Review – Shattered

July 17, 2013 By The Suspense Zone

I read Submerged (book one in the Alaskan Courage series) last year and loved it, so I knew going in that Shattered was sure to be a treat… and it was fantastic! The mystery was very good and I seriously had no idea who the killer was or the reason for what was going on. I was surprised when everything was revealed, as it was such a great plot and I did not see it coming! Love when that happens. šŸ™‚

After being introduced to Landon and Piper in book one, I could hardly wait to read their story and it was well worth the wait. All of the main characters were great, but Landon would have to be my favorite – probably because his feelings were just so real and I couldn’t help cheering for him.

I found it particularly interesting to learn more about Gage and Reef – Piper’s brothers. Kayden also intrigues me and I wonder what her story is… can’t wait to read their books and find out! I loved the way the characters interacted with each other (especially the McKennas and Landon) – there were quite a few scenes I found very funny… I couldn’t help but chuckle.

The romance in Shattered was soooooo sweet – it was great to see the characters grow closer and closer to each other. I also really liked the subplot romance story and that Cole and Bailey (the main characters from Submerged) were in Shattered a lot.

All in all, I loved Shattered! If you enjoy romantic suspense novels with some inspirational elements, then I think you will really like this book. I recommend reading Submerged first so you’ll know the backstory.
