RELEASE DAY: Battles of the Broken by Anne Malcolm




BATTLES OF THE BROKEN
The Sons of Templar #6
by Anne Malcom



BLURB

Souls are interesting things.
Not something you can prove you possess. Not something that can be measured, like a heartbeat.
But something that can be destroyed by the absence of a heartbeat.
No, you cannot prove you possess a soul.
But once that soul dies, there doesn't need to be proof that you don't have one.
Once that blackened pit opens inside you, the world can see it. The world cowers from it.
Gage knew this because his soul was long gone.
He was glad to be rid of it.
He was filled with depraved satisfaction that he could make the world cower from him.
That he could burn the world to the ground and he didn't have anything—like a soul or a conscience—to stop him.
Until her.
The woman who proved to him that she had a soul.
That he might have something left of his.
The woman who tricked the world, blinded it to the truth. Hid expertly what was broken and ruined inside her.
Though he was about to prove that there was nothing more broken than him. No one more broken.
He'd prove that by destroying them both.




 

 



First, if you can get by that cover without feeling the NEED for this book than you are stronger than I. This cover just does something to me. The creativity and beauty in it is just all consuming. I can’t look away from the beauty of it! It matches the words perfectly by Anne Malcom. There is just something about the stories by Ms. Malcom. She can pull me in and push me away with one sentence… but I always keep coming back to her novels. These stories are more than just a made up mess to me… these characters are etched into my heart with what Ms. Malcom puts them through. It’s all incredibly devastating and beautiful in the same breath. The book is really long, just an FYI, but it’s written in this way that you feel as if you are in it, not reading it.

Battle of the Broken is the story of Gage and Lauren. I’ve been ready for Gage’s story for eons, or at least that’s how it feels anyway. Gage, oh beautiful and broken Gage… so broken and dangerous. How him and Lauren fall for each other is quite the wonder. Lauren and her organized state. She is everything Gage is not. However, not all is as it seems with Lauren… who knows what she’s hiding… what secrets she has. Ms. Malcom gives us such a gritty and real story that it pulled at me. I loved them seeing each other, finding each other… they really recognize themselves in each other.

Sit down… grab some tissues and hold onto your heart. Watching two beautiful people, broken people, grapple and try to hold onto each other and find their way will make your heart bend and break a bit. It’s one on the best stories Ms. Malcom has given us yet! Superb!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
