The Outliers #3
Shattered
THE ONLY THING SHE HAS LEFT TO LOSE IS HERSELF
Carla Mainston is stuck in a dead end job, and her friends have all left her behind. Life sucks, so she quits her job and nearly blows up her bullying boss with her malfunctioning powers. Then she heads out into the world on a quest to find her missing friends.
High on power and running away from her problems, Carla travels to Zoola—party central—and becomes engrossed in a dangerous world of drinking and escapism, completely unaware of the devastating effects it will have on the people she cares about the most.
Her drinking and clubbing begins to spiral out of control when she ends up homeless and friendless with dangerous enemies popping up all over the place. With a hit man trying to kill her and a psychopath stalking her, she’ll be lucky if she survives long enough to make amends and pick up the pieces of her shattered life.

I just finished this second book in the series and I totally love it, even more so than the first one. It's great fun and action-packed. Never a boring moment, and I love Gobbert!
Can't wait for the next book in the series!

I really enjoyed this book, I've read both Detention and Legacy - and let me say that Shattered was so much more action packed. I loved how there was constantly something going on. Carla and Parklon just cannot stay out of trouble, regardless if they're in Derombi or Zoola!
This was such a fun read - I love how far the characters have grown over the last three books, as well as I love how much Claire has grown in a writer, you can feel her becoming more comfortable with her writing when it comes time to Shattered. I highly suggest this series!
** I received a free ecopy of this book, for an honest review.

A must read young adult fantasy. It's the second book in the series and was a great follow up to the first book. After Carla loses her powers, she ventures out into the world to find Parklon, this time and in Zoola. The book explored teenage drinking and fantasy romance in a totally unique way. I also loved Gobbert, he’s hilarious!
I'm noticing a theme in the books, because each one seems to focus on a different colony, which I'm thoroughly enjoying, because I want to know more about this world. Can't wait for the next book!

I love this book! The originality still sparkles and what I especially loved was the introduction of Gobbert, a fat hairy fairy who has bubbles coming out of its rear end! It reminded me a bit of Jenks in Kim Harrison's Hollows series. Carla doesn't always stand up for herself in this book, but when she does... She kicks ass!

I liked this book better than the first. One problem that annoyed me in both books was the editing. There were many mis-spelled words and grammar problems. There was even one place in the book where Parklon's name was mis-spelled.

I loved this book even more than the first one! It was a fantastic fantasy read and I'm dying to read the next one!
