Wait by A.L. Jackson
5.0
“Desperate to run. Desperate to hide. Because I didn’t know how to face this. All the memories we’ve made. The hurt he inflicted. The hope he crushed. The love that had never dimmed. It all stared back at me now, held in the depths of those tumultuous eyes that always saw far too much.”
“Hope sparked in that dark, dark place. That place that only her light could reach. There were so many mistakes I’d made that I could never redeem. But maybe…just maybe…this one I could vindicate.”
“Do you feel that, Edie Evans?” “What?” “Me”
How does she do it? I really don’t know or understand how she can manage to just slay me every time. I know I’ve said it time and time again, but each time A.L. Jackson writes a book, she manages to blow me away. Every. Single. Time. Each time, I set the bar high, she blows my expectations out of the water. When I pick up an AL Jackson story, it’s like falling in love for the first time. It’s heart-pounding. It’s all-consuming and before I know it, the story has become a part of my heart and soul and I’ll never be able to forget it…..
Wait is the fourth book in the Bleeding Stars Series, but can be read as a stand-alone. This book is well written and utterly captivating. The writing is so lyrical and completely spellbinding. From the moment you pick up this book, you are swept away and lost in the story that AL Jackson has created. Before you know it, you will have devoured the entire book and will be taken on the most incredible and emotional journey.
Told from dual points of view, Wait follows the story of Edie and Austin. Edie and Austin’s story is not an easy one. It is heartbreaking and intense. From the moment you meet these two, you know right away that there is something deep here, something so intense, it will have you begging to know more. Edie and Austin shared a past and haunting history. I was so curious and desperate to know what came between these two; what could have possibly torn them apart. You see Edie and Austin shared an intense connection. A chemistry that time and history couldn’t deny. It was fate that brought these two back together and all you could do was just sit back, enjoy the ride and pray for the best.
When you meet Edie and Austin, it’s almost impossible to not fall in love and connect with them. They are both so lost and damaged. Their hearts have been broken by their pasts. For so long, the two of them have always taken the easy way out and ran from their problems, but when fate brought these two back together, it was like they were given a second chance. A chance to face their problems, to face their past, and finally give into the passion and love that they’ve always shared. My heart went out to Edie. I was devastated by what she had experienced and how it shaped her life. I wanted so badly for her to find some happiness. And Austin….Gosh….He was so perfect for Edie. You could tell that he loved her deeply and fiercely. He wasn’t in any way perfect and had demons of his own that haunted him. He was going to mess up and make mistakes and I think that’s what I loved most about him; he wasn’t perfect.
There are so many other things that I could tell you about this book, but I’m not going to do that. I’m not going to spoil the beauty of this book. What I can tell you is that I loved it. I thought Edie and Austin’s story was beautiful and intense. It was heartbreaking and angst filled. It had romance and some seriously steamy moments. There were secrets and lies and unexpected twists. Edie and Austin’s story ripped my heart out, only to put it back together again. AL Jackson has once again taken me on an emotional journey that I will never forget. She puts so much heart and so much soul into her stories. Her writing and characters have consumed my heart and obliterated any expectations that I had…..I definitely recommend checking this book out.
