![]() ![]() ![]() Andi Ardnt, hands down my favorite female narrator. *side note, I listened to this on audible as well. AL Jackson’s books just do something to my poet’s soul, and this one was everything that I needed. All in my feelings and transported to a world I never wanted to leave. Reading Kiss the Stars reminded me a lot of how I felt when I read A Stone in the Sea for the first time. That might not be in Webster’s dictionary, but it’s in my smutty dictionary, and right beside it is a picture of Leif. Let me tell you, alpha hero’s might be hot AF but my god if I don’t love an angsty brooding rockstar. ![]() ![]() The new being Lyriks sister Mia as our heroine, and Leif, the drummer from that little band mentioned in AL Jacksons books, Caroline George. The old being all the favorites from the Bleeding Stars Series as secondary characters. In her newest release, Kiss the Stars, we get some of the old with a lot of the new. I could get lost in it all if there wasn’t a meticulously placed story that always seems to captivate me. The care she takes with each one gives the book such an effortless, romantic movement. Something I find myself thinking when I am reading a book by AL Jackson is that her words really are a serenade. ![]()
