I have always enjoyed reading Cassia Leo. With reading Amber Sky is no different. Cassidy and Marc were amazing characters with an emotional connection that will leave you in awe. I definitely recommend reading this book without a doubt.
I wish I could give this book the review it deserves, but I’m afraid I’ll give something away that you need to read for yourself. I will say, our mind is an amazing “machine” Sometimes the mind takes a break and sometimes it breaks down completely. This story is beautiful, haunting and so real. Cassia Leo is an amazing story teller and in this book she addresses several tough subjects and spins them into a mind blowing must read.
Remember the amber sky
The book starts off with a woman traveling down the middle of nowhere with no cell service and a dying navigation system. Something terrible happens, the whole electrical system goes out and she veers off road and wrecks. A mystery man saves her from the wreckage and brings her back to his place as they are currently over 100 miles from town. Could Shadow be someone she knows? “I’d rather have a cloud of dust than a shadow.” She finds that the house and Shadow seem familiar to her, but without her memory (a side effect from the wreck) she can’t figure out why. Could this be a strong sense of a past life love? Wow, I must say I was holding onto every word, looking for every clue.
This book is phenomenal. Absolutely loved it. Cassia you have such a beautiful way with words.
This book was written so different from any other book I’ve read. Marc and Cass seemed like such a great fit as far as couples went but they had their issues that were causing problems. Especially since Marc was holding secrets from Cass. Then Cass takes a road trip and meets Walker. I was so torn I who I liked better for her. Let’s just say I was in for a surprise on how everything played out. This story was full of emotion. There were funny parts, sad parts, heart breaking parts and sweet parts.
Every now and then, I read a book that sucks me in and doesn’t allow me to put it down. Not just because the characters are dynamic and the plotline is interesting and gripping but because of the feel of the book. When a writer can make you feel their character’s anxiety, fear, hope, when they can make the story play out like a movie in your head then you know you have a great book in your hands. Amber Sky is that type of book.
Told entirely in the POV of Cassidy O’Conner as she deals with the aftermath of a car accident in a rural area while contemplating the circumstances that had her in the car on a dark night to begin with, the story moves between her past and present. She reveals the heartbreak, confusion, and devastation that she and her husband, Marc have struggled with over the past year while still maintaining their love and unusually close bond.
Cassia Leo has crafted a beautiful story of strength and perseverance, truth and devotion that celebrates life in all its forms. A surreal, emotional story that will blow you away.
I finished this book a few days ago and I keep thinking about this story.
Cassia sucked me in from page one, I couldn’t put it down as I wanted answers. Like always, my predictions were way off base but as with all Cassia Leo books, she plays with your emotions but it always plays out perfectly
I loved every word. Every character. Every OMG moment and revelation.
I can’t say too much as you need to experience it for yourself. Amber Sky is a heart wrenchingly beautiful story and you won’t regret reading it.
Cassia Leo continues to surprise readers with her intelligent writing, her captivating stories, and her relatable characters.
I was speechless after finishing Amber Sky. This story takes you on the journey of a woman trying to find happiness in her marriage. She finds herself lost after an accident and then found by a stranger. This is where everything starts, as she begins to question her sanity.
There is so much emotion, so many issues with trust, and love that shows in different ways. You will find yourself identifying with a woman who never gives up despite the wrenches life throws at her. You will feel for a man who doesn’t know how to show his love, yet can’t let her go.
Make sure you pay attention to every detail because just when you think you know where the story is taking you, you will find yourself being taken in a different direction.
It was an emotional read full of love, pain, and heartache. Yet, you will find that it’s one of the best
I love everything that Cassia Leo writes. Amber Sky is a beautifully written story full of love, loss, and forgiveness. This has become one of my top favorite Cassia books.
This book flips back and forth between the past and present but is very easy to keep up with. The love that Cassidy and Marc share is heartbreakingly beautiful. They are meant to be together but secrets that they keep start to push them apart. After tragedy strikes they quickly learn that their deep connection can get them through anything if they can be open and honest with one another.
I loved the connection between Cassidy and Marc. This story took many twists and turns but I loved every second of it. I loved all the emotions it pulled out of me and can’t wait to see what Cassia is working on next! This is a must read book by Cassia!!
Amber Sky immediately sucked me in. I always wonder how Cassia Leo is able to make me feel every emotion with every book she writes. Each one is better than the previous one.
Cassidy O’Conner endures a tragedy at the beginning of the book and is saved by a stranger, Walker Ainsley. Their story is one of heartache, endurance, and pure, raw emotion. I read this book so slowly that I wanted to absorb every little clue and detail in order to piece together the puzzle.
Amber Sky has now skyrocketed as my new favorite read of 2019. All I can say is that if you haven’t read anything by Cassia Leo, then read this book. If you’re a seasoned fan like me, you won’t be disappointed.
This book is so vastly different from anything Cassia has written. I love going between past and present. I love getting to know the characters on a deeper level. This book is so emotionally charged and there was never good place to stop for the night, so I’d read until I fell asleep only to pick it right back up in the morning. Cassia outdid herself with this one. You’ll love it, I promise.
