Enjoy For Free Shatter (Sins Of The Sidhe, #1) Authored By Briana Michaels Presented In Multimedia Book

writing style is not for ME, I've got a headache just trying to make it through the first, afterhours I'm tapping out, Wow hooked! I gave it achapter chance and couldn't get past the mixing of tenses, poorly structured sentences, and the cadence of the narration.
If I would give the author advice it would be twofold:slow down and show the story because it sounds like it could be a good one andwork with an editor that is willing to help with the sentence structure.
DNFjust wasn't flowing for me, Fantastic

I couldn't wait to find out how it would end, yet, I didn't want it to be over because my little makebelieve world would be over.
Rowan

Oh, I am completely hooked on this author! I finished the last series and quickly looked up more from her and wow, I'm not mad about it lol Brilliant and compelling and oh so easy to get lost in her worlds.
Great first to a series

Im not sure how something can be light, dark, sweet, and scary all at once, but this does it.
The main character is sunshine and tsunami all at once and the plot is layered well, Greedy, deadly, and out for more than just blood, . .

When Rowan Hayes, a soulseer who struggles to keep her gifts hidden in an attempt to have a normal life, is forced to spill her secrets in a mission to kill the creature she accidentally set loose, scores must be settled and balance must be regained.
As an artist whose passions burn wild, there is a darker side to this bright beauty and an evil out there has his eyes on her, eager to make her his queen.


Ties are made and blood is spilled when Rowan is pushed well beyond her human limits and though she may be strong and full of fire, there is more than one creature drawn to her flame.


Like in every battle, lives are lost and freedoms are gained, but what side will Rowan choose to be on For make no mistake, she may have light and brightness in her, but the darkness feels like home.
Owner of my tears, Briana Michaels,

Briana sure does know how to write a fantastic story full of drama, action, love, hate, darkness, light, humour and so much more.
I even shed a few tears near the end,
I loved Rowan and reading her journey into discovering who she is, Looking forward to reading the next book to see what trouble is brewing next! I never leave reviews but the attempt at Scottish speech in this book is the worst Ive ever read.
Im from Scotland. Writing was terrible, not a stitch of chemistry between the characters and just altogether awful, I absolutely adored the strong female lead, Rowan, Funny and passionate, she holds her own in a supernatural shitstorm with fae, druids and demons, The plot kept me guessing and the romance was sizzling! The book is selfcontained, so you don't have to buy the next one to find out what happens to the characters next, but with engaging secondary characters and story arcs, you'll want to!! I purchased this book because it was recommended to me by a fan of the JR Ward Series Black Dagger Brotherhood.
I enjoy the combination those books over of romance and fantasy while maintaining a solid plot that will be carried out through a series of books.

Shatter was everything I had hoped it would be, and so much more, This writer has a young, fresh voice, who's spirit you can all but see jumping off the pages.
Her story offers readers a contemporary feel, with a twist in lands beyond the here and now, I also absolutely loved how her story lines looped back around and connected, I cannot wait to read the next book of the series, and see what all she does with it.
This is a great book! I had the pleasure of meeting the author at a book fair an decided to pick up a copy of her book, an was pleasantly surprised by how good it is! I didnt have a hard time following what was going on an I never wanted to put it down! Every chapter kept me wanting more.
It is a tad repetitive with some of the phrases, an has some words missing in sentences, but thats easily overlooked.
The main character Rowan is very relatable to me, a super headstrong female with a loving soft heart.
I am super excited to read the next one! So glad I picked up bookThis book had so much potential, the storyline was a great one but unfortunately this book was awful, best way to describe this book is 'cheesy' it was like reading a syfy brated movie.
The characters were immature, and just plain stupid, you just wanted to smack them upside the head,

I hate the fact that I am one of these people who will stick with a book no matter how bad it is, this one was pure torture.
Sins of the Sidhe Briana Michaels
Shatter Book

Wow, this author has quickly become a favourite with me.
This I believe, is her very first foray into the literary world as a published writer, And what a debut!

We first meet our FMC, Rowan as she prepares for a girlie day out with her two besties.
Rowan has a dark secret, She is a soul seer and has been sort out by dark spirits since she was a small child.
Rowan struggles with this side of herself as she does not fully understand what it is or where it came from.


Our male lead is a Druid think Highlander meets Braveheart named Devlin who is a sinfully sexy tall drink of water.
When Devlin meets Rowan, the heat notches up to five alarm fire level! These two were destined to be joined to in a way that will bring the fated end to Devlins and the Fae worlds long time enemy, Lorcan.


