Book Review: Shattered

 

You know that saying, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is”? I wish I could say that quote is totally full of it. My life was good. I had a wonderful family, a loving mother and father. And then that life was ripped from me.

With my father gone, my mother remarried. Then I was accepted into an Architecture Program at Groveton College. And we started a new life. Everything was going well again. Until it wasn’t.

My new stepbrother Xayden and his best friends, Dekker and Seven, are hotter than the sun. But they are also complete pains in the you know where. From the moment we met, they’ve hated me. Oh, and they even have their little sorority pets to help in making my life a ton of fun. And by fun, I mean completely and utterly miserable.

And just when I think it can’t get any worse, I end up being the target of a mysterious someone who is hell-bent on torturing me.

Life isn’t good. Nothing about this existence is good. I wish someone would have told twelve-year-old me not to get too comfortable with what she had. That life will never ever be great again.

And that it’s only a matter of time before my world is completely shattered.


My Review

Get ready to enroll at Groveton College with Lynn Rhys. She is bringing the HEAT! With not 1, not 2, but 3 HOT men. I literally binged this book. A fast read. 

Rory is my girl! She is fierce. The zingers she was slinging at the "mean girls", Monica and her posse was great. Even when she was kicked down, she came back swinging. A fighter for sure. 

Let's talk about the guys...Xayden, Dekker and Seven. They may have started out as bullies but by the end, they did redeem themselves. The things they said and did to Rory may have been mean but I could not help but fall for them anyways. This was even before they turned nice. 

You know the saying..."Double the Trouble", well in this case it is "Triple the Pleasure"!
