i loved this whole series ( when the vows break series aswell) but then i read this book and it hurt my heart. why did you have to do Lyn like that why couldn't she get her happily ever after instead of what happened. why didn't you do something to Paul or Kandice.
only reason it gets three stars is because of what happened to Lyn she deserved so much better.
I only read Shattered to keep up with Lyn. I enjoyed Cam’s story and restoration though. I feel sorry for Lyn and the ladies as for Kelsey and Paul...I hope they die of guilt!
This has brought back so many memories and has brought things to surface that were buried and forgotten. I see.myself (dealing with 5 deaths from mom to son-in-law's death within 9 months) and close family members in this predicament (suicidal tendencies). The prayers in this book related to me deeply. This is an eye opener which has lead me to continue to face my fears, but better yet, deal with them continually. Thanks Lakisha Johnson.
Being a combat veteran, there were times when the topic of the subject matter really hit home. Mental illness & stress is real folks; seek help, there's no shame in that. I feel the book left a few issues unresolved but it was very good regardless. I highly recommend any book by Ms Johnson.
Title: Shattered 2 Author: Lakisha Johnson Publisher: Twins Write 2 Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Five Review: "Shattered 2" by Lakisha Johnson My Opinion:
I will say that 'Shattered 2' had me in tears while reading through this story. Seeing how a husband can betray his wife was something to read as he was constantly professing his love for her. It was definitely shown that Thomas needs some therapy too. Along with Thomas, there was Paul that needed help too. Poor Lyn, oh my God, I felt so sorry for her. What I couldn't understand it wasn't like she didn't have friends around her that love her, but I guess that wasn't enough. It was so good to see Camille finally getting a grip on her life, and knowing enough was enough to see some things are not to be. I loved the scriptures, prayers, sermons, therapy, and songs presented in the story that helped me understand it all with all of the 'struggles, emotions, mental, and physical hurt' that was well presented. This was a wonderful story of one being shattering and finally restored to become whole once again...'From shattered pieces to strength, I'm surviving me.' These two stories, 'Shattered 1 and 2,' were simply two good stories that are well worth the reading.
I loved this book and this series. I always feel as though I've gotten a therapy session that I didn't know I needed once I finish one of Mrs. Johnson's books. I so happy Cam is working on her and surviving and realizing what she went through doesn't define her because she's persevered through it all. And Lyn...oh Lyn. I will miss you but you aren't suffering anymore. Still don't like Paul. And Thomas!!!!!! I just don't know what to say about him. He irks my soul! I just wish I could've gotten some resolution with him and saw where and how him and Cam went forward. Cuz dude was on a whole nother level douchebag-ness 😡
I have every read all of your books, and this was the most informative, especially concerning life trials, suicide, and relationship. This book should be a movie! At 69, I never thought a book could make me cry and encourage me at the same time. I literally wept! I still wanted Lyn to survive to show Paul she could survive without him, but life, good and bad happens to all of us. You are a superb author, and I will continue to read what you write. PLEASE let us know how life treated the other characters without any more deaths 🙏🏾♥️.
My heart broke for Kelsey over Lynn's decision. Although, I can understand how she came to her ultimate conclusion I hate that she did. With all the preaching, prayer, love, family and friends surrounding her, depression and sadness can still make you feel all alone. It can overwhelm you and overtake all of your waking thoughts. I agree with the message of this book: get help when you need it regardless of what others say or think. Thomas and Camille getting divorced was definitely for the best. Good ending.
Shattered 2 was very emotional but fulfilling at the same time. I couldn’t put this book down. It definitely didn’t disappoint. There were some hard learned lessons in Shattered 2, that kept you in awe of God. Lakisha Johnson was most definitely on point with this book and I would highly recommend it. Kudos again for a good read.
