Fractured Sky

The Tattered & Torn Series, Book 5

De: Catherine Cowles

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Erin Mallon

Damaged. Broken. Destroyed. I’ve heard it all. A single moment of trusting the wrong person shattered my life into pieces, and my family has never looked at me the same. It’s impossible to convince them that I’m anything more than the broken girl they rescued all those years ago.

Until I meet him.

Ramsey’s grumpy demeanor and menacing scowl scare most of the world away. But not me. Not when I’ve seen his gentle hands soothe an abused colt or comfort a terrified mare.

And when I finally get up the courage to strike out on my own, Ramsey’s there. Roommates felt like such a safe proposition until Ramsey’s lingering touches and wicked smile light a fire in me I don’t think will ever be extinguished. And he feels it, too....

But just as my new life begins to take root, an evil from my past emerges from the shadows, casting a darkness on my newfound freedom. And this time, they won’t settle for pieces of me. They want everything....

Amazing story!

What an amazing ending to this series!! This audiobook wrecked me in the best way ever!! Definitely on of my top reads this year.

The Tattered & Torn series has become one of my favorites series ever and I LOVED each single book on it but Fractured Sky was just superb. With Shiloh's story everything comes full circle. Catherine Cowles saved the best for last.

I loved Ramsey on Shattered Sea, his self guarded persona made me want to know more about him and in this book you find out his heartbreaking story. There is nothing about him I don't like, he captivated me with his good heart and I love how he was able to bring Shiloh out of her shell and vice versa. They were able to heal, support, love and give hope to each other.

If you've read the previous books in the series then you know Shiloh has been to a very traumatic experience that have left her family dealing with the fall out of this. Little by little her siblings have been able to move with their lives but she feels stuck, unable to move forward until she mets Ramsey and he offers her the support she needs. Their love stars slow but is beautiful in every single step.

Now without giving too much into details the plot twist towards the end I didn't see coming and it completely shocked me and what a nerve breaking moment it was.

I was fortunate to read and listened to the arc, the narrators did a fantastic job bringing this book to live.

This was a beautiful series that is a must read, no doubt about that.

Saved the best for last!

I am in mourning that this series has ended. I discovered Catherine Cowles through reading Tattered Stars, Book 1 in this series, and have been hooked on these characters since then. Ms. Cowles did save the best for last. Having met Shiloh through Hayes and Everly's book and seeing glimpses of her in subsequent books, I knew that Shiloh's book would rip me apart because I would learn all the details Shy never shared with anyone. It didn't escape my notice that the author paired Shiloh with another character who was just as fractured. Ramsey Bishop had scars of his own that he's long since buried deep. He preferred solitude and silence. He let no one get to know him or step foot on his property except for Shiloh and the Chambers boys. They all had a kinship of sorts that stemmed from their traumatic experiences. It's like their hearts and souls communicated the things that needed to be said before they were voiced. While I cried tears of sadness for all that Ramsey, Shiloh, Elliott, and Aidan endured at the hands of evil, I also cried tears of joy that they all found each other to learn how to heal and set a new course for life and love. The healing didn't only happen for this foursome, but also for the entire Easton clan and for Everly.

I am not poetic enough or talented enough to find the right words to truly describe how phenomenal this piece of art called Fractured Sky is. Long story short, Ms. Cowles created a world of characters whose stories found a place on my favorites shelf.

Joe Arden and Erin Mallon as Ramsey and Shiloh respectively.... CHEF'S KISS! They brought these characters to life. I felt every heart ache and every joy they experienced.

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Fractured!!!

I am in a book hangover!!! Where to go now...what a way to end this series!! Can hardly wait for the next one!!

Perfect End to the Series!

Catherine Cowles truly brings the series full circle in Fractured Sky! I was excited for Shiloh’s story, and Cowles truly delivered! Excellent narration. I highly recommend!

Perfect conclusion

“𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙄’𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚. 𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙢𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙡𝙚. 𝙈𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.”

This book takes us back to the beginning of the series, and really brought us full circle.

𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘬𝘺 focuses on Shiloh, the daughter who was abducted 17 years ago when she was 10 years old, the starting point of everything that happened throughout these books.

Shiloh wasn’t the only MC with a dark, traumatic past. Ramsey was so mysterious in the previous book, and I was very intrigued to learn more about him.

Shiloh’s story was everything I was hoping for, with the horses, and “those boys”. There was so much healing going around, and it really felt like the perfect way to finish off the series.

And, as there was a bit of a teaser for 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘠𝘰𝘶, guess what Catherine Cowles series I’ll be diving into next! 🤔

Audiobook notes: Erin Mallon was great! Loved her performance for Shiloh.

What this book is giving:
✅ Small Town Romance
✅ Romantic Suspense
✅ Dual POV
✅ Healing
✅ Emotional
✅ Whodunit…I’ll never guess
