Fractured Light Blog Tour

I’m dying, I thought. This was unexpected and not at all how I envisioned my death. I was supposed to die gardening in a flowerbed as a hundred-year-old woman, not as a seventeen-year-old trapped in a lake beneath inches of ice.
Llona Reese is used to living on the run. After the Vykens killed her parents, she knew they would eventually come for her too. She can’t take any chances. But when she starts to make friends for the first time in her life, she gets careless and lets her guard down. Big mistake.
As an Aura, Llona has the ability to manipulate light and harness its energy. This is the power the Vykens are after. This what the Guardians are trained to protect. Christian has been waiting his whole life for the opportunity to fulfill his destiny as a Gardian, but Llona has other plans for him. Going against everything she’s been taught and defying the Auran Council, Llona convinces Christian to teach her how to use her power as a weapon. It may be her only hope of survival.

My Thoughts:

Fractured Light tells a unique story about a young girl that is different than the rest of the world. Frustrated by living in a bubble Llona decides to step out of her comfort zone and try to live a normal teenage life. She makes friends, goes to social events and even develops a crush for the first time in her life.

All why trying to learn about her Aura powers and hide from the Vykens.

I enjoyed Fractured Light. The story is steady and consistent. It seemed a little slow at first but developed strong characters and plot that left me feeling invested in each one of them. I LOVED - LOVED- LOVED that this was a clean read AND a good story.

I would recommend Fractured Light for ages 13 and up. Most young women will be able to relate to Llona's journey in self discovery, confidence and self empowerment. Fractured Light is one book I will keep and read with my daughter as well as recommend to friends and family.
