Lenzi hears voices and has visions - gravestones, floods, a boy with steel gray eyes. Her boyfriend, Zak, can't help, and everything keeps getting louder and more intense. Then Lenzi meets Alden, the boy from her dreams, who reveals that she's a reincarnated Speaker - someone who can talk to and help lost souls - and that he has been her Protector for centuries.
Now Lenzi must choose between her life with Zak and the life she is destined to lead with Alden. But time is running out: a malevolent spirit is out to destroy Lenzi, and he will kill her if she doesn't make a decision soon.
There haven't been too many paranormal books that have really struck me as original lately, but when I saw the cover for Shattered Souls and read the premise, I was completely sold. There's hints of love, a twisty darkness to it and an awesome-sounding plot. This one is a definite must-read for me! What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
Great pick! This one sounds so good and the cover is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we're in store for a love triangle along with a great paranormal aspect too! I can't wait for Shattered Souls too!
ReplyDeleteTotally and completely sold by the cover.... the premise... makes it even better!
ReplyDeleteYES! Sign me up for this one too, can't wait! Though I tire a bit of the love triangle element, I'm holding out hope this is one of the stories where it works really well:)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice! I love the premise. Like you, I can't wait to read the book.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely sounds unique. Can't wait for it either :)
ReplyDeleteEh, I think this one sounds like so many others before it
ReplyDeleteDefinitely has a interesting premise something I am always looking for in paranormal too. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI heard about this book and I am excited to read it! Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteI didn't totally love Shattered Souls, but the cover is definitely to die for! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick! That cover is to die for,
ReplyDeletethis one has such a gorgeous cover and i may buy it just for that. but i'm kind of not loving the whole love triangle that seems to be a big part of the story. i guess we'll see...
ReplyDeletePlease stop by my WoW this week .

Ooh this one sounds great! Different to a lot of other paranormal stuff out there at the moment. It has a really lovely cover too - great pick!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of this one so much! But the protector thing reminds me a little of Angelfire which I loved! Other than that and the love triangle it does sound unique. But I'm getting to where I like the love triangles. It provides tension and a decision for the reader to make as well. We may not get our choice, but we sure do choose sides!
ReplyDeleteThis one is on my list, too!!

Cool cover!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis one does sound pretty good. I'm going to wait to see what others think, though, because I'm wary of the whole love triangle thing. Hope you enjoy it - nice pick!
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like, you can check out my WoW here.
I love the sound of this one.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound different. Complicated too. That's always nice. I love the cover.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous cover! Looks so intriguing. Great pick.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds darkly intriguing, but the "been her protector for centuries" premise sounds a heckuva lot like the Fallen series...