Lorcan, a seriously dark Sidhe, has plagued Rowans unconscious mind for years, His sultry journeys into her dreams have always left her feeling emotionally wrung out yet connected to him in a very erotically dark way.
This leaves Rowan extremely vulnerable to his mind games, as she cannot resist his sensual pull,

Rowan and Devlin, aided by Adam, a legendary Sidhe warrior who has his own history with the Lord of Darkness Lorcan, and Ava, part Sidhe/part Angel who has a timely knack for Divine Intervention, embark on a journey of dangerous missions and sometimes even more dangerous selfdiscovery as they search for ways to destroy Lorcan.


The oneliners and popculture references kept me smiling through the entire journey, The lead couple were romantic and volatile in a way that kept me guessing which direction their next scene would take.
The steamy combustion in some of their more intimate scenes left me fanning myself as my own body temperature rose with each encounter.
. . phew

The character development and world building are substantial for the authors first effort, I expect that as I progress through this series, I will see not only the further development of the plot and characters, but the growth of the author as she further hones her craft.


Cant wait to read the next instalment in this series Book, Shine!
Four for this stellar debut!
Wow I don't know what to say about this book.


I was lucky enough to win this book in a competition and I loved it that much I just had to leave a review.


Rowan has grown up knowing she is different from all of her friends, why Because she is able to communicate with the dead.


Devlin is the last druid on earth, Forced to keep the balance between realms all the while seeking the shadow destroyer who is the only one that can end the ultimate soul sucker.


A chance encounter at a fair with a tarot reader has Rowan and Devlin's path crossing, but the fates and the gods have already decided what is to become of the druid and soul seeker.


Well done Briana fantastic novel and I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has installed.
I wasnt exactly sure if the book I was reading was the same book that I read about in its description, because it was so much more.
Our heroine, Rowan, has special supernatural abilities, As a teenager, she thought she was losing her gift, so in desperation she performed an action that accidentally set forth a dark evil into the world.
Year later, people have come to her looking for her help in setting things right, And thats about all Im going to say about the plot, because you have to read the book.
It was basically everything I wanted in a great read: fae, mystery, darkness, romance of the very hot and steamy variety, relationship struggles, humor, frustration.
I couldnt put the book down, I needed to know what was going to happen, while having thoughts like “damn it, no!”, “please dont let this really be happening”, and “awsitelinkwww.
. . ”. There were so many surprises just when you thought your brain could handle it no! The author throws in a twist that makes you internally or maybe externally scream with frustration, because the story is just so good.
My feelings about Shatter are much more eloquent when Im thinking it, but my review is kind of a jumbled mess because my brain is fried in trying to process and reprocess this awesome book.
A must read book and series! Love it

Amazing book! I love everything by Briana Michael's what an awesome writer.
I can't wait for moreclick next book lol, My first book by this author and will be my last,
I was enjoying this book up until about, . hence thestar rating.
At this stage Rowan started to do my head in, Her instant anger had me rolling my eyes, The way she treated her life long friend Brinley,
Everything from that point on just annoyed the fuck out of me, Her pity parties were numerous but then every character in this book had them, made this book very hard reading,
Rowan description was confusing, Devlin description had her as short but Lorcan was thinking about her long legs WTH
Finally aboutI couldnt take it anymore and started skimming right up to the end of the book.

I had such high hopes for this book and series, . . Im disappointed that I wont be continuing on with series, I honestly thought I would be adding this series to my favorites.
Magical Mayhem

This book had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next.
An entertaining mix of magic, mystery, battles, and romance, Ready to read the next book in this series, This review is just me recounting the events of what happened in the book so I can I remember what I've read.


I suggest not reading this if you don't want to know all the details I'm recounting.


Okay, so, we got rowan, Christina, amp brinley, They are three beasties. They head to the ren fair, both dressed up except for christine, which was predicted by the other two amp a bummer.
They got to tarrot reading there amp brinley is read, The psychic though freaks out amp says, I can't read your card, you need to leave, The girls leave amp the psychic calls up someone amp says, "found the shadow breaker", dun, dun, dun .

Her profession is blowing glass she owns a shop does this along side jeremy also, apparently sees dead ppl in her dreams.


