Crimson Sky: A Dark Sky Novel Kindle Edition
They’re always watching. They’re always waiting.
They’re always starving...
Ten years ago, the sky shattered and the Hellions emerged. No one was able to keep them from destroying the city of Westraven. Now that the bloodthirsty monsters rule the skies and have forced the few remaining humans underground, Claire Abernathy lives in a nightmare. She survives by using her skills as an engineer for a ruthless tyrant connected to her mother and father’s past failure.
Then Claire’s world is torn apart when her sister Abby is kidnapped by the Hellions, and Claire herself is taken by dangerous sky pirates known as marauders. But Claire will not be intimidated by them while her sister’s life hangs by a thread, and so she strikes a deal with them: If they help rescue Abby, she will fix their ship and give them the chance to take the revenge they desperately seek.
As Claire fights for her sister’s life, she begins to realize that the Hellions are not the only dangers she’ll face. Burdensome secrets and devastating betrayals threaten her at every turn, and if she loses herself to them, it won’t just be her life that is destroyed...

Review
"If you think you might like an action-packed, fast-paced, swashbuckling adventure that is light on graphic violence and profanity, and has a dash of steampunk and a sprinkling of romance, I know a book series you might enjoy." Michael J. Sullivan, bestselling author of the Riyria Chronicles and The Legends of the First Empire Series
"Braun combined Vampires and Pirates, in a dystopian world, to create their war for freedom, in a uniquely riveting way. I read all genres, and have reviewed hundreds of books; this is unlike any I've ever read. " Boundless Book Reviews
"If you liked the Hunger Games or the Wayward Pines Series read Crimson Sky. It just like these only with more steam punk!" Jodie "Bookish" Cook
"When you start this book, be sure you have time to finish. It is fast paced and sometimes I couldn't read fast enough to find out what happened next. " One Book Two

- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016Loved this book! Amy Braun does an amazing job of keeping the tension wound tight throughout the story. Her use of first person narrative works incredibly well. It put me in the main character's (Claire) head.
The two main characters were complex. The supporting characters were easy to visualize and relate to--or to just out and out dislike.
There's a nice slow little love story that flirts with taking off in the story. But the two MC's, Claire and Sawyer, are bother broken people, wonderfully flawed, and each as a secret or two to keep the reader guessing. So they take their sweet time moving past those challenges to a place where they are both ready.
The technology was suitably creepy for a steampunk story. The world was dark and dismal. The Hellions were straight from hell. I think. Truly scary bad guys.
Good ending. I'd read more of this author's work.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2016I picked up this book after reading Michael Sullivan's (Riyria Revelations series author) review. I found his review to be mostly spot on. I will not give the plot away, but the story is a blend of sci-fi, horror/mystery with a steam punk flair and seems to set up what should be an interesting series. If you like that type of world-building and storytelling, you will enjoy this book.
The authors sets you in a post armageddon world, populated by pirates, airships and vampire/aliens. The writing is crisp and descriptive, designed to pace the book making it a fast read. I noted a few editing errors, but nothing that took away from the book. The story is focused on the heroine's point of view, and she and the main male character are well developed. However not as much attention is spent on the surrounding cast who at times default to a stock type.
The main lure in the story is the mystery surrounding how the world came to be and the respective lineage of the two main characters. There is a bit of a "Divergent" vibe in that the heroine has a secret/ability that seems to make her alone able to save this post Armageddon world, but the world building mutes it. Seeds planted in this story suggest that the steam punk/horror portions of the book could play a bigger role in future stories in the series which would be a plus.
Overall it was a fast, fun read and for me an introduction to a new author and enjoyable series. And for the relatively inexpensive price for the kindle edition, it is well worth trying out.

Claire is the key, but how in the hell will this teenager rid the world of the blood sucking killers known as the Hellions?
Author Amy Braun invites young adult readers into a world that has been invaded by monsters, leaving the humans to become prey and fuel. No longer listed as being at the top of the food chain, humans take to the underground tunnels in hopes of simply surviving. With the predators waiting above ground, Claire, Braun’s main character, finds herself seeking refuge under the thumb of lunatic, Garnet. He is the epitome of an egotistic, selfish, emotionless prick that will cause reader’s lips to curl.
Like so many, Claire decides it is better to deal with the human monster rather than attempt to relocate and faceoff with the Hellions. The only issue…the way fate is setup, eventually she will have to deal with them both.
Readers will enjoy the ease of the story as it plays out on paper as well as in their minds. Braun knows exactly how much enough is, and answers some questions while leaving countless others floating in the air. One thing is for certain this author keeps reader’s hearts thumping with explosive scenes and heart wrenching endings. Everyone has secrets, and as the truth shines its light on the darkness, readers will be surprised by the unexpected. But this is what really makes Braun the next must read author, she is not afraid to kill off anyone. No one is safe, not even Braun’s main characters, or are they?
Crimson Sky is fantastic, and offers such an amazing start to what appears to be a great series. Cannot wait for book 2.
I give “Crimson Sky” 5 out of 5 stars.
Happy Reading
