Broken

Carnelyan Pack #1

by Ascentii Phoenix

Abandoned by her mother and left behind by her father, Evangelyc struggled to survive the two things that plagued her existence: her curse and the sadistic boyfriend she once called her hero. When a series of events put her life in jeopardy, Eva finds herself facing a past she would rather leave buried and a future that forces her to face who she truly is.

After the tragedy of his past and the misfortunes of his present, Kaleb decided it was time to close himself off and dedicate himself to one cause: the battle between lycan species and the annyhylators. That is, until Eva walked into his world and threatens to break his resolve.

Will they confront their pasts, so they might have a chance to become each other’s future?

About the author

Life in Manhattan was stuck on "Go", but even with the constant racing of daily life, Ascentii Phoenix still found time to lose herself in a world of her own creation. Pencil to paper yielded countless poems, short stories, and sketches from her soaring imagination. Characters and events came to life on the pages of her many notebooks and sketch pads, which remained for her enjoyment alone.

With a move south, came a change of pace, life style, and purpose. The quiet of her new home served to focus her mind and enhance her creativity, which ultimately brought forth the completion of her first novel, Broken.

Lycan packs, Vampires, a strong woman determined to fight her bad situation... All that and then some is what you will find in the debut publication of Ascentii Phoenix.
And what a debut it is. There are only a handful of Authors (most of them Indy Authors) which have the ability to write a story that makes it impossible to put down and for me, this is one such creation.

Once you start reading, you get drawn into the scenes - you fear for Evangelyc's safety, feel Kaleb's need to protect her and the slowly growing comfort they find with each other.

This is the first book in the Carnelyan Pack Series and I am looking forward to learn morn about Lyk, Eva, Kaleb, Marie, the annyhylators and the others that were introduced in this book.

Thank you, Ascentii, for a fantastic read.

I'm not sure how I felt about Broken. I liked the story line. The characters were likeable and the mythology behind Ascentii Phoenix's shifting world was unique enough. So what kept me from enjoying it more? There were just times that the language slowed me down.

I'm not sure I can explain exactly what I mean, but I'll try. I think what threw me the most was the terminology that was used to explain the aspects of The Carnelyan Pack world. The terms were kind of technical and formal, which made it awkward to follow. Of course, that could have been just me. The romance, action, mystery and story premise were more than interesting and kept me from turning this into a DNF experience. It also ended in enough of a cliff hanger that I'm willing to give the next book a chance when it's released.

The reviews on this one are really spread and I can see why. I started Broken ages ago but it didn't catch me right away. I put it down for a while and picked it back up and finished it in one sitting. The mythology is good and unique. There is a whole huge cast of interesting characters with different abilities. Werewolves, Vampires, Annyhylators, Angels, you name it and Broken has them. There are levels of each with varying strengths and abilities. There is real chemistry between Eva and Kaleb. The bad guy is a great bad guy, one you can really hate. There is quite a bit of cursing in this book, which I don't mind but some might find excessive.

We meet Eva, a mysterious lady with some strange powers, her scumbag ex-who will do anything to get her back, and Kaleb, prince of the Carnelyan pack of shifters. Well written, well plotted, excellent character development. I could not ask for a better start to a series! It was fast paced from start to finish. This is gonna be one series that I have to plan a day of nothing but reading, because, trust me, once I start on these, nothing does get done...Straight read through, sitting on the edge of my seat! Woot! What a ride this is going to be!
