Broken Wings by Shannon Dittemore

Review by Jill Williamson

Brielle and Jake are growing closer, but her father doesn’t like it–doesn’t seem to like Jake at all. Brielle is certain it’s because of Jake’s faith, but there seems to be something more that her father isn’t saying. And then her dad starts dating Olivia. Brielle doesn’t approve. It’s just a feelings she has. But feelings aren’t enough to convince her dad of anything, so all she can do is stand by and watch… and pick up the pieces if things go bad.

Meanwhile, Jake still doesn’t know why the ring has vanished from the wooden chest. He hasn’t told Brielle that it’s missing, either, and she can tell that he’s keeping something from her. And unbeknownst to Brielle or Jake, Damien in hunting them both, hoping to take the boy who heals and the girl who sees to his master. The Sabres are coming. And Brielle learns more about the reoccurring nightmare she’s been having, and it’s leading Jake and her closer to something big.

I couldn’t put it down! This is a fantastical story of Biblical proportions and yet Dittemore make it feel so real. Brielle learns that faith isn’t a quick fix. That tough times still come. And the ending… Gah! You’ll be desperate for book three once you close this one.

This is one of my favorite new series. Dittemore has accomplished a rare feat with Broken Wings: she’s written a sequel that’s as good as/better than book one. Beautiful, romantic, and fascinating. I couldn’t stop reading this enthralling page-turner. I’ll be the first one in line for book three.

   I was really looking forward to this book But I was a little disappointed, I found it dark/depressing in some parts… In my opinion Angel Eyes was way better. (although I realize that had some dark stuff too…maybe I should just reread them both ) I did like several parts in this book (orange tutu!) and I thought it was good…I don’t know…I’m looking forward to the third though Sierra
   Keep growing beautiful!

     Yeah, there were some dark parts, but I have a feeling it will all work out in the end. There are dark parts in life too, so I don’t mind it in books as long as there is hope, you know? I’m a happy ending girl. Ha ha.
