AMBER to ASHES
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
GAIL McHUGH
In AMBER TO ASHES (Atria Paperback; June 9th, 2015), 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 devastating event changes everything, shattering each of their lives...and Amber isn’t sure she can recover from it.

Holy shit. I mean HOLY SHIT...
I have to say that this book has given me the ultimate book hangover. SO much so that I haven't been able to read anything in almost 2 weeks. I tried, but all I could think about was the outcome to this story. The absolute conviction of love that Ryder and Brock have for Amber is just bewildering. I have to say that I have loved and hated all three of these characters at some point in the story. I'm definitely team Ryder though. Brock had his moments for me, but in the end I had to go with the pure chemistry between Amber and Ryder.
“Just like faith, love is another misconception held by those who believe in fairy tales. Fairy Tales don't exist; neither do knights on white horses. In my honest opinion every book princess in history was a stupid, naive twit.”
The characters that Gail McHugh has developed are beautifully damaged, undeniably tainted and have haunted my waking thoughts for the past weeks. The desperation, want, need, angst, lust, and agony create moments that you'll never forget. This story is purely magic, dark magic. I've never read a book quite like this and unless it's the upcoming novel(s) to this – I probably never will. Amber to ashes enchants you like no other, with dark undertones and animalistic sexual desire.
There are so many things that I want to tell you about this novel, but I can't bring myself to tell you because this story is too epic to even tell you a little! All I have to say is Gail McHugh is a GENIOUS. I've undoubtedly become a true fangirl. I can't tell you how much I am anticipating her next release. I. Must. Own. Them. ALL. Also, YOU MUST TOO!! Hands down this is THE book to read this year. Oh, and next year too. Let's just say this is THE book to read foreverrrrrrrrrr! Or should I say Series.......
So I'm gonna go crawl in a hole now until Gail McHugh's next release. See that rock over there? Yes. Over there. I'll be under it, so send some blankets, pillows, and food... and if you can make it happen – send over Gail, so I can hug her for such an incredible, impressionable, hauntingly beautiful, expressive read.
