From Ashes

I tell you what, I am not one to write reviews. But, I figured after like my 6th time reading this book, I might as well. I will never get over this book. I will go MONTHS without thinking of it, but one thing will happen, it’ll remind me of Gage or Cassidy, and I find myself needing to read it again. Molly McAdams is by far my most favorite author and she puts her characters together so well. Please, read. It is 100% worth it. And Molly, thank you so much for the laughs, tears, and pure happiness.

I’m loved this novel. I felt every emotion from pain to happiest of Cassidy and Gage. I could stop reading it. The book drew me in on levels that I can’t explain. I never experienced anything like Cassidy childhood; but its like I felt every blow, panic attack and all her uncertainty. Oh my gosh; I felt Gage’s broken heart every time. It was his words of loving and not having Cassidy that actually made me cry. Simply written, but words jumped off the page right into me.

What took me so long to get to this story?! I love Molly's work she is an amazing author and this did not disappoint. This story was truly great it had so much going on but at the same time it had everything I as a reader needed to fill in the story and make me feel like I was part of it. Cassi's life growing up was heartbreaking living with a beyond abusive mother and step father. The beginning of the story is heartbreaking enough then you find out just how Jeff "rewarded" her mother after abusing Cassidy and let me tell you it is so unimaginable and disgusting I never would of thought it, or thought a mother could even do that to her Daughter. You meet Ty from the very beginning and you think he's the sweetest and practically Cassidy's hero then you meet Gage and see the situation from his perspective and you see just how wrong Ty is and get mad at him for not going to the proper authorities all those years ago. I do believe in love at first site and Gage new as soon as he saw Cassidy that she was it for him. The story progresses and they go through ups and downs but true love always finds its way back. I will say I loved the twist with Detective Green. I will say I wish more would of happened with that situation :) but Molly knows best and the story ended up being perfect. I enjoyed reading the letter from Cassidy's mother it really added to the story. Despite all that she put Cassidy through it did make my heart hurt just a little bit for her Mother. I knew as soon as Cassidy started reading the letter her mom had done what she did on purpose. It's sad Cassidy had no clue her Mom had been sober for 3 months but I think how everything happened was best for Cassidy. I am thankful she had Conner to help her work through that time and she was able to not feel bad about not knowing her mom was sober and that what her Mother did was what she had to do for herself.

It got better toward the middle and then rushed a bit. The beginning started off good but then it was a whole lot of no one talking about obvious stuff which caused issues that went on for a long time. And the cover should have had people that fit the characters....the guys in the cover are way to young and skinny for the description in the book.

Mollys books just keep you glued to the pages, started reading and didn't want to stop needed to know what was going to happen next. Love this one!

It may just be me but when I get into an amazing book I amerce myself in it and become lost within the pages and this book is such an emotional roller coaster I've thrown my phone at least 5 times now and I haven't even completely finish the book. But it's an AMAZING READ yet it plays with your emotions. Can't wait to see the outcome.

First half of book was a great read and then it started to get predictable. Nice, easy read though; I enjoyed it!

Molly....you have once again left me with a book hangover. I've read many of your books & you get me every time. I really enjoy reading stories that give the main characters a chance to understand what they're feeling & thinking. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy reading stories about single characters & their point of view but I'm always intrigued to get to hear what's going on in others heads. This story hits home for me & it's stories like this that give the survivors strength to keep going & to keep pushing. Thank you Molly.

I am so frustrated. This book is frustrating. I usually never like to leave reviews but this book apparently makes me want to write a review. There's too much going on in this book, it's annoying. It jumps from one scenario to another without any explanation or follow up. At this point, I hate the main character Cassidy. I just can't with this book. If you want to be frustrated, be my guest. I can't even finish it.

Molly McAdams has a fantastic way of writing a love story! She has a way with words and I will be reading everything she writes!