This book shines so well because of the prime focus on Camille. The emotional and spiritual process to recovery was a journey. The side story of Lyn was wonderful. (Do not read the other comments if you haven't read this book yet. Fans are giving away spoilers) Lakisha Johnson's novels are doing so well because she is led by the Spirit and writes with authenticity. Keep hitting home runs! Looking forward to reading what's next!
At the moment my life is in turmoil n due to the recent death of my brother. I also lost my oldest son over a year and a half ago as well. I am still within the grieving process and feel as if there is no sign of relief. Shattered and Shattered 2 have been so therapeutic for me. I found myself in tears during the last part of the book. I recommend them both, along with When The Vow Breaks series.
Reading this book was so spiritual! I love the prayers and the songs. It was some devastating moments and happy moments. I recommend this book for anyone that’s struggling with emotionally,mentally and physically hurt from your past or the present. Lakisha this book was a 10!!
This book was spiritual, therapeutically and a good read. The scripture and Psalm were inspiring. This book encourage you to seek help when needed. This book was like the real thing. Lakisha out out every thing into this book, love it. I pray that God will keep inspiring you to write book for your reader. Blessings
These books had my emotions all over the place.. them ladies truly had a wonderful sister ship that many experience. Aww poor Lynn she we defeated by her trouble and pain. That hurt my heart bcuz ppl are really feeling like this.. I pray every1 find peace , we all deserve it.. thanks for this series.
I just finished the series "Shattered" and let's just say I wasn't expecting that ending. I love the way this author is so real with her telling of stories. She brings her characters to life and it's like you know these people. If you all haven't read any of her books, I challenge you to read just one. Pick one and you'll be a forever avid reader of hers.
This series was another awesome set. Im so very happy I decided to read it. If I had not I would have missed a wonderful read. Lakisha you are an incredible writer. This series was very inspiration gave me things to think about. It was as if I actually was right there with all 6 of the ladies. Please keep up the awesome writing. Much love my sistah
I’ve read the original series and this spin off. The characters move you and wrap you in their arms. Crying may happen with the book but that is you feeling the emotions of their lives. I await the next glorious series by this author.
This book touched on so many different emotions because it seemed so real. I enjoyed the book so much so I started it about 6pm and finished it the same night. I recommend this book but be ready because it touches on all emotions.
This book was so good. The author made the characters so relatable. Camille’s journey of restoration causes many moments of reflections. There were times I wanted to be in the presence of Dr. Scott and Pastor Magnolia. Can’t wait to see what’s next by Mrs. Johnson.
My God! This was so real. I laughed. I cried. I prayed. This author is amazing. for reminding me that I am not alone. I've got a child to live for. God is real. Being broken is not the end. I can be restored
This one was a hard read for me. It made me sit and reflect on things in my life. I like Cam is shattered as well. I have never had to look beyond my own persona I have created. It has also taught me as well.
Lakisha your such a amazing writer. You had my thoughts all over place. My emotions to this book is that i felt it. I could relate to some of the stories. But mostly i definitely will pray more and keep god first. Thank you!!!
I love Lakisha way of writing. She pulls you into each character’s mind and makes you feel their pain, their joy, and their love. This sequel is great! I wish the ending was different but other then that a great read!
This book was so realistic to me. So many people hurting and not searching for help. The prayers, scriptures and teachings were good even for a person who isn't struggling.
This whole set has blessed me. It allowed me to think about things I’ve gone through and to genuinely forgive . Forgiveness is for me nit the ones who hurt me!!!
God is Good🙂. This series was deep. We all fall short of sin and we all will go through this thing called LIFE. It takes a strong 💪 person to make it in this WORLD 🌎. But if you know My GOD he want let you down. Must Read
I'm truly blessed with the lessons and prayers you put in your story lines! I have read all your novels and I am overwhelmed with inspiration and encouragement! My God continue to bless your ministry in writing!
Again, this is such a good series! I have cried and had my heart broken and I have gone through every emotion with Cam and Lyn. Lakisha Johnson did an amazing job with this entire series! I recommend that everyone read this series because it speaks to all.