There's Adam, lorcan, ava, druid, amp delvin, Adam amp Loran or fallen fae

Adam amp delvin stop by her shop they ask her if she can see the darkness, they stopped time, she says yes, they ask her to come with them.
Apparatus delvin is a druid,

Sooo, apparently, it's her fault they all are dealing w/the darkness, For yrs she was able to talk w/dead spirits after the cat that swiped at her keg amp seeing her friends grandma appear during a seance during a sleepover.
They stopped "coming" to her amp she was obsessed, So she went to the woods amp summoned them up by blood apparently it unleaded a real bad evil lord amp delvins pissed.
At the end of her story, they knock her out,

Wakes up to a fox on her bed, She pets him, the boys apologize for putting her under using a spell, The fox name is fintain they are heading to Ireland for her to train, She's packing. And I ahve a feeling she's eventually gonna be w/two dudes, delvin druid amp Adam fae, There's a shadow in the curtains, She defeats it by swiping her hand at itm she lies to Adam about it, He tells her to tell the truth, She tells it. Then delvin comes in, kisses her,

Okay, apparently lorcans got a hard on for rowan, He's been watching her but when he finds out she left not on a usual "outing" w/her friends, he got made amp told his minor of darkness to find her.
. .

Ava joined the group, They are at another place, Ava sees lorcan through her, tells the guys, She admits that lorcan feels good to her, They eat dinner. She goes to bed. Fox follows, she's naked, delvinnxan see through foxes eyes but refuses to let him seed ro any further.


Oh man, I'm so bored w/this book, Delvin takes her to faeland she loves it there, then gets frustrated about her situation, ,then screams "you should belong with me" then they kiss, make out angrily, then have some good Ole sex.
amp some more sex, where she then accuses him teasingly that he put a spell on her,

Intro of black dog of death,

Okay so they are bonded, She claimed delivin. He gets to see all her memories amp past, They suggest she speak w/the dead again even though the refused before amp hadn't done so in yrs.
. .

Ooo, bad lorcan, Got a grip on ro when she was trying to communicate w/the dead, Got her on a bed, makes her take her clothes off amp masturbate, hoping to fully piss delvin off knowing that they both claimed each other when it was he who to claim her, not him awkward.
sexy fun time in her head turned to burns, scratches, amp bite marks, . . by the black dogs lorcan commanded, Awkward oh, wow, lorcan had some fun w/her forcing her to orgasm mixed w/pain was truly torture.
Poor girl. But thankfully, a shadow helped her escape when lorcans round of fun had to cease for a scheduled dinner for souls.


She returns, delvin runs like a pansy away from her so she believes he doesn't want her.
She's mad amp he thinks she doesn't want him anymore cause he couldn't protect her, Whatever. They finally argue, then make up, Yay.

They talk about the shadow at her bed, It gets worse. Apparently the shadow is a big deal, Brinley wants to help. Ro doesn't want her there to get her, They argue. Ro tells her to leave, Brinley doesn't. Ro punches her. They throw some words. Brin leaves the room. Later, ro apologizes. Brins not in the mood to forgive, Brin leaves w/Adam .

Ro recounts what happened to her w/lorcan edited sexul version, Tells them about lorcans soul collecting thousands of them delvin amp her have some quick sex, Then they train her how to keep her thoughts to herself, It's not going too well though,

. did they just get married

amp the death bringer has arrived, . . alrighty then he's also the one who marked rowan as the shadow breaker, I guess, . he gifts her a dagger that will kill any fae w/one strike,

Lorcan wants ro cause dead souls flock to

her amp he can use them to his will, so naturally, he wants her as his queen.
Still pissed that delvin has her amp married to boot

When lorcan first found that ro had escaped, he killed Lal the souls around.
Ro, this time around, when seeking the shadows, she found semus dying amp the rest of the dead.
He pleaded w/her to save him/them,

Lrocan captured brinley, Go figure

Okay, so lorcan is now corporal, He takes brinley, as we already know, Ro uncuffs her, hoping she doesn't die, Lorcan comes over amp gets he rally nestled on the bed amp away from brinley cause he needs her for souls.
Also, he's a randy little shit, Then she ends up stabbing his side when the others get there delvin, ava, amp Adam, He back hands her. Lorcan amp delvin fight it out, Ro comes to. Thinks up the damsel card amp lulls lorcan into a flash sense of security by choosing him over delvin.
This breaks devlins heart. Lorcans all smug. They kiss amp make out, She gets him into position, then flings at her magic while then stabbing him w/the fancy fae dagger.
She ends up "sacrificing herself in the process cause it takes too much of her energy, She saves the souls from lorcans dead clutches, tell them to "head toward the light ",they go into her to save her life, saying she is "light".


Adam has a brother named Ruark,

Delvin brings her to faeland where they live hea, Ugh. .
