Ashes of Sin and Stardust (AnchorX) by Lindsay Murray – Review by Betsy Melano
Ashes of Sin and Stardust by Lindsay Murray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
First of all, this is not for young readers! The author is very specific in letting readers know that this book is for adults. Also, there are many trigger topics throughout this book.
Reuben has been dreaming about a girl for years, when Alice finally shows up she is nothing like he expected. Alice has a history of experiences that have cause her some mental illness issues that make her to spiral into depression. Not only that Alice has a tendency to do whatever it takes to push people away.
At first Reuben doesn’t understand how this woman that he’s been dreaming about could be such a big brat, not his usual preference at all. Slowly but surely, Alice gets under his skin. Reuben also finds some information unexpectedly that makes him realize he might be the only one that can truly help Alice.
The author clearly shows what issues these characters have. The characters are written in a way that we can understand how and why they are the way they are. The book may be uncomfortable for many to read.
