SHATTERED REALMS BY MELISSA WRIGHT

Picture
When flying monsters break through the veil into her world, Mackenzie Scott has nothing left to lose. Her brother has been taken, her future has vanished, and all that remains is a desperate need for revenge. After discovering the breach the creatures used as a gateway, Mackenzie devises a plan to stop them, whatever the cost.
When she finds an injured stranger in the street, he just might be the key she needs to succeed. What Mackenzie doesn't know is that this stranger isn't the helpless boy he appears to be. He's one of the monsters. And he's got plans of his own.
Thrown into a dying city in another realm, Mackenzie is powerless to get back. With the gateway closing, time is not on her side. But the stranger is, and if they can escape execution, this girl and her monster might be able to save both their worlds.

Flying monsters have broken through a veil in the sky. With people abandoning their homes, Mackenzie Scott and her brother must fend off for their lives. That is until a single scratch from one of the beasts marks Riley. To keep his sister safe, he leaves her in the middle of the night to go join the army. Now all alone, Mackenzie discovers the gateway used to join her world with that of the dying realm. With Hunter the stranger she saved from the raging monsters by her side, she begins her journey. But this stranger is no boy. He is the Sons of the sons. He is one of the monsters…

Mackenzie is a strong willed girl who has lost so much already, yet she is still willing to risk her life to save the life of an unknown stranger, from the very monsters she fears. That alone took great courage.  I loved her strong will to stop at nothing to get her brother back safe and sound.

Hunter’s character was mysterious. He’s a monster, but there’s a different quality to him that I can’t quite put my finger on. It made we want to know him, to understand him. I wanted to learn about his world, and how it works. I enjoyed how his position in the realm ran much deeper than I had anticipated, which made his character all the more interesting.

My only problem with this novel was the slight confusion at the start as I tried to understand about the dying realms, but I soon got over that as I slowly began to understand as the novel went on. I quite enjoyed Melissa Wright’s work and cannot wait to start her other series the Descendant straightway.

Quite a short review? How many pages is this book? Is it thin?

It is indeed quite a short book. There is only 205 pages in the novel. It's great for reading in between other series.

Not that much of a fan when it comes to short books, but it won't hurt to ask the librarian to order a copy in.

I already ordered the book online. I can still cancel the order but I'd still very much like to read it still.

Don't cancel it! I'm sure it'll still be a worthy read.

Don't worry, I didn't. I received it in the mail two days ago, and I've just begun to read it.

Don't really like the cover that much but it looks like a quick and short read so why not give it ago and see how it goes

Yeah the cover looks bad tbh. Never judge a book by it's cover. Or so they say. I'll have to see if this book applies to this rule :)

Loving the background of the cover, but the characters look much too Photoshopped, which don't give it a nice look.

I totally agree with you. I'm not much of a fan when it comes to things being over Photoshopped.
