Best. This is the best book I've read in a long time I'm so hooked now it's worth the five *****

Fantastic. Fantastic i finished the book in a couple if hours and even stayed up til 4:30am finishing the book because i couldnt stop reading it

Dont waste your time. Soooooo slowww!!! Boring!

Loved this!. I couldn’t put this book down! 24hour read 😂💯🤷🏻‍♀️ Loved this book! If u don’t have time don’t start reading this! 💯

Brocken. Hi my name is:Amy Jo smith and I want to say that I really like this book and I hope I can read the other books that you right I would really enjoy that. So if you have time please e-mail me back. Thank you for your time and for letting me read this book.

Really bad. Bad attempt at copying twilight.

Broken. This was a great book! Highly recommend reading!!!

low quality writing. I tried, I really tried. The way the story was written, it sounded like a high schoolers aspirations to be a writer when they grow up. A few "smart" words peppered in here or there to try and gussy it up made a sad attempt to pull up the quality of the overall book. The core idea with the legend is a good one, but this book needs a lot of revision in order to turn it into a truly great, original, story.

I loved this book. I couldn’t stop reading this book, even if I tried. This is an amazing book. I need to read Torn now.

Fantastic!. Omg this is the best book ever! At the beginning it was kinda slow but then around the middle of the book, it was so fast paced and amazing. I was surprised i already finished it. Please write more with these two people in it.

Broken. Well written! I’m considering purchasing the entire series in hardback format. This is one of those books that I would love to have always on my book shelf. This truly did not disappoint.

Cliché. The cliques were stereotypical, and while the descriptions were good there wasn’t enough balance with dialogue. Slow and a little too much like Twilight.

really good. i loved this book i couldn’t put it down very descriptive well done

😍😍😍. I loved this book! And I highly recommend it. The ending was a little bit of a disappointment but it was worth it because in between it was awesome!

Broken. This book was pretty good. I was glad to have finally found a romance that wasn't rated R. The only thing that seemed off was that the characters who were supposed to be 17 had a wide vocabulary and used perfect grammar. Other than that the author used amazing detail and description and developed the characters almost perfectly.

Broken. I love this book it was really good I can't wait till I read the second one... I'm so excited

Too good. Omg love this book👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️

Great book. Worth the read

OMG. I looked at the title and the picture and I read the description and I instantly knew this would be my favorite book! I just downloaded it and I hope I <3 it! (;

Broken plot, character and storyline. Somebody get this author a shrink, sheesh. Complete ripoff, and yet, without a shred of affection for our selfish heroine. It's clear somebody has "issues".

Excellent work. I know this book is for young adults, but I’m in my early 40’s and still found this to be a wonderful read. I wouldn’t pass this one up!

It was okay. It was really slow to get to the actual important parts and when it did, it got boring really fast.

Broken. I usually only review books that have a profound affect on me. I would have never picked this book if I had realized what the story was about, it's not my normal reading material! I am so happy that I did choose it! I was so immersed in the story I couldn't put it down!!!! I am now a HUGE Dean Murray fan and have read Torn and Splintered too! They are equally enthralling as this one! If you read this one, you will want to read all of them! I can't wait for more!!!!!

Worth the read. This was not what I was expecting. I want it to be a miniseries-it’s very well written going into detail in all of the right places. Very excited to read the other books. I give 4 instead of 5 stars because of a few things: the book is trying way too hard to be PG. and I get it with the concept of what’s going on but there are moments the tension needs to be broken somewhere because it’s contant, both between Adri and Alec and the packs. In addition, there’s definitive hints at an ED and no time for that character description, except when it comes to self deprication which just isn’t a personal favorite. Overall, though highly recommend. It’s a fun read!

Fabtasing [fabulous, fantastic and amazing]. I have to admit that the book didn’t fully grasp my attention at first but within about 20 to 25 pages it had me reading until i ell asleep. Good read. p.s. I never liked Brandon.

Uh... This was probably one of my least favorite books I’ve ever read. It was so scatterbrained that I had to reread several parts. The reading wasn’t smooth at all. Personally, I hated the main character, but that is a preference. Everything led up to a poor excuse of a fight scene then ended the book two pages afterwards. So much potential, but greatly lacking.

