It’s rare I finish a book thinking wow, can I re-read that right now, but twice now Amanda G. Stevens has produced that effect for me with her No Less Days series. This series is such a unique blend of speculative fiction and suspense saturated by God’s love story toward mankind throughout time set against a beautiful backdrop of Michigan beauty all woven together to create an irresistible story.

I can’t recommend highly enough; this series truly is special and not typical of any other in its genre, and I doubt you’ll regret picking it up.

Turns out this is a hard one for me to rate and review.

There is a small handful of people that are longevites- they are immortal. Because of a special serum given them when younger (in the 1800's) they have the opportunity to live forever. Not all of them are happy about this. When some of these individuals start to die, the rest take it upon themselves to find out what happened. This is a story of loss, love, and finding the way back to faith.

I felt like I was slogging through the first half of the book. I didn't connect to the characters, I had a bit of a hard time figuring out what was going on... it was rough. It probably wasn't until the very end of the book that I started to have the desire to find out what was going to happen with the characters. It wasn't too preachy, which I appreciate. At the same time, the bible and prayer references almost felt forced. But while it was clunky, it didn't bother me that they were there. The book discussion questions at the end were good, and I almost wanted to discuss this book with a group of people and get their take on it.

For the actual book- I would maybe give 2 stars. For the thoughts I had about what it would be like to know I would live forever... I'll round up to 3 stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for an ARC for my honest review.

From Sky to Sky is book Two in a series written by Amanda G. Stevens. I did not realize it was a part of a series at first and there were a few times where I felt like I was a few steps behind in the beginning. But a third of the way into the book, the plot takes off and it doesn't seem like I missed too much by not reading the first book.

Christian Sci-Fi is a new genre for me, and I am very surprised at how much I liked this book. One of the main characters, Zac Wilson is a well known celebrity for his adventurous stunts. He also seems like a genuine person but is baffled by his friend, David's faith in God. Zac seems conflicted between unbelief and longing for that same level of faith and commitment.

That conflict continues into the plot developing between Zac, David and the two new friends they have the ability to never age just like they do. The four of them are trying to research the past to figure out why they are so different and what is killing them...is it a person or something else?

I like the book so much more than I thought I would. Not only does it have a good plot, but it deals with big issues like our mortality, how we live our lives, faith, redemption, forgiveness, love and so much more. I love the character development, especially in Zac. The first person narrative is perfect for this book. Can not wait to go back and read the first one, then comes the wait for book number three!

I received an advanced digital copy of From Sky to Sky and wish to thank NetGalley, author Amanda G. Stevens and publisher Barbour Publishing, Inc.! As always, my opinions are my own.

When I first received this, it doesn’t describe the book as #2 in a series, so I was unaware I should read another book first. Since I didn’t read #1 first, I lost a decent chunk of the backstory, which was frustrating, and needed to be read for this series, to get the full effect because it felt like something was missing.

Having said that, the soury’s premise definitely reminds me of the Twilight series- a group of people who don’t age or die (except one way). Hopefully by describing the premise like Twilight I didn’t just scare you away, haha!

Other than the similarity between the character premises (this novel they are called Longevites...not vampies obviously!), there’s really nothing else like the Twilight series. This novel is Christian sci-fi, and there are so many twists and turns along the novel. It is told from Zac’s (the main character) perspective, as he struggles through finding meaning, connection and ultimately returning to the Lord. I was definitely intrigued and connected with the novel throughout. It is worth the read, just make sure you read the first book in the series, No Less Days, before you begin this one.

From Sky to Sky by Amanda G Stevens. This is the second book in the series that explores the life of an immortal in a Christian sci-fi/fantasy setting. Well written and engaging.

In this follow-up to No Less Days, Zac Wilson has stuck around in town with David Galloway, after connecting with the fellow longevite under terrible circumstances. While there, he is approached by more people like him, who claim that several more of their kind have been dying. Are they finally aging out, or is something darker happening?

In my review of No Less Days, I mentioned that it would have made a good series, and I was right! Having this book added to the first makes the story much richer, and watching these characters struggle with their odd balance of humanity and immortality becomes an epic battle rather than a skirmish snapshot. I questioned how one's faith in God might grow, or stagnate, over several lifespans that didn't result in a face-to-face meeting - that was delved into more thoroughly in this book, and it added so much to the story. There are still questions hanging out there, and I can only hope that there are more books to come to continue this unusual story of a family knit together by unique circumstances and not necessarily by choice. I'm so interested to see how they find their way back together, and if they can find peace with what seems to be their lot.

I give this book 4 stars. I almost didn't pick it up because its description is so odd for a Christian fiction novel, but I'm so glad that I did! It definitely gives the reader a lot to think about how they handle their small breath of years they get to spend here.

I received a digital copy of this book, via NetGalley, from the publisher, in exchange for my honest review.

