Blake is an Elder vampire, meaning he was born that way and not made into one.

Being an Elder, he is one of the Council members that governs their world, his word is law. He has been searching for his Queen all his life, and being over four hundred years old, that's a pretty damn long time. He thinks he has no hope of ever finding her, until he is foretold he will meet her.

And they do meet, but she is cruelly snatched from his arms by his enemies.

When she is kidnapped, she is kept in a veritable fortress and is awakened to the sensual and carnal pleasures that should have been taught by Blake. Instead it is by strangers.

Craving and wanting his touch, she longs for him to rescue her.

Blake is able to send in a couple of people from his Order to protect her while he is unable to. Unbeknown to him, his brother is still alive and where she is being kept, Blake wrongly thought he had died long ago. But he has turned into a very mean and controlling vampire.

Blog Tour: Fractured Souls by Jessica Sorensen


Fractured Souls (Shattered Promises, #2)
By Jessica Sorensen
Available Now, Purchase Links Below!

Blurb (from Goodreads)
Gemma thought she had said her good-byes and had felt every possible emotion she could before her
soul was detached again. Deep down inside, she hoped she’d never wake up from it because, in her
eyes, life without emotion and memories isn’t worth living.

But she does wake up and discovers she can still feel and remember everything she experienced over
the last few months. Alex is also telling her that everything’s okay, that he didn’t betray her, and that
what she thought happened really didn’t.

Gemma isn’t sure if she can trust Alex, so she tries to keep her distance from him, even though the
electric connection and her desire make it nearly impossible. The only person she can trust is Laylen, but
even that becomes complicated when the lines of their friendship begin to blur.

While Gemma struggles with her emotions and relationships, she searches for her mother, entering a
dangerous world of secrets, seduction, and evil. The further she digs into her mother’s secrets and past,
the more she wonders what waits for her at the end of her search and if maybe some things are better
left in the dark.

My Thoughts:
I am a huge fan of Jessica's writing; she's in my top 5 Favorite author's. I am currently reading Fractured Souls, and loving it. I was hoping to have it completed by the blog tour date, but that wasn't possible. No worries though, I will post my review as soon as I finish the book. Jessica's creative writing style always captivates and intrigues me.

I loved the original Fallen Star Series, but I am so glad that Jessica decided to rewrite, revamped, spice them up a bit, and give us (her readers) and adult version. The storyline is for the most part familiar to me because I have read the original Fallen Star series, but they are completely different books. Their not just the same books with a few sex scenes thrown in...and let me tell you there are some seriously hot scenes in this book...eek! 

I've went from reading Ember by Jessica Sorensen straight into reading Fractured Souls, and I think I could continue to read book after book of her writing and never get bored of it. Each book is uniquely its own, there is no redundancy. She's truly an amazingly talented writer. Thank you for visiting Kindred Souls Book Blog. Come back again soon for my review of Fractured Souls.

Author Bio:
One day while slaving away at her monotonous day job, Jennifer Martinez found her true calling. Like a firefly in the night, the pages called to her. Once she caught the bug there was no stopping it. Her fingers flew furiously across the keyboard winding tales of love, mystery and anger. She snapped out of her reverie to find herself still behind the desk but at least she knew who she was… Author Jennifer Martinez.
I like to think of myself as a beautiful conundrum. When I am not writing, I can be found surrounded by my amazing family and 4 dogs or volunteering at a local animal rescue. I love who I am and don’t mind at all when I get strange looks from people. I am a tattoo covered, child and animal lover who looks forward to destroying peoples preconceived notions of what “someone like me” would be interested in. You only live life once… you may as well make it interesting.
I love to get lost in a good book and hope that everyone will get lost in mine.
