Second chances. How many of us will ever actually get that? How much pain and suffering does one need to go through to earn such a gift. Alora Kate delivers a heart-wrenching story about just that. This paranormal novel with a splash of romance will keep you reading from start to finish in one sitting just to find out what happens next. I fell in love with the characters and thought the storyline was solid and very well thought out. I recommend this book to anyone who believes in soul mates and happily ever afters.
I’m always thrilled when I run across something a bit different from the norm, and Crash Burn Sting is certainly different. Different than what I expected. Different than anything I’ve read before. In a thoroughly good way. This original take on guardian angels is emotional – like great big tears emotional – so have the tissues ready, but it’s impossible not to get caught up in Rawson and Ysabelle. It’s a story of love, soulmates, loss, grief, revenge, and redemption. Much like real life, things aren’t always what they seem and they don’t always turn out the way we hope, but it all happens for a reason. All in all, another beautifully written, emotional tale from this author.
“We all crash and that it’ll burn or sting, but we have to get back up, brush ourselves off, and keep going.”
What an amazingly well written story. It was raw and gritty and sweet. Rawson, reincarnated as cupid has to help people to fall in love to determine his future. The problem, he doesn’t believe in love anymore. With the help of Oath and Ysabelle, Rawson will be forced to face his inner demons to have his HEA. This is a very different love story that had so many feels.
When I started to read this book, I wasn’t honestly prepared for the remarkable journey Alora would take me on as she told the story of Rawson and Ysabelle.It’s one of those books that will give you a book hangover like you’ve never had.
Rawson is a man who has lived a life of unmeasurable happiness at times, and the lowest point of tragedy you could ever face. All of this before he even lost his life. But then, somehow he’s brought back along with his guardian angel, Oath. In his mind, his death was a valid one and he’s done enough wrong that he doesn’t deserve to go to a better place. Why can’t he just be shipped to Hell already? He doesn’t even know if he truly believes in Heaven after all that was taken away from him when he was alive. When he died he wasn’t even recognizable to himself. Now he has to rehash everything yet again and for what? What can he really gain from all of this? He thinks he knows where he belongs.
Ysabelle is a young woman who has struggled through life, yet managed to be brought back from death a few times. She doesn’t know what her purpose is in the world, only that she wants to give what she feels is right to others. Compassion, understanding, and even love. She believes in a higher power and knows that the reasons for her still being apart of this world is for a reason. Those reasons though are unknown to her. Or so she thinks. How can her life change yet again and will she get answers to all her questions?
There are two moments in both characters lives where they have been put together unbeknownst to them. They have no clue that what happens from one particular moment and forward will not only change their roles in the world, but those around them. How scary is that? They meet once again and the journey that unfolds is a breathtaking roller coaster that has you asking a million questions.
When I was done with this book, I was emotionally drained, my face hurt from all the tears, my chest ached and I had to use a hand towel for my nose because the tissues weren’t enough through my emotional ride. I swear I felt everything they felt, my heart ached for every rough moment, made my heart soar for every positive moment and made me laugh at the rather creative and clever characters that join this duo. Trust me when I say I’ve never read a book that tackles a spiritual theme quite like this. In the end, I was a hot mess but thankful for it. Because I found myself processing emotions I didn’t think I still had in regards to life and loss. With each book Alora shares with us you can see her dedication to her characters, their stories and her readers. She blows us away with the journey we share with them and leaves us wanting more. This is by far one of the best books I’ve ever read. I encourage you to pick this book up! Embrace it, keep an open mind and overall, find peace. Because what you may expect, could be shattered.
Well done my friend, well done!
