So
if you scroll back you will see I had the wonderful chance to interview the
author of Shattered Secrets, Krystal
Wade on the release day March 3rd.
I’ve been excited for it to come out and couldn’t wait to read it. I even put off starting the next book in a
series I started reading (Allie’s War, review of the first book to come). I read the book the same week, however, it
has taken me a bit to post my review. I
am sorry for the delay, originally I got bit by my muse for my own WIP and you
never turn town inspiration. You must
obey when it says write. Then as I got
that bit out I stated to have been having some…technical difficulties that are
finally being resolved and I rewrote my review I can post. I also just backed up all of my work just to
be safe.
Long
story short when not at work I read until my eyes couldn’t stay open any longer
and then dreamed about the two stories in combination. That was very….lets just call it
interesting. Then I woke up and read
until I finished. Now…I have to wait to
know what happens next but I can share my thoughts and spread the word on this
book.
There
is A LOT going on in this book. Boy
troubles should be Abigails’ biggest concern, that is until she’s kidnapped and
learns her normal life is anything by normal.
She’s different. Which explains
some of her boy troubles but also opens up a whole new can of worms. A crash course in who/what you are and instructions
to read a huge and conflicting book with secrets handing over your head and
people trying to capture you? Just a
normal day. What do you do? Who do you trust?
There
is a lot to learn in the world of Kalós, influencers of human emotions. She wants to stick to the only person she
feels she can trust…but there always seems to be secrets clouding her wherever
she goes. It makes figuring out this new
mess so much more difficult. Everyone
seems to have a motive or agenda.
Abigail
is a pretty strong girl who is pushed into an impossible situation. She is confused and she has no clue what to
do and stumbles along trying to make the best decisions she can. She feels real; just an awkward girl trying
to make sense of life. Derick is the
same. A guy who likes a girl, it’s the
only thing that makes sense anymore. But
can they work things out? Are they meant
to be together? There are so many other
great characters as well that have their own complexities and I look forward to
learning more about them.
One
of the things that struck me about this book, that I can’t talk about too much
without giving things away is the battle within. Every person goes through things each day,
each to a different degree, that shape us into who we are. So when you are forced to make a decision,
how do you choose the right answer? Can
something that seems right, but goes against who you are as an individual make
it wrong? When faced with two truths,
would you go with your gut even if it meant something bad might happen or would
you go against your nature for the greater good?
Anyways
I really enjoyed Shattered Secrets
and hope you will as well. This book is
out and ready to be bought or downloaded now.
