A review by bookishmya
Skies Over Caledonia by Samantha Young

adventurous emotional hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

This book has me SHOOK, capital letters SHOOK with emotion. Confrontations that had me literally clamping a hand over my mouth in utter shock. A third act breakup that literally ripped my heart out. One thing after another but so completely fabulous. I am most definitely going back for all the rest of this series. This story has had me so emotionally invested I didn’t think I could get anymore invested, but the last 1/4 of the book had me on emotional tenterhooks. I had goosebumps, tears, tremors. I have not been so physically impacted by a story in a very long time. Not just the romance but the family healing and trauma rep were so impactful. The audio performance was literal perfection!! Shane East continues to wow in my ‘East’ audio marathon. The amount of emotion he and Stella Hunter were able to pull from me with their narration surprised even me. This review is a hot mess because after reading this story, I am a hot mess! I can’t even wrap my head around all of the emotions that have been wrought out of my body in the past 8 hours (yes, 8 hrs! Because I could not walk away. Once I was in it, there was no turning back.)
