To trust someone so completely was rare and raw. To live with the scars and still find a love so raw and freeing. During this story I felt every year and ago. I loved that Gran was someone who did what see a painted lips. My only real issue with the story was how Lottie’s character wasn’t developed more. Hawk is an idiot but he is forgiven because he remembers the feathers. Over all I was really excited reading this story. I was sadden and troubled over the beginning. The background was short but it gave you a glimpse of what life she had to get over. I was shocked and sick over the ages some of this girls were when they were taken.
Feathers – A Novel, by Kylie Stewart, was an emotionally raw read. This story is not all roses and fairy tales, but faces the dark, dingy and hard world that exists that we don’t often think of. The way Kylie Stewart wove that into the story was seamless and showcases the authors talent in creating an in depth story with strong emotional draws the reader in. Charlotte’s character is amazing, despite the obstacles and struggles within her life, she finds something to hold on to. I found Charlotte to be multi-dimensional and full of opportunity in this story, to find that the author fully dove into this and outdid herself. The tug and pull in the relationship between Charlotte and Hawk has the reader sitting on the edge of their seat waiting to see the string break and the aftermath that is inevitable. This story includes a cast of characters that are amazing!
Feathers was an emotional 5 star read.
Right from the start I was pulled right in. Charlotte was in a living nightmare, she was sold by her mothers boyfriend and was held captive by a local gang. What they would do to her was heartbreaking. Until one day she finds herself being taken to a home, where a woman has bought her, Mrs. Ames. There might be a girl of only fourteen standing before her, but that girls soul was dead.
At first she isn’t sure what to expect but she starts to let her guard down as she gets to know everyone. This is where she also meets Hawk, Mrs. Ames’s grandson.
Hawk see’s it all the time, girls being saved by his grandmother. Using him to show them that not all men are bad. When he saw Charlotte the first time he was pulled in by her, she was different than the others. Hawk also has been deeply hurt, wondering why he was abandoned. Would my past strangle me and prove me damaged? – Hawk
Two souls desperate to trust, willing to fall, and hopelessly entwined by a string of fate.
These two end up developing a great connection. Hawk was so good to Charlotte. There is so much more to this great read. Your heart goes out to both of them and what they went through, these two were meant for each other in so many ways. Charlotte was a strong character. All of the secondary characters were great. I liked the ending but would love to see more from these two. I look forward to reading more from Kylie, she pulls you right in with her writing.

This is my first read by this author and I loved it…The storyline was awesome and started out strong and never really let go…It moved fast and didn’t include a lot of unneeded descriptions or filler words..I completely enjoyed the writing style and read this book in one sitting.
Lottie was an amazing young girl that had been through things noone should ever even have to imagine much less go through, and her strength did nothing but grow as the story progressed. One of my favorite characters in this story was Mrs. Ames, everything about her was perfect. Hawk was a young man looking towards a future, watching his grandmother help many broken young girls was something he was used to. He had his own broken past and was not at all prepared for the young broken girl that his grandmother had saved from an awful experience.
The way this story progressed was done perfectly in my opinion. It wasn’t a perfect journey where happily ever after happened immediately, I loved that the story was told in two points of view, that helped in really feeling what was going on.
I will definitely be looking at what else this author has available, I enjoyed every word.
Loved It!!

This was not what I expected, as I went into this book blind. I felt so many emotions in this book, I was right with Lottie through them all.
I really liked Lottie and the strength she had as she grew up. She took what negative things happened to her and grew from them, even if they tried to hold her back.
I really loved her wish she had at Christmas and how it was thought out throughout the story. And i hope to see more of these characters in more stories!
Feathers by Kylie Stewart is a story that you will find yourself thinking about after you finish it. It is so well written that while reading you felt like you were there, living it with Charlotte “Little Lottie” and Hawk, and because you were living it with them then you keep feeling it in your bones …
Kylie has given us two old souls that both carry such burden that at times you were wondering how they were able to function as ‘normal’ as they did … you could clearly see why they were drawn to each other and how Charlotte was able to trust a man – Hawk. You feel for them and you hope that together they would learn how to be free and how to find happiness, even if it takes years! Feathers is an emotional rollercoaster that moves slowly so you are forced to feel deep. I noticed that that there will be Wings novella so I am looking forward to where the journey will take our Charlotte and Hawk!
I loved this book. It is a little dark in places but it is a hard to put down book that I read in one sitting. I loved how it pulled me in from the first word. It took me on an emotional roller coaster that I had to have more of. Charlotte has a dark past which has caused her to put up walls. Hawk is good at hiding his unhappiness behind his cold demerer. Will they be able to break into each other’s hearts? They are great characters with strong chemistry. Their story is a must read.

“I vowed never to trust another man as long as I lived, but Hawk had begun to break down that promise. He was good. Kind. And for the first time, I really believed that everything would be okay.”
Feathers: A Novel is an incredible story by the very talented Kylie Stewart. This story took me on a journey I won’t soon forget, scrambling my emotions along the way. The story has a dark edge to it, especially in the beginning. There is lots of pain, feelings of betrayal, hopelessness, and fear- then some rays of light and sense of hope appear. With plenty of chemistry, angst, passion, and of course romance- this story had me hook right till the end.
Charlotte Waters has endured something that no one should ever have to experience, especially a child. She was sold by her drug- addicted mother’s low-life boyfriend- to a gang who kept her captive for a year, treating her deplorably- she was living a nightmare existence- before she was finally ‘brought’ and released from that hell.
It’s then that she meets Hawk McLean, who has his own baggage- but who also ignites a spark deep within her. These two develop a connection that transcends all bounds. I really won’t disclose more than that, because it would spoil the story for you, I really recommend diving in, and letting the author and story weave their magic- it’s well worth the read!
The story is very emotive- sweeping me through the whole spectrum of emotions- and keeping me on tenterhooks the entire time. I really felt for Lottie and what she had endured. I admired her strength, bravery and resilience- she was so much stronger than she believed. I was rooting for her/them the whole way through. There were some really sweet, tender, and touching scenes- and a whole lot of sizzle. I loved the ‘meaning’ behind the ‘Feathers’, and the fact that fate put these two on a collision course- to teach each other to ‘fly’ . The characters were just superb!!
I can’t wait to read ‘Wings’ when it releases!
Thank you, Ms. Stewart!

The story Feathers by Kylie Stewart is an amazing book that I loved reading. It is a story that hooked me in from the very beginning and I found myself lost in its pages. It is a book that had my emotions going up and down right along with the characters. I loved reading about the characters of Charlotte Waters and Hawk McLean. Charlotte is a young woman who has said that she will never trust men again. Her life has shown her the cruelty of others. Then she meets Hawk. Hawk is a man that has had a lot of emotional turmoil in his life. From a young age, he feels the pain of abandonment and unhappiness. Then he meets Charlotte. She finds herself trusting him. He feels that she has an old soul, one that reaches out to him. They both find an attraction to each other. Will they listen to their hearts? Will he keep a distance from her or will Hawk and Charlotte find their way to each other? Read this book to find out. This story has intense and emotional dialogue. I grew to care about the characters of Hawk and Charlotte with each chapter that I read and wanted them to find happiness. There is passion and desire. There are also steamy scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. There are additional characters that are introduced and I enjoyed reading about the part they play in the story and their interactions with Hawk and Charlotte. This is a story that once I started, I didn’t want to put down until I had finished. It is a book I would highly recommend reading.
