Ashes of Sin and Stardust (AnchorX) by Lindsay Murray – Review by Emily Nolden

Ashes of Sin and Stardust by Lindsay Murray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great story, and well written. A very steamy romance, that keeps you turning pages until you realize its 4 AM and you have to be up in the next hour.

Each character was very relatable in some sort of way, never feeling like someone was misplaced. The author was very detailed, building an amazing world, giving you the reader an outstanding amount of knowledge to know what is going on in the story. But that knowledge also helped you understand each character in the book and where they come from, and why they act the way that they do. The downside with such detail was, especially in the beginning, it was such a slow read. I just sat there hoping something would happen, hoping things would pick up. Or sometimes the details would become way too specific, and left me wondering, “why do I need to know this?” “why am I reading this?”. As the story progressed it did become so much better!

Each character had some sort of history and connection with each other, that definitely made everything more interesting.

This was a darker story, and when the author gives the warning that this book is real, that the book is raw, and the book is emotional and dark, she really means it. I am not trying to scare a single reader from reading this book, because trust me it was so very good. But it did have some triggers, that I thought I could handle, that made me shut down a bit and have to take a break.

This author makes you feel! All in all, it was a great book, but I had to lower down to 4 stars because you can’t give half star ratings, and I personally couldn’t give this 5 stars. It was a very lengthy book, but was eloquently written too.
