… I’m lost for words here. My heart is breaking… so
completely broken. Life is made up of moments… happy and beautiful moments,
heartbreaking and completely unbelievable moments. That’s what When the Ashes
Fall is… it’s a book full of moments. I spent half of this book wondering and
kind of confused a bit but over time things in my brain started to click. I
didn’t like how they were clicking. After finishing, I can tell you that I don’t
like how everything clicked into space. I was surprised to feel the tears
running down my face. Let’s just say it’s packed with so much emotion and
heart.
The narrators show an amazing talent. We flip and flop
between past and present and various character’s POV. Ava Erickson shows a
talent that is… well, I really don’t know how I’m supposed to explain how
wonderful she was. She really hit Boston on the dot! Rose’s voice made me want
to holler out in that New England accent that you just can’t replicate. Aiden
Snow and Teddy Hamilton were just as fantastic. They make you feel… like you
don’t have a chance. They pull it from you.
Can I just recommend, don’t read reviews that tell you what
is happening. Don’t get little tidbits. You’re mind will start to have things
click into place… just like mine did. Marni Mann’s writing was perfection. This
story is just want you want from a book. The plot, the characters, everything
feels so real. It’s all-consuming!
Excerpt:
She stared at the cake as she spoke. And I gazed at her, checking out the way she speared off another bite. How she stuck the fork between her lips.
How the utensil came out of her mouth clean.
It was incredibly sexy.
So was she.
She didn’t even have to try. It came natural to her.
As natural as her looks.
A beauty that went so deep, she didn’t need makeup to enhance it.
She didn’t wear much of it anyway. There wasn’t anything on her lips, no color on her lids, just thick lashes and some pink on her cheeks.
She had no idea how gorgeous she was.
If I told her, I was sure she wouldn’t believe me.
Alix’s confidence came when she talked about her job.
I could tell how much she loved it by the passion in her voice, by the way she described how she’d helped the old man.
What she did was something I hadn’t been able to visualize at first. Now that I’d spent more time with her, it was all I could see.
Damn it, I wanted to touch her.
I’d kept my hands off of her while she was eating the gyro and fries.
But I didn’t want to wait any longer.
Once she swallowed the mouthful, I said, “Alix …”
I needed her eyes on me to see the way she would look at me, how she would respond to the sound of my voice.
That would determine if I could reach for her right now or if I’d have to wait.
Her stare slowly lifted and landed on mine.
Shyness was peeking through her expression.
Still, every sign was there—the desire in her glare, the increased breathing, the way her tongue was swiping across her lips. It wasn’t frosting she was licking off because there wasn’t any there.
I dropped the small box of cake on the ground. She didn’t watch it fall, but when she heard the sound, I saw the hunger in her grow.
I took a step.
He did, too, in the opposite direction at the same time she dropped her cake.
She said nothing as I continued to move toward her, backing her up to the side of the building until her body was pressed against it.
As I stood inches away, I lifted my hands to the top of her head where they pushed into the brick. “You can stop me.”
Her voice was soft, not weak, as she looked up at me and said, “I’m not sure I can.”
