Shattered Bonds Shattered My Heart

Posted on by JDBlackrose

Shattered Bonds by Faith Hunter just about shattered my heart. Jane and Bruiser’s relationship morphs beyond sexy into something deep and lasting. Eli, the ever present body guard/warrior/brother is constant and true. (I want to marry Eli when I grow up.) Molly is a soul sister, as we already knew, and Jane’s love for her god-children flashes brightly.

But it is Beast and Jane’s relationship that made me weep. I won’t say anything to spoil it, but I/We are Beast. Oh. My. Heart.

Oh, yeah, there’s a lot of action. Dead vamps. Not so dead vamps. Healing waters. Guns. The Glob. The crown. Naturaleza. The stupid Europeans. Arcenciels. Gee flies in and out. (Love him.) CBD oils comes up a couple of times. And Brute is one hell of a babysitter. Hayyel plays an important part and I was worried for a while because our beloved author likes to play games with us (cat’s paw?) but in the end I was able to breathe.

And did we mention that Jane has magical cancer and it’s pointy? Yeesh.

If you love Jane, as I do, you will LOVE this book. It’s fantastic. It brings things together that were left hanging. If you haven’t met Jane yet, don’t read this book. Go to book number 1 and call in sick to work. You have a lot to catch up on. In the meantime, read this exclusive excerpt!

EXCERPT #1

SHATTERED BONDS by Faith Hunter, copyright Faith Hunter: Excerpt One

Beast pawpawpawed, slow, across ridge of rock over creek. Silent. Good predator. Moving back paw into front paw track, pawprints overlapping in fresh layer of snow. Beast lifted snout and sniffed, breath in two white clouds in icy air. Wind blew own scent back, along path. Wind filled nose with musk of three male deer, upwind. Bucks did not see or smell Beast. Beast is best hunter. 

But.

Biggest buck raised head. Sniffing. Pawing dirt. Eyes on tree bark where Beast had left mark before last pregnant moon. Where Beast had sharpened claws to mark territory. Old spoor. Beast had hunted along creek then. Was best hunter’s old spoor still strong with threat? Had Beast made stupid kit mistake? 

No. Beast is good hunter. Want big deer. Has much meat. Will have good blood and good organs and good belly fat. Beast hungers. Big buck is strong and healthy.

Pawed closer. Crouched. Eyes on other creek bank and deer below. Watching. 

Snow covered ground, deep as Beast paw. Wet rocks were black, sharp as knife blade in hands of human hunter. Sunlight was low, angled. Reflection in pool of water below did not show Beast. Did not show deer. Was good hunting spot. Water splashed from small falls, crisp, like breaking sticks. Would cover Beast sounds. 

Smaller male in male deer herd finished drinking. Leaped up bank to flat ground beneath Beast’s perch. Beast waited. Finally, big deer dropped head. And drank.

  3. Love Beast and the excerpt. Totally agree with the review. I think I’ve cried more reading the Jane Yellowrock books…

    1. You will LOVE this one. It goes really deep into the relationships. Plus all the action and fun, of course. 🙂

  4. This post has me wishing that today was already October 29th and I had this latest installment in my hands. Can.Not.Wait! ?

    1. I totally understand. I’m really lucky to get it early. I can’t wait to discuss it with everyone. It is hard to write a review without giving anything away!

  5. I love Jane Yellowrock/Beast and the whole extended family which goes through the Soulwood series. I do look forward to getting my book and reading this.

  8. I love every book of this series. I think Dark Queen shook me up the most…so looking forward to the outcome in Shattered Bonds.

  11. I’ve listened to the whole series twice in Audible. I’m hungry for the new release!!! They are all incredible.

  13. Love the excerpt and love your review of the book. You just make me more and more excited about getting the book in just about 2 weeks!

  16. The last book broke my heart. I was a little hesitant about this one, but you have reassured me. Of course I have total trustin Faith, but she is a twisty, crafty writer who loves torturing both her characters and her readers!

  19. I have read all of the Yellowrock series except Shattered Bonds. I love all the books. I don’t have a favorite one. Each book builds on the previous one. What I’m not looking forward to is when the series ends. The characters are dear to my heart.

  21. Really? Have I read all of the Jane Yellowrock series? Duh! Paperback? Check. Ebook? Check. Audio? Check!! I have approx two weeks to finish listening to the last 85 hours. (I really hope to read the last 30 twice.)

  23. Whichever book I am reading in the series is my fave when I am reading it. Can’t choose otherwise.

  26. I’m such a big fan of Faith Hunters book series, Jane Yellowrock, and the Soulwood series. I so look forward to each new book. She is an incredible talented story teller.

  27. I really love all Faiths books. It’s like picking a favorite child. But I will say Skinwalker, because that’s where it started. I am very happy I stumbled to her books.

  28. I cannot wait for this book! So excited to read it after the ending of the last book left us hanging.

    1. I’ve only recently gotten into audiobooks. In fact, if I may, I just published an audiobook, which I narrated myself. It was a huge learning curve. I publish under JD Blackrose. It is my Monster Hunter Mom book, The Devil’s Been Busy, but if you like Jane, you will really like my other book, The Soul Wars.
      Here are the links: https://www.amazon.com/Devils-Been-Busy-Monster-Hunter/dp/B07VYBZBFW/ — narrated by me.
      The Soul Wars, narrated by actress Camille Dewing https://www.amazon.com/The-Soul-Wars-Collected-Edition/dp/B07GBF7BWN/

  31. I adore the JY series! If you haven’t tried the audiobooks I strongly recommend them! Khristine Hvam is amazing. The first time I listened I honestly thought there was a full cast reading but it’s just her and she is consistent throughout the series. You always know who is speaking by her voice. Oh, and “Beast is best hunter!!”
