Broken

The Onyx Wolves #2

by Raven K. Asher

After Gage’s death, Parker doesn’t know how she will go on.
It certainly doesn’t help that her now broken bond is forcing her to relive that horrific moment over and over again.
Every time she falls asleep she’s haunted.
She’s stuck in a never-ending loop that feels completely real, so real that at times Parker doesn’t know reality from her dreams.
That is until her dream changes, and someone new pops up in Gage’s place.
He was so much like Gage, but different all the same.
Once Parker returns to reality, she allows her curiosity to guide her on a path that takes her to a familiar hotel where the Hunters stayed.
There she finds the guy from her dream, Blue.
He’s everything she imagined him to be but with one major catch. Blue is a Hunter.
Parker’s world quickly spins out of control to the point where she has a hard time telling the difference between what’s actually happened and what hasn’t.
Everything becomes clear the moment her past dream about Blue becomes a reality.
Only she can save him from the gun pointed at his head.
Making a split second decision, she attacks the shooter. Her attack stops Blue from being killed instantly, but it doesn’t prevent fate.
Parker has another decision to make. She has to decide whether or not to change Blue into a wolf in order to save his life or to just let him go.
She changes him.
But that comes with its own consequences.
Blue hates her and what he’s become.
After everything that she’s been through will Parker be able to win over Blue’s heart? Will she be able to turn his hatred into love?
Better yet, will Blue be able to break the cycle that Parker has had to relive?
Only time can decide.
But time is also against them.

This was a really good sequel. The way the author turned around the devastation from book one was brilliant. There were lots of twists that kept me glued to the pages. I am dying for the next book!!! Five glittery stars!

Gage is dead. There was no way to save him after being shot in the head. The bond being broken is causing so much grief, Parker can take the pain. She's having dreams where she sees Gage being shot and killed over and over driving her mad. Then one night the dream changes, and instead of it being Gage, it’s a man who looks like him but is named Blue. Still, in the dream, this man dies as well.
I have to admit, as emotionally invested in book 1, Bound, as I had become, I was devastated that Gage had been killed. Now, the plot takes a twist and a whole new set of emotions are set loose as Raven K. Asher took me through yet another journey with her characters that left me spellbound and wanting more. There's a cliffhanger waiting, but isn't that what makes a good series and keeps you coming back? This one is no exception.

Wow this is an amazing 2nd book to the series and I’m excited that I’m going to read the next two books Betrayed and Brave. This story tugged at my heartstrings with Parker and her loss of Gage is so crippling she dreams about him every night until one night she didn’t and there was someone else who appeared in her dreams, but she didn’t know what was real and what wasn’t. She finds the man that she’s been dreaming about and that is Blue, but Blue is not a wolf he is a hunter. There is so much emotional charged feelings in this book and I’m getting black circles under my eyes from crying so much lol, but it’s a very entertaining heartfelt story and I loved every bit of it. A fantastic story a 5 plus ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

The ending of book 1 was devastating. I was emotionally involved in the storyline and I couldn't believe the author took the reader there. Fortunately for us, there is an interesting twist that the author reveals in this book that made it go from a good story to a great story. I still struggle with the main character's propensity to get involved with more than one male within each book as I don't believe that to be realistic. It doesn't gel with the character traits the author used to create her character. Regardless, this book was entertaining and action packed.

Broken by Raven K. Asher This is another awesome book by one of my favorite authors. It is about shifters and I love reading about them a lot. This story is an emotional roller coaster that will have you crying screaming and happy all the way threw the story. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves shifter stories.

This was a wonderful book two in the series. Ms. Asher threw in some thins I never would have thought of in a million years. I was blown away. In a completely good way. Of course again I was with the screaming and crying, and happiness, but that just meant the book was amazing!!! I cannot wait to see what she comes up with in the next one!!

I’ve read a lot of books written by Raven Asher; she has done a great job at writing a good book. She is one of my favorite authors and I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

[Wanda Jewell · Rating 4 out of 5]

I honestly enjoyed the book. There are some twists not normally seen in shifter books. I do think that Parker is not a true alpha as she depends too much on others for her strength. The characters are well written and you get involved with them, but.. Parker cries too much for my tastes. This is a good book.

Angst

I really almost started to hate the main character. There is redemption of sorts so I'm glad I kept reading. Captivating and sometimes a frustrating read but you shouldn't be able to read a book that doesn't evoke some stronger emotions.

[Kimberly · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is a good paranormal romance read. The book a good second story in the series. The characters are good. The story has some twists that you would not normally be seen in a shifter read.
