Shattered Souls

Shattered Souls - The intriguing title. The gorgeous cover. The blurb by Andrea Cremer. Each of these factors screams “must read!” I will admit, while I sped through Shattered Souls in less than seventy-two hours, I wasn’t sold on the romance. Love story aside, I found Shattered Souls to be a unique, engrossing and intriguing read.The first thing we learn about Lenzi is that she is anything but normal. I liked Lenzi, and Zak immediately give me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I got into the story much more quickly once Alden was introduced. Lenzi’s abilities as the Speaker made it so that there several ministories within the novel, each one very nicely detailed. Her interactions with the lost souls were really fascinating, and made her compassion clear.For the record, I was also a big fan of Alden. He never seemed to submissive or chivalrous. Yet as the romance developed, there was a lot of “We can never be together!” and “Let’s make out right now!” type of dialogue. I grew tired of all of the back and forth after a while. Seriously, kids--make up your minds. I also periodically lot track of a few of the minor characters. I would have liked to see a tiny bit more development there.Aside from my few complaints, I really enjoyed Shattered Souls and found it to be a memorable novel. It is the perfect mixture of page turning and emotional. I’d definitely recommend Shattered Souls one for anyone looking for a somewhat deeper paranormal novel, and should Lindsey publish any other novels, I’ll be very excited to pick them up.
