BLOG TOUR: Shattered Promises by Jessica Sorensen

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 few months. 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.

Mystery, magic and energy is what you will get from Shattered Promises by Jessica Sorenson. The story begins in Wyoming where Gemma has grown up in a isolated home with her grandparents. Not knowing the truths about her Mother and the facts that surround her life and death, her grandparents don't' give her much to go on.

Then one day in college her life changes and turns upside down when she meets a brother sister pair, Aislin and Alex. Gemma is instantly and electrically attracted to Alex but he seems cold at best to her. What is he hiding from her? As the time goes by, will he open up and befriend her.

There are many secrets to be found in this magical book. For those who are into magic and intrigue this is a great book. There is great character development and you really get to feel for the people and their lives. I give this book 4 stars for its well written words. I am excited to see what the next book has for us ~ Debi S.
