Book Description
Llona will do whatever it takes to protect her newfound
friends and home, but the dark plot that is threatening Lucent Academy, a
school that's supposed to be a safe place for Auras, may be too
powerful for even Llona to defeat. This fast-paced tale of love,
loyalty, and overcoming the darkness will keep you on the edge of your

My Review
This is the second book in the series. I was blown away by the first book. If you didn't read the first book, here is a synopsis of what happened...
About
Fractured Light
Llona
Reese is used to living on the run. After the Vykens killed her parents, she
knew they would eventually come for her too. She can’t take any chances. But
when she starts to make friends for the first time in her life, she gets
careless and lets her guard down. Big mistake.
As an Aura, Llona can manipulate light and harness its energy. But if she wants to survive, Llona will have to defy the Auran Council and learn to use her power as a weapon against the Vyken whose sole desire is to take her light. Now she’s caught in something even bigger than she can understand, with a power she can’t wield, and no one she can trust, except, just maybe, a mysterious stranger.

I loved Fractured Light, and I started reading Fractured Soul cautiously. You know about the "2nd book curse" in a series right? Many times they are never as good as the first book. Well...you are NOT going to find that to be the case with this book.It is just as good or better than the first book! Many reviewers rate books by stars,I rate my books by what I'm doing while I'm reading a book. If I'm having a hard time staying awake and can easily put a book down to go to sleep, well...you get the picture. With Fractured Soul...I didn't EVER want to put this book down, even when I could hardly keep my eyes open. I also was jumping in my seat, and exclaiming things out-loud; such as, "I can't believe she just did that!", "Oh no!!", and, "Run!!". Yes, people have told me I'm very annoying while reading a book like this or very entertaining.
There are so many things I loved about this book! The action is so consistent and very little down time. Main character, Llona is still a beautiful, independent, kick-butt girl. There really isn't a love triangle in this book. Llona loves one guy, but there are things keeping them apart. Once again there is a mystery in this second book that keeps you guessing until the end. Speaking of the end....explosive!! You can finally breathe at the very end of the book, because you will be holding your breath in tense excitement. This YA Paranormal thriller is a must read for teens and adults. Rachel has created a story that you will love reading from beginning to the end.
