A bed posed on a stage under a dazzling spotlight. An audience of hungry eyes. And him, the other half of my soul, our supple bodies moving as one....

Sundara: the lush and forbidden oasis in the desert where men travel to watch acts of sexual deviancy, and the only existence 17-year-old Karys has ever known. But despite a life where secrets and sin are in high supply, and freedom remains far beyond their reach, Karys and her partner, Zakai, find safety in each other, their passionate love the light that helps them both survive the darkness.

Very suddenly, Karys and Zakai find themselves in the bright and confusing world of New York City, navigating separation, school, and relatives who are all but strangers. If they've been found, why do they still feel so lost? As their new lives threaten to drive them apart, and Zakai spins out of her grasp, Karys must figure out who and what can be trusted in this strange city, seemingly filled with more venom than the desert they once called home.

Great story. 4.5 stars 🌟 🤩 I just thought the prelogue should've been omitted, the story skipped way too many years and the marriage proposal and reconciliation was too soon. But even with this, it was a GREAT story that gave me all the feels❤️

Perfect... almost

Hard to read in parts due to the topic. Mia does such a good job with her characters and identifying not just the relief of their rescue but also the tragic heartache they each went through to heal.

Great!!

Once We Were Starlight…this story is an amazing journey…it takes you through years of experiences for Karys and Zakai, two lovestruck kids taken prisoner and survived for each other. They deal with painful memories and separation from each other when they are rescued and placed into a world that they do not have any experience with. It is an amazing tale, written in a style that is only Mia Sheridan’s…one that keeps you reading and engaged. I have always enjoyed reading Mia’s books and was so glad to find one that I had missed along the way. Also, the audiobook for this story was so well done and added to the written words on the page…and that is not always the case. “Once we were starlight. But now, now we were a universe.” 5-stars is probably not enough.

All of the stars to this book!
I can't even start to explain my feelings while listening to this great story!

It's hard, raw, emotional, sensible, cruel and painfully beautiful!

It's so different of anything that I'd read before, and truthfully, i still don't know how to review it without spoilers.

This couple are soulmates!
They're the other half of each other through and through!
Their story starts when he was 9 and she was 6, and it was in a way that could have been way worst than what they had, while growing up in a sex traffic ring!

The book tells their story along the years as captive, and what happens to them when they're finally rescued and thrown in the real world, and it's so painful to see their struggles, but also fulfilling to watch their growth.

Their journey was as much as for each other, but also and mostly, for themselves! I loved everything!

It's another incredible book by Mia Sheridan, and she's easily becoming a favorite!

🎧 About the Audiobook Narration 🎧

Narrated by Trina Nishimura and Connor Crais.
It was a perfect narration and she was able to do a younger voice on the past chapters, and a mature one on the present. It was great!
Connor had only one chapter and I wish I could have had more of him!

A top listen/read this year!

This is my second Mia Sheridan book. It was very different than what I was expecting. It was a beautiful story with more complexity than I thought it could have. I was deeply riveted by Karys & Zakai's story. Thank you for taking us on this journey with them, Mia. Trina Nishimura was a new to me narrator. Both Trina & Connor Crais were terrific

Another moving story form Mia Sheridan