I finished From Sky To Sky last night. I am sitting here trying to decide what to say about this book. It is definitely thought-provoking. I mean, what if you couldn't die? How would you live your life? How would you form relationships knowing that they would end and you would go on ...alone? I love From Sky To Sky as much as or even more than the first book, No Less Days. I really hope that there will be a third book as I want to know more. The characters are interesting and I love the relationships between them. I also love the theme of redemption and forgiveness.
So grab a pot of tea and a warm blanket. Cuddle up and enjoy a fascinating read by Amanda Stevens.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

A serial killer , Colm, a member of Zac’s family of immortals faces judgment, he is unrepentant, so he is decapitated and buried. Zac, David, Simon and Moira are left alone faced with living forever because of Doc’s serum, which was given to them to save their lives.
Zac, David, and Tiana live in the small town of Harbor Vale, David and Tiana run a bookstore in town, Zac is a stuntman on vacation.
Zac and David go to Colm’s apartment in Chicago to clean it up and they find 18 shot glasses from 18 different places where Colm’s victims had lived and an old box of silver and gold coin proofs.
Tiana calls David and Zac about a man with black hair and dark eyes who is looking for them who had once shot David. They find him, and he has a girl with him who is ill. The girl, Cady, acts like she is rejuvenating - her youth is coming back to her, but she has taken 3 days to do it. Finn was afraid she was dying of a mysterious disease that had killed 2 of their friends.

There is something about Amanda G. Stevens ability to capture my attention. Her stories don't usually have a lot of high octane suspense that I graviate toward, but she has the ability to capture my attention and beg me to keep flipping pages. Her stories have deep theological questions that majority of humanity wrestle with and allows the characters to deal with them in a realistic way. I really enjoyed the plot in From Sky to Sky. I couldn't wait to keep reading, so I finished the story in one day.I honestly stayed up way to late reading this story. It begged to be devoured. I really can't wait to see what Stevens does with the next installment. Overall, From Sky to Sky is a unique, well-written, and woven story filled with remarkale characters who have heart and are looking for the meaning to their long lives. I believe fans of James Rubart should pick up this series and enjoy them. I sure do.

I received a complimentary copy of From Sky to Sky by Amanda G. Stevens from Barbor Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

I didn't know that this was book two until I started reading it so I missed a large chunk of the backstory for the series arc. That being said I did enjoy the story, I just wish it had been labeled as book two of a series. I'm most certainly going to go back a read book one but all in all this was an enjoyable read.

Zac Wilson can't die. One of a rare group of "longevites," he's 159 years old but will forever look like he's 32. Zak is a daredevil with close to a million followers online. He fell from a tightrope and could only explain his survival as being "caught up by an angel," but in reality he's been running from God for a century. Now some of his fellow longevites are being killed. How is it possible, and who will be next? Is the killer being merciful to end their immortality? Have those who died chosen it, or was it murder?

I've waited for this book for a long time, and it did not disappoint. The second in the No Less Days series, From Sky to Sky gives readers the backstory on flippant, irreverent Zac Wilson. How is it that Zac can read people so well, and why does he have a crippling phobia to keep under wraps?


While this book had less action than the first in the series, it was still a compelling page turner, and I stayed up too late reading it without wanting to put it down. Zac's backstory was deeper and darker than I'd imagined. For someone who thinks he can never go home again, the discovery that there is light and deliverance available even after 100 years of running is all the more poignant. I did wish the ending wrapped a few more things up, but life isn't a neat package.


I hope to read more books on these same characters if the series is continued. Okay, Amanda G. Stevens and Barbour house? I want to read everything that this author pens.

A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Barbour Publishing through NetGalley. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

The first thing I would say is I feel it's a must to read book 1 in this series before this book.

I preordered book 1 as soon as I saw the synopsis and who wrote it. A story about a small group of people who can't die or age. Well, there's one way they can die, but I won't say anything else about that. As in No Less Days, this author's writing is outstanding. She gives the characters such depth. I felt I was along side them during the story.

This book is mostly Zac's story and told from his perspective. The book was excellent. Not just the story but Zac's return to the Lord. A relationship with our Savior is very important to this Author, so I appreciate her writing even more.

My negative with this book is the same as book 1. Too much dialogue and not enough action. It wasn't boring just every day conversation about their lives. Some of it was important to read. This may be my problem as all other Speculative Christian Fiction I have read has had a lot of action. After I ordered and read book 1, I said I wouldn't read book 2. I couldn't help myself. I had to find out what was happening. Will I order book 3? Absolutely. I highly recommend this book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley. Expressions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Not sure how to take this book since I missed out on the first one so therefore I didn't enjoy it as much and I'm guessing since Zac can't die he's a vampire or something along those lines.
There were some pretty good twists and turns in the book so I did enjoy that. I love to be kept guessing. It makes the story a tad more interesting.
I'm sorry I couldn't leave a better review.
I want to read the 1st book first.
My thanks to Netgalley. NO compensations were received and all opinions are my own.

This is a series where you definitely want to read book 1 first. Bonus:Book 1 is amazing so why wouldn’t you want to read it? First off, this series will get you to think. The mystery will keep you turning the pages and the characters will make you invested. Unlike any series I’ve read before.

Having not read the first book in this serious, I felt like I came in the middle of the story. It felt like something was missing for me, but I kept reading and it turned out to be a good read. There were a few twists and turns that kept the story lively and interesting. I think I would have enjoyed it more had I read the others book first. My thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for an advance copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This book was so good! It hooks you on the first page and keeps you reading to see what happens next. To really get the most out of this book I recommend you read No Less Days first. It has twist and turns and makes you stop and think. If you like Christian sci-fi, you don't want to miss this book! I enjoyed every minute spent reading this book. Thank you Barbour Publishing, Inc Shiloh Run Press via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

The second in a series, I can't imagine this one would work very well as a standalone since it picks right up where the first one left off. The main characters are now joined by others like themselves and are on the run from someone else whom they think is trying to kill them. There are a few twists and turns, but it's mostly the story of one character coming to terms with his faith. Not as good, in my opinion, as the first, but still a good read.
