SHATTERED PROMISES by Jessica Sorensen

Title: Shattered Promises
Author: Jessica Sorensen
Find it at: Amazon
Date published: 2013
Genre: New Adult

My review: I gave this a go as it was free on Amazon. Apparently the author turned her YA Fallen Star series into a New Adult series for a bit of fun. So she added some sex scenes. My problem with this book was the lead up to the sex scenes seemed a tad repetitive. They always seem to start with him having to restrain her so she'll listen to what her has to say, and by restrain I mean he covers her body with his from feet to chest. The first sex scene was nothing special and it wasn't until a tad further in the book that she refers to the orgasm and I'm thinking "What?? When?? Who??"... I flipped back realising she had experienced some clothes on "explosions" lol. There are a few confusing parts where you're not quite sure if Gemma is dreaming or awake. It seems like it would be a good paranormal storyline however I was left confused and picking out typo's.

That being said, I have read other reviews saying that the YA Fallen Star series this book was taken off is quite good and all the questions in the first book are answered throughout the series and the follow-on 'Lost Souls' series. As I am intrigued by the storyline, I may switch to the YA series after i've finished all the books I have piled up around me.

My rating: 2.5/5
