I really did not know what to expect before starting
this one, but the synopsis and the cover just called out to me and I knew that
this was one book that I had to read. I am so glad that I answered that call, because Shattered Memories was an amazing read! From
the very first page I was hooked with the unique story line and the captivating
characters. Alana is one of those
characters and I couldn't help but pull for her as she tried to regain her
memories from that awful night her parents and sister were brutally
murdered. She always stayed true to her
belief that there was no way she could have done such a horrible thing even
knowing that if she ever found out the truth, she was destined to die
regardless. Daniel is another character
that I just fell in love with. Doing
everything in his power to prove that the girl he so desperately loved was innocent
and in the process risking his life. The
other supporting characters really rounded out this amazing story and made it a
fun and enjoyable read.
This whole story was simply fantastic and well
extremely well-written. I loved that the
author gives the reader a brief history lesson on how this dismal world and way
of life came to be which really gave me a better understanding of the events in
the story. With every page, I literally was holding my
breath at times needing Alana to remember the past year of her life - not only
to prove her innocence, but remembering the love that her and Daniel had for
one another. The ending left me
breathless and I really did not expect the outcome - not one bit. Matter of fact, it left me in tears and
angry, but also left me full of hope and happiness. I know, confusing, right? But in all seriousness, Ms. Harris really
drew me into this story with the unique plot and her effortless writing - I loved every second
of it!
Overall, Shattered
Memories is an utterly captivating and engrossing read that was unique and
exciting. It's a definite must read for
fans of dystopian fiction who are craving something uniquely fresh and
thrilling.
