Fractured Light

review 1: As a librarian I read a lot of books so I can recommend them to patrons. If a book starts off slow I generally will put it down and pick up something else to read. I have so many books to get through and so little time. This book I enjoyed right from the start. The characters were well developed and believable. Yes Llona is a little whiny, yet she is a teenager and has been through a lot in her short life, and come on aren't most teenagers that way? So if you like Paranormal fiction this one is pretty good.
review 2: Title: Fractured Light (Fractured Light #1)Author: Rachel McClellanGenre: Paranormal/Fantasy RomanceRating: 5 out of 5 starsBook Description:I’m dying, I thought. This was unexpected and not at all how I envisioned my death. I was supposed to die... more 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 can manipulate light and harness its energy. But if she wants to survive, Llona will have to defy the Auran Council and learn to use her power as a weapon against the Vyken whose sole desire is to take her light. Now she’s caught in something even bigger than she can understand, with a power she can’t wield, and no one she can trust, except, just maybe, a mysterious stranger.In this breathtaking and romantic adventure, Rachel McClellan delivers a truly mesmerizing story that will keep you guessing to the very end.Review:Rosette: All Llona wants to do is to remain unnoticed during her last year in high school. She has no real friends, she doesn’t go out, and never participates in any extracurricular activities. She’s satisfied being the quiet one. Llona believes that by being inconspicuous no one will know her secret. The power of the Light that lives within her is growing, but she continually fights to hide it. Orphaned as a child, she lives with her Uncle, who is more like the big brother she never had. The premature deaths of her parents’ affects her greatly and Llona refuses to suffer their fate. If no one knows about her secret, no one will try to harm her, or at least that is what she believes. So Llona lives life under the radar.But she can no longer ignore the signs of danger that has finally followed her. Someone knows what she is and even the power of the Light won’t be enough to keep her safe. With the help of her Uncle and several unusual and interesting friends that she has grown to trust, she just may survive. Changes start to occur in her life and Llona is no longer satisfied living in a solitary existence. Her new friend Christian quickly develops an interest in her and she wants to reciprocate these feelings. But the new and strikingly handsome student is a mystery, and Llona is not sure what to make of him.It was a pleasure to review this book. The characters were both convincing and very likeable and I believe young readers will be delighted at the interesting twists and turns that this novel has to offer. The concept of the Light was quite intriguing and I was quite happy to see Llona’s character develop throughout the story. She grew from being a fearful young woman, barely existing what was to be the best years of her life, into the tenacious and confident individual that was not afraid to take the offensive in difficult situations. Christian, her love interest, is a capable young man who can be quite overbearing at times. He quickly becomes a protective confidant. How he fits into Llona’s world is quite confusing to her at first, but as she matures, she is able to reconcile his place in her life. She has a circle of fascinating friends who Llona later discovers to have surprising lives of their own. Each character introduced to us has their own unique stamp, their individuality adding to the already strong and vibrant storyline.This is a brilliant first book to what will surely be an exciting new series and I am very much looking forward to the next one.Tiffany: Rosette does a great job of telling you how wonderfully captivating Fractured Light is. This story will keep you on your toes! You won’t want to put down! Someone is after Llona and she fights to stay alive, but one thing (or one person) keeping her motivated is her new admirer, Christian. There are great plot twists & surprises that are very smart and make the book even better. For someone who is a fan of paranormal, or who wants to begin to read the genre, this is a great choice to pick! Llona herself isn’t aware of what she is truly capable of and thanks to new friends and family, she is learning more about herself and her past. I’m a big fan of all the characters and their uniqueness. Even though it’s a fantasy story, their personalities are very real. Truly great read and can’t read the rest more from this series and author! less
