SHATTERED is Book 3 in Cynthia Eden's LOST series. I
recommend reading the previous book in this series,
TWISTED. The two main
characters first meet in TWISTED, and Jax Fontaine is also
first introduced in that book. As with other books in
this series, people and events from the past haunt the
present with deadly results.
This LOST series by Cynthia Eden is amazing and she
kicks things up another notch in SHATTERED. The chemistry
is electric between criminal psychologist Dr. Sarah
Jacobs and bad boy Jax Fontaine. Cynthia does what she
does best and creates a sensual slow burn and terrific
sexual tension of epic proportions. Jax has
that perfect dangerous and sexy edge, but more layers to
his personality are revealed and he becomes more
interesting as the story progresses. Sarah and Jax both
have things that scarred them in their childhood, and
they recognize similarities in each other that might not
be obvious at first. I like that SHATTERED is told from
both main characters' perspectives. The trust issues in
SHATTERED add to the intensity of the relationship that
develops between Jax and Sarah. I love the LOST series,
but SHATTERED is my new favorite so far.
Cynthia Eden keeps you guessing as to the identity of the
psychopath in the shadows that has it out for Sarah. One
of the candidates is her imprisoned serial killer dad.
Sarah's father is yet another thing that makes SHATTERED
such a fascinating and thrilling story. Murphy Jacobs is
an enigmatic madman. Murphy has the twisted logic of
Jigsaw from the "Saw" films. However, his relationship
with his daughter is perhaps the most bizarre thing about
him. Murphy and Sarah almost have the kind of cat and
mouse relationship as that of Hannibal Lector and Clarice
Starling from THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS by Thomas Harris,
but without a sexual component.
SHATTERED is a masterpiece of eroticism and suspense.
Each installment of this series is
highly addictive and a book to clear your schedule for.
With each book, you become more and more emotionally
invested in the team members of LOST and eager to see how
each of their stories play out. I look forward to
reading the next book in this series and furthering my
Cynthia Eden addiction.
