There hasn't been a Kate Hewitt book that I haven't loved, and this was no exception! Her books are always emotionally charged, and they keep the pages turning, wanting to see how everything turns out. I think everyone can relate to being in situations they never thought they'd find themselves in, and learning how to move on with what life threw at you. Highly recommend!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of The Last Stars in the Sky by Kate Hewitt in exchange for my honest review and opinion. Kate Hewitt is on my list of must read authors so when approved for this it literally made my day. This book is so touching and will make you think about your own life! I absolutely loved this and can say once I started this, I was unable to put it down so clear your schedule!

A beautifully written book with a beautiful story and setting. I went into this book not entirely sure what to expect, but ended up pleasantly surprised.

I thought the first 80 pages or so were a bit hard to get into/slower pacing, but once I got past that part I really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the dual POVs from Alex and Daniel. Overall, I found this to be a pretty emotional read (I did not expect that!) with superb setting descriptions and characterization. I realized after I finished reading that this is a series of 3 books, so I'm excited to read the other two installations! By the end I really found myself rooting for the characters, so I'm motivated to read the 2 other books in the series.

The Last Stars in the Sky by Kate Hewitt is the first book in this beautifully written Lost Lake series. This book just took my breath away from the beginning till the end, I was so glad I had both books to read back to back (I forgot to read this one) and and Wow! this book was superb. I ended up reading it all day ready for the next book within this series.
Kate always writes from her heart and this one was no different. I loved reading this book. It's full of warmth with a great storyline, but, be warned; you will need tissues and lots of them. The Last Stars in the Sky was one of the best books I’ve read this year so far. I couldn’t put this one down I did not want it to end.........But, then I find this with all Kate's books.

Highly recommend and don't forget your tissues.

Big thank you to Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for my ARC.

Heartbreaking and harrowing story but still incredibly beautiful. I did not read the excerpt before starting and let myself be surprised by how it unfolded.

Thank you so much to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for my ARC!

I truly had no idea where this book was going until I kept reading. I actually put it down for quite a while in chapter 2 or 3 because I wasn’t very into it, so anyone who has read it can imagine my shock when I continued reading and the entire book changed into something based on an event that I had no idea was coming.

It’s a good book about family, tragedy, and survival. I couldn’t stop reading/listening once I picked it back up.

The Last Stars in the Sky by Kate Hewitt is a book that grabs you at the beginning and keeps you reading until you finish! I read this book in one sitting as I couldn't put it down. I thought the book was going one way, but it took a turn that will have you thinking about your own life. This is an amazing read! Alex, Daniel, and their 2 daughters Mattie and Ruby are moving from their home in Connecticut to the grandparents lake cottage in Canada. Alex's father died awhile ago and her mom is in a home with Alzheimers. The cottage has been empty for a long time, but not for much longer. Daniel lost his job and eventually they lost their house. Mattie got suspended from her school because her boyfriend was doing drugs and selling them. Alex thought it was time to pack everyone up and go to a simpler way of life. The lake cottage was the perfect place to go to reset. The plan was to stay for about 6 weeks from mid November until after Christmas. Alex and Daniel were hoping it would be good for all of them. Sam, their son, is in college in upstate New York. He's going to fly in and join them for Thanksgiving.

Alex has so many good memories from summers spent at the cottage. It's a small cottage with only one bathroom, but it's got everything they need to reunite as a family again. Nobody knew that their time at the cabin would end up being a huge blessing when the world takes a turn. I'm not going to say too much more as I want you to go into the book like I did, totally unaware. You know the phrase you never know how strong you are until you have to be? That phrase sums up The Last Stars in the Sky perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and kept thinking what I would do in a similar situation. I rate The Last Stars in the Sky 5 stars with a high recommendation. I'd like to thank NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an advanced copy of The Last Stars in the Sky in exchange for a fair review. #TheLastStarsintheSky