Love Triangle. This was my first novel in this type of genre, I purchased it because it was Paranormal & the price was perfect (free on I-Books). While I found the story was very good & well written it felt like it took forever to get into the story of the book. The author gives a good back story on the main character Adriana & her struggles moving to a new state & trying to overcome personal tragedy. In your typical high school in a small town mentality Adriana finds herself trying to incorporate a new school, personal tragedy, maintain her grades to obtain a college scholarship, find & try to make new friends, & maybe find love. This is when she meets Alec & Brandon. The two most attractive, popular, top of the High School food chain & richest families in town. Alec & Brandon both take an immediate interest & attraction to Adriana, however for very different reasons & this is how our story begins. This a classic high school girl / boy / friends scenario & while the first part of the book is a little tedious & redundant stick with it because once you get into what is going on the story takes off. The second half of this book is action packed & it is one of those page turners that you cannot put down anticipating what comes next. Even though this is the first book in the series I feel like it can be read as a stand alone & I was satisfied with it’s conclusion on it’s own.

A rewrite could help. Yes it's VERY similar to Twilight, but the difference is...(spoilers) Almost 1000 pages are dedicated to building a relationship with Brandon & No real relationship was developed with Alec. Sure he's doing things behind the scene, but no true connection is built. Then, their "love",It's just thrusted on the reader. We are supposed to believe their love when they barely spoke, barely interacted, hardly conversed. As if that weren't bad, a fight to the death was supposed to ensue, instead you cheapened it. I turned to the next chapter confused as hell. Actually went back to see I hadn't missed a chapter. It was Alec coming into his power which could have been an epic read, but you took that away..fail! Please consider a rewrite!!

too slow and then too rushed + confusing. imo, the book started off very slowly and was that way up until the halfway mark. then, from there it was all full speed ahead. the ending was very rushed, and it didn’t really make sense for how the book ended considering the circumstances. besides that, i liked how they didn’t completely disregard school despite all the action going on in there lives, which i can’t say for a lot of teen books nowadays. overall, the book could be better, and i am a bit disappointed considering the length of it, but it was an okay read.

Amazing. This book what sooo good I could not put it down

Broken by Dean Murray. Although I am a huge fan of paranormal fiction, Mr. Murray has written the absolute best novel in regards to the world of shape shifters, etc that I have read in a very long time!! The plot was very believable as well as the storyline between Adriana and the rest of the characters involved.!!!

So boring. Adriana is a horrible self absorbed character and the first 200 pages it talks about is school work and how much she can’t stand the only person who was nice to her and helped her Brittany. There is nothing exciting happening what a let down

Good read. Love all things wolves. A different take than most.

Awesome. I love broken! I wish I could get the other three books!

Breakable. It was a great book that had a lot of big words they didn't make sense other than that it was well written

Great read!!. Dean Murray does an excellent job of relating a story of shape-shifters in a time where werewolves have become cheesy and stale. Although it does follow the same storyline of many others: high school misfit befriends more than what she bargains for, the book quickly delves deeper into the characters. This is not a shallow teen romance; the characters and the storyline are timeless. Great read!

Great book couldn't put it down. The characters are well thought out and the story line pulls you in. Leaves you wondering what will happen and needing the next book. Loved it

Ummm. I'm sorry but this was really pathetic. In the beginning I didn't know what to think of it, but all this stuff and the petty stupid high school assumptions were just terrible. Then when it couldn't get any worse, Dean Murray throws in werewolves. I recommend this book for low life beings just desperate for a read.

Broken. Very good book. I loved the 1 st in this series and this book is the second. Will look forward to the third book. Hate cliff hangers so now have to buy last book.

She’s a bit annoying. That girl was self centered and I really hope the 2 book is better.

❤️❤️. Love it , best book yet that I have ever read ❤️❤️❤️ took me 6 hours to read , worth it !!

Broken. This book was amazing it made me cry but realize a lot of things

It took a lot to continue reading. I am sorry but this book was not worth the trouble. It was too slow pass and deranged on. The ending was too quick too. I am sorry but I cannot recommend. I only finished reading it to see if it eventually got better and. To see the ending, but it was not satisfactory at all. I am truly disappointed in this book and the author.

