Angst

This is the continuation of the Daniels brother’s story. Now that the both have girlfriends, Alec is still hiding secrets and it is destroying him. It also doesn’t help that they are all on a reality show and every move they make is being filmed. I enjoyed this story, but thought the lead up to the secrets was drawn out a little long. I still enjoyed the story and the ending.

Great follow-up story

This was a great follow up to Alec and Demetri's story. It filled in some of the missing pieces between both brothers and introduced new members into the story.

Great Read

Shatter (Seaside #3) was a great read by Rachel Van Dyken. Alec Daniels seems to have it all; money, fame, and love. But fame comes at a price. One of his past mistakes comes back to haunt him. He could choose to deal with it like a man, or dive back into the dark hole of depression. I really enjoyed this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Good listen

Enjoyed yet another book from this series. Lots of feels in this one. Well written, characters grown, stressed me out at times!

Good for young teen romance genre

Young teen romance. very angsty some heavy duty drama. Continuuming theme throughout all the books death, friends, cheating, family, friendship, love, therapy, music, making better choices.

I liked the story

Really enjoying this series. Listen or read in order, Well worth the credit

Great book!

Oh poor sweet Alec!! I was afraid this would happen, he has been the martyr this whole series but I so glad that Nat made him work for it and heal before she gave in. Great story got me just a bit more attached to these characters. Well done!

Shatter (Seaside #3)

Although I have really enjoyed the series I felt like this book was extra fluff, it really wasn't necessary to the story line other than to introduce Jaymeson (which could have been done in a quicker and simpler way) and it was over the top dramatic, as most of it could have been avoided if Alec had just been honest with Nat and Demetri, or if all the characters wouldn't have played right into the setups when they knew that they were all on a reality show.

The book wasn't badly written and the story itself was good but just very unnecessarily dramatic for my taste. At the same time, I had to remind my self multiple times that the majority of the characters were teenagers just out of high school

I still love the series and would def. recommend it.

The performance by Aaron Landon was done really well, and helped pull the book through the parts that I didn't like as much.

Awesome

Great book, kept my attention all the way to the end, amazing audio delivery, loved it. Will be reading again, every chapter was received amazingly do recommend you give it a read.

Loved it!

Just when I thought AD2 has it all together and we've found out all their secrets, right? Wrong! More secrets and this one could tear them apart! I really love this series!
