Phoenix

Stardust, Book 1

By: Autumn Reed, Julia Clarke

Narrated by: Emily Lawrence

All Haley Jones wants for her 18th birthday is answers.

Thanks to an overprotective dad and a secluded existence in the Sierra Nevada wilderness, Haley has never experienced a typical life. Her dad claims there's a good reason for their isolation, but he refuses to tell her why, delaying her questions with the promise of answers when she turns 18.

That day has finally arrived, but the explanation raises more questions than answers. And when Haley wishes for the chance to explore the world, she finds that the old adage rings true - be careful what you wish for.

Contains mature themes.

not ...

I can't see people acting this way.Especially for kidnapped, going shopping with people who are talking the way they are.I just not, I just can't do it.I can't believe it... I had a hard time relating to this book and the character...

Couldn’t listen to

I tried… I tried slowing down and speeding up the speed, but nothing I did helped the annoyance I felt at listening to this woman narrate this book. It was like nails on a chalk board.
It’s possible that this is a wonderful story, but I will have to read it for myself.

What a mystery! Good guys or bad?

This RH so far has a very PG start. Haley has been sheltered and secluded most of her life. Everything changes on her 18th birthday. Homeschooled with no high school diploma, identification or driver’s license she must figure out her past, find her father and navigate a world she’s been hidden from for most of her life. She’s taken in by 6 members of an intelligence team. Can she trust them? This book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger as we learn the team is definitely hiding something from her. I usually like a steamier RH but in this case, the story is good and the lack of steam makes sense because although Haley is tough and smart she is also very naive and inexperienced around people especially men. Can’t wait to start the next book!

Love this Series!

This is a slow burning reverse harem series and I love how Haley and the Boy’s relationships progress and the building suspense in each book. This is only book one in the series but I would highly recommend starting this series. It’s well written and enjoyable to series to listen too. Can’t wait for all of the series to be available.

Loved it

This was a thoroughly enjoyable listen. The performance by Emily Lawrence is spot on. This is definitely a slow-burn book, but I really enjoyed the building of the relationships between the MC and the guys. I've already started the next book in the series and look forward to seeing how the plot plays out.
