Synopsis:
Deadly
Witchcraft. Ghostly Threats. Doomed Romance.
They
say every town has its secrets, but that doesn’t even begin to
describe Fallen Oaks. The townsfolk are a superstitious lot and the
mystical disappearance of a local teen has everyone murmuring about a
centuries old witch’s curse.
When
sixteen-year-old Shiloh Trudell takes a summer job at Craven Manor,
she discovers a ghost with an agenda. That’s where she meets the
new town hottie, Trent Donovan, and immediately becomes enchanted by
his charms.
Finally,
Shiloh’s met someone who is supercute and totally into her, but
Trent is immersed in the cunning deception that surrounds the
mysterious Craven Manor. So much so that he may lose sight of what is
truly important to him. And she can’t decide whether she wants to
shake him or kiss him. Yet neither one of them can deny the
immediate, passionate connection growing between them.
With
cryptic messages from a pesky wraith, Shiloh will finally begin to
understand the mysterious significance of the strange mark branded on
her wrist and decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to protect
the other teenagers in town.
Unfortunately,
for Shiloh, not all ghosts want help crossing over. Some want
vengeance.
My
Thoughts:
Wow,
what an amazing book! I was a little hesitant when I first started
reading, afraid it would be like every other average paranormal
haunting book out there. But Sherry Soule pulled together some of my
absolute favorite elements of a good paranormal story, plus added a
few twists and some romance to amp it up.
The
story line to Beautifully Broken starts out quick with a punch of
adrenaline; than slows down only long enough to fill you in on the
important details. Then it is a rollercoaster ride from there,
between a bone-chilling haunted mansion, an old town with a deadly
secret, and don’t forget the searing play between our gutsy
protagonist and sexy bad boy Trent. Thanks to Sherry including two
steamy chapters from Trent’s POV, you know his feelings for Shiloh
are real.
Trent
and Shiloh were definitely my favorite characters, even if sometimes
he was a bit of a jerk. He was broken in his own way, cut him some
slack.
I
am not a great fan of cliffhanger endings, but Sherry Soule nailed
this one. I was reading along and all of a sudden-bang, it’s done.
My adrenaline was pumping and I was hanging on every word, when
suddenly there were no more. I can’t wait for Shattered Silence,
but in the meantime, I definitely recommend Beautifully Broken to
readers of paranormal, mystery, and romance.