2.5 stars

The Last Stars in the Sky by Kate Hewitt is a survival story of a family in crisis. Alex and her family have taken off to her family's lakeside cabin in hopes of reconnecting and spending some time together when a national attack happens and they must figure out how to survive as husband/father Daniel leaves the family to go find their son Sam at college and bring him back amidst this national emergency. I must say that it wasn't the book I was expecting when I requested it or picked it up. I went into this novel blind, taken in by the beautiful cover (I know, I know - don't judge a book, etc) and was surprised that after a slow and repetitive start, the big event happened and the book turned into something I wasn't expecting. I probably wouldn't have read it to begin with if I had realized where it was going. The beginning of the book was extremely slow, the middle was okay, and the end was pretty unbelieveable. This book does have a number of great reviews, so if you're into post apocolyptic stuff, you'll probably like this one too.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I do love a good book by Kate Hewitt and this one is a lovely story of family, of things lost and things found. This is a very compassionate and heart-warming story that will get to the core and keep you reading.

I love the setting of Lost Lake and the memories of the past as well as the fact that the move they made was the best move possibly for the events to come. Great characters, great story and I really enjoyed this book from start to finish.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was a very different book than I was expecting, but I very much enjoyed it. It's not a genre I usually read but I found it hooked me in when I wasn't expecting it! The characters are well written and the pace of the book is good. I‘d recommend it! Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for my copy of this book.

I'm not a big fan of end of the world books but this one is well written and full of hope and family love. When Danial has to move their family to Lost Lake, 20 miles from the nearest small town, they had no idea what would happen. When nuclear holocaust happens, he leaves his wife and daughter to find their son who is in college in upstate New York. As both parents struggle to survive, the world around them is crashing. Well written and full of love and forgiveness.

this book has great characters and Kate Hewitt has written this book with an excellent storyline.
I was completely absorbed and I would recommend this to others to buy and read it.

This book was absolutely amazing and I can’t write a review that will do it justice. The storyline is wonderfully unique (and is it really that far from reality?), but the characters themselves, and the emotions I felt because I was so drawn to them, made it even better somehow. I am a huge fan of Kate Hewitt and will choose her books without even reading the summary because I know that I will love it hands down. She has an immense talent for drawing out such strong emotions and connections to her characters, and her writing style is so comfortable and easy. I put myself in Alex’ and Daniel’s shoes many times and my heart ached right along with theirs. Though I did not agree with some choices that both of them made, overall I think that all parents would feel emotional when reading this one. Several times throughout the book I wondered what I would do and it made me really take a step back and ponder my own life and family and future. Gripping, emotional, life-changing.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I thought that the writing was exceptional, I felt engaged with the characters immediately, and it was easy to follow the story. Highly recommend!

A brilliant read, great characters brilliant storyline. A book I really enjoyed it gripped me from the very start and I found it hard to put down once I had started.

The blurb for this book is quite vague and I was really surprised when I realised what the plot was going to be. If I am honest, had I have had more information, I would probably not have read this, hence my negative thoughts. Really, this was a 2 star review for me but the exciting, albeit unbelievable, ending made this a 3 star read.
I did like the characters and I read this quickly as I wanted to find out what happened to them. The plot is fast paced too and I was never bored. As I have mentioned, I did find some of the events a bit ridiculous and made the book far fetched.
This was an okay read and one that is definitely not what I am used to.
Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an advance copy.

The Last Stars in the Sky by Kate Hewitt is a book of resilience, perseverance and motherly love. Told mostly from Alex's perspective, she's mum to three and wife to Daniel, who's let her down badly and now they need to escape to her family's house in Canada. Little do they know that this isolated house with its own water supply and generator is the only thing that will save them from what is to come. I couldn't put this book down, but equally didn't want to keep reading it! What a story! Heartbreakingly sad, inconceivably conceivable yet always hopeful. Can't wait for the next instalment.
With thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Kate Hewitt is great with character development. As the story progressed Kate progressed with it! This story was a little slow to start but then turned into a page turner! My only complaint is there were some unanswered questions in the end but I can’t wait to read the next book!

This story was very hard for me to get into. I decided not to finish it. It was very slow moving. I just could not get attached to any of the characters enough to want to see where they might end. Post apocalyptic stories are not a genre I enjoy. I don't think I read the synopsis close enough because I am such a Kate Hewitt fan.

A well written book
Quite thought provoking
It will have you hooked from the first to the last page
Thanks NetGalley
