Blog Tour: Shattered Promises by Jessica Sorensen Review & GIVEAWAYS
For twenty-one year-old Gemma, life has never been normal. She knows nothing about her past and has been haunted by the same monsters in her nightmares for the last three years. Unemotional and numb to life, she feels disconnected from everyone. Until the very first day she cries. After that, nothing in her life is the same.
Her emotions slowly surface and she starts experiencing love, happiness, and anger, feelings she never knew existed. But they leave her confused and she doesn't know whether to embrace them or run away from them.
Her life only gets more complicated when she meets Alex. Sexy, arrogant, and secretive, Alex can get under Gemma’s skin like no one can. Yet she’s drawn to him by an invisible connection she has no control over. She’s also seen him before. In her nightmares.
Every part of Gemma’s mind is screaming at her to stay away from Alex, but every other part of her is begging to get close to him. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes Alex knows more about her than he originally let on.
As secrets about her past unravel, Gemma’s life becomes threatened. She needs to figure out what’s going on, before she winds up dead. But the only person she can turn to for answers is the one person she isn't sure she can trust.
5 minutes... I just need 5 damn minutes to contain myself... 5,4,3,2,1.... I FREAKING LOVE THIS!
This book is so much more than your typical fantasy story. First chapter and I was like...
I have always been a fan of Jessica Sorensen's writing in general. But I must admit that I have not read the Fallen Series so I really don't know what to expect from this book. But now one thing's for sure, I am super thrilled to read the next one.
The book is a mix of suspense, romance, heartaches and a lot of steamy scenes. Mmmmm... just the perfect ingredients to match one of our favorite subjects...FORBIDDEN LOVE. I loved how Jessica represented Gemma in the story. A girl who has always been detached from the real world, no friends, no feelings. no emotions. Until the moment she felt tears in her eyes, everything became normal...until she met the man who apparently have answers to everything in her past.
Alex is the key to her mystery. Trying so hard to resist their growing closeness, Alex knew what he felt for Gemma right from the very start. The strong force that pulls them close together is something that he just couldn't escape.
“I just can’t – I don’t have any control over anything when I’m with you and, honestly, I’m sick of fighting it.”
“I just can’t – I don’t have any control over anything when I’m with you and, honestly, I’m sick of fighting it.”
Jessica Sorensen has an outstanding ability to create stories that can make the readers transition their emotions from a feeling of love to hatred to falling back again. Her ability to make me respond emotionally to the protagonist vests me in the story, and keeps me turning pages. The love I felt between the characters and the scenes, well the SMOKY, HOT SCENES that created a stir in my belly are absolutely AMAZING!
"His green eyes are on me as he whispers that he loves me and I reply that I love him."
"Love. I wish it were real."
This is absolutely a book that I will recommend especially to those paranormal suckers out there who craves for a lot of twists and turns. Although there were some questions that left me hanging, but that definitely kept me wanting for more. Now I can't wait for the next book to come. I'm pretty sure there will be a lot more STEAMY scenes waiting and the exciting struggle of Alex and Gemma's fight for their love.
4 Stars for me!
