Surviving Amber Springs Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 5,347 ratings

An emotional, angsty, suspenseful second-chance romance from the USA Today best-selling author of Inseparable and When Forever Changes.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone....
I’m the second-most hated person in Amber Springs.

First place honors go to my twin, Ethan; however, hate isn’t a strong enough word to convey how people feel about him.

Not that I blame anyone—some days, I hate him too. Mostly, I’m just lost and afraid, drowning in a sea of betrayal and guilt, wondering how this happened right under my nose.

There’s no choice but to leave. To move clear across the country in a last-ditch attempt to start over.

Transferring to a new school midway through senior year is hellish for most people. For me, it’s a welcome relief—until someone discovers our secret and now everyone knows.

The pointing, whispering, and scathing looks follow me around again, and I’m back to square one. Except, this time, I’m not alone.

Axel, Skeet, and Heath took me under their wing from the minute I arrived here. I’ve no idea why three of the hottest guys in town took any interest in me or why they continue to have my back, but I’m so grateful to have them in my corner.

Because, right now, they’re the only reason I’m not following my brother into an early grave.


This is an upper YA/NA stand-alone #whychoose contemporary romance. Due to sensitive content and possible triggers, this book is recommended to listeners aged 18 and older. This is a full-length novel.

This is the must read of 2019!!!!
5 out of 5 stars
This is the must read of 2019!!!!
There are book in my life that I have read that stay with me for days and even years. I think this book will be one of those books. I have read books by Davis before, but nothing has been as controversial or haunting as this book. Davis addresses at the end of her book that although not American, our issues, especially gun violence haunts her as it does millions of others. She tackles something I have never seen before in a book-the family of the shooter and the fallout that happens. Often times, when I see a school shooting, I faintly think of the family of the shooter but it eventually turns to the victims. Davis gets right in the reader's face refusing to back down. Not only is the shooter out for revenge but he has a twin who gets left behind and tortured.There were some things I saw coming a mile away and then others that slapped me sideways. This book should be read by every American and open up some big discussions on bullying, harassment, and mob mentality. What I loved most about this book though was the pace. Some authors rush into the poly relationships and others take 6 novels to break in the idea, but somehow Davis was just right. Her writing in flawless full of heat, passion, angst, emotion, and so much more. I went though a whole box of tissues and ugly cried right along with B and her men.There are so many layers to this book, and now I can't bring myself not to go grab another one off her shelf. This is the must read of 2019!!!!

    I don’t often give 5 stars even for the books I really enjoy. This one touched me in a way that was somehow both personal and unimaginable. Warning that it is intense with many possible triggers, but they were truly written with care and sensitivity by the author in a way I have never read before. My minds a mess and I just finished this and have so many emotions leaking from my eyes. I don’t want to give any of the story away but I will say this.
    The MFC is strong, stronger than anyone gives her credit for and it’s not an in your face strength, it’s subtle and building and interwoven throughout the entire storyline. That’s not to say she doesn’t have moments and trials because she has tons, and she makes choices I don’t know I would or could but I never got angry or felt disbelief about it. The story touches many triggering or touchy subjects that I can’t mention without blowing a big storyline but I will say again, that it’s the best written mention of it in a story I’ve read and I didn’t feel that it took an extreme prejudice in any direction. The guys are well written, unique and distinguishable and the characters are all relatable. I’d have loved more depth and background on the guys themselves but it didn’t take away from the story or connection I was able to make. I wish there was more than just one book. I can’t find it in me to formulate more words as I finish processing this book but I look forward to reading it again when I’ve processed it fully. I’ll miss B and the guys. Wish I could have met E…

    I loved this book from the start! I was intrigued from the very beginning and needed to know all the trauma that was going on! Blaire was a great main character and I'm glad she was strong and resilient! I loved the plot and as it got deeper I was blown away, shocked and nervous about all that was going on! The guys are soooooo HOT AND CUTE! But one really annoys me and that's usually not the case in RH. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 five due to a certain someone and his part in the plot! But overall great read!!

    (The good parts with the 3 amazing men of course)

    I'm in love with the book, in love with the men and in love with Blairs strength.

    It's a must-read.

    But be warned, you'll love the book and when it's over in just 2 days.

    Spicy bits are rare and rated at about a 3 out of 5. Felt like i needed more from her relationship with 2 or the men (won't give it away) but still a good read.

    Let's not forget the story itself. Covering a lot of grief, pain, loss, and abuse. It's a good read. I feel like it could have gone deeper but this is light enough that it doesn't require too many trigger warnings.

    So sad the story has ended though - wonder what life ahead looks like for them?

    The cover grabbed my attention then blurb pulled me in with an absolute need to read, but neither prepared me for the extraordinary and heart-wrenching journey I was about to take. Surviving Amber Springs was one of the very best books I’ve read in all my life that I couldn’t put down and read within a few hours! It has it all - family, friends, enemies, love, drama, and I won’t spoil it for you by listing others and leave you with SO MUCH MORE!!😉

    Blaire, Skeet, Heath, and Ax take us on a whirlwind of emotions full of pasts that would destroy some of the strongest people, heartbreak that rendered me speechless, and a love so beautiful that I had tears in my eyes during some of the heartfelt moments throughout this story. I have never felt so many different emotions while reading a book as I felt while reading this one. I laughed, I got angry, and I cried various types of cries, even ugly sobbed a little.

    The realistic feel of this story hit me soul deep. The author done an outstanding job with writing this one and I am definitely a new diehard fan and will be reading more. The way she wrote about not only so many beautiful subjects we all love, but how she wrote about so many hard ones too and captured realistic reactions, emotions, and outcomes of them was an exceptional show of her true talent as a writer.

    I want to personally thank this author for writing about the subjects she did. This story hit me hard and will carry a special place in my heart forever and will definitely be one I share with every reader I know. Thank you!🥰

    You have got to read this! What an amazingly truly talented author! This doesn't go down the usual reverse harem romance route, so if you're reading it for lots of heat, you will be disappointed! The storyline is absolutely amazing, tragic, but beautifully written & well thought out! I won't lie, I cried. I will remember this book for a long time as it has been very thought-provoking & really makes you rethink life in a positive way.

    Die Geschichte an sich ist nett, aber nicht sonderlich tief. Alles dezent oberflächlich, nicht tiefer greifend. Die 🔞 Szenen waren dann auch sehr lau.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Total waste of time
    Reviewed in India on July 5, 2023
    Like I said, total waste of time.

    The cover itself says reverse harem, so you sort of expect all the explicit scenes, but they have no emotion whatsoever. Siobhan's other reverse harem books had some sort of character build up and intense chemistry and back story. Here, the male leads are written so pathetically, you don't feel for them-not their hotness or their angst. And the female lead comes across as needy and greedy.

    The back story was not flashed out properly. The past was not treated with respect and the so called 'twin love' is not given its due. There was so much emotion you can churn out from the backstory. Rather than that, the focus was mainly on the lead's sexual escapades, but even they feel forced.

    Didn't like it one bit. 1 star for the lack of zero stars.
