Review: Amber to Ashes (Torn Hearts #1) by Gail McHugh

*****5 Stars*****
 
 
This is possibly the biggest unexpected book I have read in a long time. I have read Gail’s other books which were fab but this was a totally different writing style but in a good way and really shows the authors flexibility when it comes to shifting within the genres.
So on to the story. Amber has a dark past, no family and a history with foster families. She uproots and moves towns, goes to a new college and starts afresh all whilst guarding her heart with a brick wall. After a not so accidental trip in the cafeteria she ends up with her face in the lap of Ryder then ultimately seduced by his best friend Brock which is the start of a brutal triangle of love, lies and brutality. I can’t say much on the story line because it’s one of those books where any plot giveaway would be a spoiler. What I can say is if you aren’t a fan of triangles then this book isn’t for you. However if you can stomach that along with some darkness and brutality then you need to get reading this epic tale of wonder, which will have you hooked from the first word. I really need book 2 to find out where it goes next as the ending also leaves you full of wonder with a big fat gasp of omg what happens next. So yes cliff hanger warning and book hangover for you all. Enjoy !! Well done Gail excellent job well done!

From the New York Times bestselling author of Collide and Pulse comes a gritty new novel about a shattered young woman who unexpectedly falls for two best friends as she struggles to overcome the trauma of her tormented childhood.

They were a storm I never saw coming, an unforeseen heartbreak on the edge of a dangerous cliff.

Amber Moretti's life changes in the span of minutes. An orphaned outsider, she is desperate to start fresh the moment she walks onto campus. In the time it takes to cross the university’s dining hall, she meets two men who bring color, air, and light to her darkened world.

They became my addiction, each a needle to my next hit, my high.

Brock Cunningham’s appeal is dizzying, a potent force Amber can’t deny. A green-eyed smooth talker, he instantly attracts Amber. It doesn’t take long for him to consume her every thought, her every breath.

Ryder Ashcroft, a blue-eyed, tattooed, and pierced bad boy, turns Amber off immediately—that is, until he kisses her, stealing a piece of her heart, her soul.

They were as opposite as fire and ice, yet I ached for them equally.

Never knowing she could be broken down in so many unexpectedly beautiful yet petrifying ways, Amber finds herself falling for both men.

Immoral? Maybe. I say undeniable. Uncontained.

But one event changes everything, shattering each of their lives…and Amber isn’t sure she can come back from it.
