‘Shattered Promises’ by Jessica Sorensen- review

Shattered Promises is by the New York Times and USA Today best selling young adult and new adult fiction author, Jessica Sorensen. It is the first of the Shattered Promises Series and it is a revamped and mature version of her young adult book The Fallen Star.

The new adult paranormal romance novel starts off with 21-year-old college student Gemma. Gemma has never had a normal life and has always felt like an outsider looking into the world. She has always had an inability to feel any emotion and knows very little of her past life. Reoccurring nightmares haunt her, and she tries to piece together the glimpse of her pasts from her wicked dreams. Gemma goes through life feeling completely numb is hit with an unfamiliar act, crying, at school. From that moment forward her life never goes back to normal.

Gemma starts to slowly feel emotions that she never felt before; happiness, love, lust, happiness, anger, and frustration. The unfamiliar emotions only intensify when she comes face to face with the charismatic, arrogant, and irresistible classmate Alex. Gemma is not only dealing with overwhelming sensation of feelings, but the sudden spark of electricity she feels when she is around Alex.

Despite Alex’s hot and cold attitude Gemma finds herself completely drawn to Alex. Gemma’s mind is telling her to keep a distance from Alex but her body and heart say otherwise. As Gemma and Alex get closer secrets from their past life is revealed. Alex turns out to know more about Gemma than he lets out from the first encounter. Once Gemma finds out the truth about her obscure past she is left feeling unable to trust anyone. Her life becomes endangered as she gets an understanding of her gift and purpose in life. The one person that can help her find peace is the one person who lied to her from the beginning, Alex.

Shattered Promises is an amazing paranormal story that combines the elements of the supernatural and romance. Sorensen never seizes to amaze me with her powerful writing and creative story line. There are a lot of twist and turns that will keep you at the edge of your seats as you go along for the adventurous journey. In true Sorensen fashion there a cliffhanger that will leave you yearning for more. You will find yourself not being able to put the book down and continue reading the Shattered Promises Series.
