Beneath the Indigo Sky by Rayne Hawthorne, D.W. Michaels

5.0

The lovely authors of this book sent me an advanced copy of this e-book and I honestly can’t thank them enough!

I’m not sure I’ve ever read anything that touched me and spoke to me the way this did. Everything about it is absolutely perfect.

The mcs are so captivating and lovable that I just couldn’t help but fall in love with them both immediately! Namid is so mysterious and pure at the same time while Jayce is so kind and sweet if not a little rough around the edges.

It feels a little weird to say this but I’m not sure how else to phrase it… I feel like the grief, loneliness and general sadness that fills this is book is part of what makes it so beautiful. It reminded me that these things are all unavoidable parts of life and even though they hurt us, they can also help us to appreciate the better times and sometimes they can even lead us to people and places we may not have encountered or taken notice of otherwise.

My ramblings are getting a bit out of control now, but I just have to add that the supernatural elements embedded in the plot really helped to set it apart from anything else I’ve read.

I honestly am struggling to put into words just how much this book meant to me, so I’ll end with this… It was so beautifully written that I barely had dry eyes the entire time I was reading it. Even when I was away from my kindle doing other things Jayce and Namid stayed in the front of my mind and I think they’ll stay there for a really long time.