I don’t have words to adequately Express my feelings about this masterpiece of a story. It is love and loss, heartbreak and healing, grief and miracle, and everything in between. It’s a love story that defies categories. It’s a story you don’t know you need. Cassia’s plot is clever and unique. I haven’t been so enraptured by a story since Cassia’s Dirt, Seed, Bloom trilogy.
I do recommend going in blind for this book. It is so worth it to make the discoveries for yourself.
In my opinion if felt like Cassia Leo wrote Amber Sky from something very personal experiences. In my opinion Cassia Leo did a great job of bringing this story to life. Amber Sky does have flashbacks which I hate they usually slow the flow of the story. In my opinion Cassia Leo did a good job of overcoming this obstacle, I thought the story flowed. Once I knew who all the characters were I figured out what was going to happen, I was okay with that. I figured it out pretty early in the story. I always continue reading just to see if I’m right with my predictions. I found this story full of hope, resilience and love. I found Marc and Cassidy two very strong people. There is love, loss and pain all wrapped in one story. I found the way Cassia Leo handle all this very intriguing and on the edge of my seat. If you are a Cassia Leo fan I don’t think you will be disappointed. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader’s copy.
I don’t feel as if there is much I can say about this book without giving some of it away. What I can say is that I truly adore Cassidy and Marc. They truly love one another and the bond they share is stronger than any other and can sustain anything.
Amber Sky, by Cassia Leo, was absolutely phenomenal!! The story of Cassidy and Marc is so sweet…
It starts with Cassidy getting into an accident and getting saved by a man who lives a very remote, sheltered life. She has some amnesia which comes back in spurts while she recovers. The story flips back and forth over the last year leading up to the accident, and covers Cassidy’s issues with pregnancy, her family, and Marc. I loved Marc’s character so much, and I felt so much sympathy for him.
The story is poignantly beautiful with a surprise ending… although, I kinda figured it out about halfway through!! I absolutely love Cassia’s book, and this is probably one of my favorites of hers (although the Shoot for the Heart series is still my #1).
I 100% recommend this book!! It was a beautiful read that left me in tears!!
I recieved an ARC for my honest review.
4.5 Captivating Stars!
This one was so different, so GOOD! Cassia Leo has a way of weaving a story that pulls me in and makes it hard for me to put down. The characters were so full of depth and like a flower they bloom right before your eyes over time. I enjoyed the moving from Now and Then in this one, the Parallels and trying to figure them out as the story progressed. The ending pulls everything together and leaves you with that warm feeling and a book hangover….it was hard picking up another book right away!
Pick this one up ~ It is a journey YOU just have to take to appreciate how wonderful this book truly is!
Amber Sky is a surprising and heartbreaking journey. Cassia Leo will keep you guessing as she weaves a story of heartbreak, loss, hope, and love. There are so many different and intriguing elements to this story that was unexpected, but in a really good way. I consumed Amber Sky in one sitting just to see how all the pieces came together in a great ending.
I devoured this book. I couldn’t put it down until I finished it, because the intensity of the plot grabbed my attention to a level that I couldn’t think straight.
Amber Sky is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of love and courage. It’s about a woman that never gave up. It’s about a man that couldn’t let her go. Its about a love that would never die!
Emotions twirl around every page making us feel and opening our eyes for what’s important in life. And the details! Please pay attention to every detail because by the end of the book I’m sure you’ll be surprised by what you aren’t seeing coming your way!
Absolutely a MUST READ and a 2019 favorite!
OMG this is the most emotional book I have read this year.
From the first page this story is raw,real,hard hitting with great characters. I can’t leave a normal review as this story hits you right away and there is no way to leave one without a spoiler and it is one story you need to read to experience this emotional rollercoaster ride for yourself. I will say that when you read it you will not be disappointed but word of warning have tissues and don’t be in public as people may think you got devastating news, it’s that powerful of a story.
This book has an emotionally haunting feel.
It sucked me in and I felt it the whole time I was reading it and even after I was finished.
It goes between present day and past.
A couple struggling and a woman lost with a stranger that helps her after an accident.
Trust issues are a theme explored in so many different ways. Blame and forgiveness are central to the plot.
Memory, a very important aspect to the story as well.
I read it in one sitting. I had to know how it was going to end and what else the story was going to reveal!
Pay attention to details and enjoy the journey! The end was very surprising!
It’s full of emotions and a very unique story!
If you love emotional books with a head scratching mystery this is for you!!
I am speechless right now after reading the hauntingly beautiful story. Amber Sky was not at all what I was expecting. Cassia Leo took us on a journey you have to experience for yourself. It is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.
I have a major book hangover now and cannot stop thinking about Amber Sky. Trust me when I say you want to read this book. You will be pulled in from page one.
Words can’t describe how much I loved this book. I am not going to say anything about it because you need to experience this journey going in blind. Trust me you don’t want this story ruined for you. Amber Sky was a breath of fresh air that I can’t stop thinking about. I think this is my new favorite Cassia Leo book.