Best book ever. It was an amazing, inspiring book at is perfect for everyone interested in paranormal writings and romance. I recommend this book to everyone.

Really slow. I was nearly 200 pages into this book still waiting for some type of plot to develop. Around the middle of the book I finally figured out the plot. It's another attempt to copy the Twilight story. I wish authors would stop trying to rip off someone else's story. I didn't bother to read the rest. It's already a boring plotless story, but compared to Twilight it's even more disappointing.

Nothing like twilight. Like so many reviews comparing this book to twilight I was put off at the concept... Loving twilight I didn't want to read someone's copycat version.. This is a very compelling story but the author could have cut 1/3 of this book with the manusha of day to day high school drama that Had little to to with the building up to the real story.. The last part of the book is where you really get what the story is about and I'm hoping the sequels don't go like this one did...

Broken. This book was an amazing read. This book takes you to that exact place that it wants you to be and you can see the scene happening as you the story. This book is definitely one of my favorites

Amazing!!!. One of the best books I've ever read! I can't wait to read the other 2 books!

Good book. I couldn't wait to come read this book, it's by far one of the best books I've ever read😊

Not good read. I found the first 3/4 of the book to be painful to read. I found myself skipping pages trying to find something to grab my attention. The last part of the book was interesting but everything leading up to it was scattered and uninteresting. Needed to get to the meat of the story a whole lot faster.

Great book. Such a good book, definitely recommend.

Slow. The book is really slow with nothing happening for ages and then leaps to a very unsatisfactory conclusion. Don't recommend, found it hard to read due to the pace. Shame, it could have been good.

Poor. Not only were there some blatant twilight rip offs in there, the world the main character is put into is extremely poorly explained.

Broken. I seriously never thought I would have enjoyed this story as much as I did. This is the first story I've read that involves shape shifters but I loved it and felt so gutted once I realised that I was nearly at the end of the story. I've really got attached to the characters in the story, especially Alec. I also read it so fast because I was so eager to find out what happened next. Great story and I love dean Murray for being such a great writer! I'm even more excited to read the next of the series for Adri and Alec :D Not a lot of people I know are interested in reading but I'd seriously encourage everybody to begin reading Broken and il know that once they start reading that they will feel drawn into it!

Broken. Brilliant story,, not my usual read but couldn't put it down once I started,,totally captivated!! Now for torn..

Good. I really liked this book. The only criticism I will give is the pace of which Alec and Adriana fall in love. She goes out with Brandon on a Friday, thinks she loves him, and then over the weekend is suddenly in love with Alec. That bit was terribly fast but other than that the story was amazing. 😊

Broken. This book is the best book I have ever read I loved every single bit of it I'm lost for words I can't explain how much I love this book I can't wait till I read the rest of them I'm only 13 but I can't believe how good it is.

Excellent book.. I only planned on reading for about half an hour when I started reading this book and the next thing I knew three hours had passed! A great book to get lost in. I am now eagerly awaiting the sequel 'splintered' to be available on iTunes. I was battling sleep until 4am this morning so i could keep reading, I was so hooked! The first thing I did when I woke was grab my iPhone and jump back in where I left off. If you like Twilight, you'll love this.

Good book. But the ending sort of came out of nowhere and ended in a weird way. Also how can you go from loving one boy one second and another by the time I've turned a page. Otherwise it's really good. Really emotional when she remembers her dad and sister. And overall kept me hooked. Would recommend

Nothing happens. Nothing happens at all the same dribble until you get to 61% and it’s then still “we can’t tell you” it’s like hurry up it shouldn’t take this long to find out some small peace of information.

really good. I really enjoyed this book. I kept wanting to read on and find out what would happen at the end. I do recommend this book!

Broken. Loved this book, but didn't realise there was a 'reflections' book to go with it. I am now just starting Torn, which slots together the missing pieces at the beginning of this book. They must be read together to fully appreciate what's happening in both books. Brilliant read would definitely recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Broken :- BORING. I found this book to be terribly boring that I only managed to get half way and that was with determination to try and finish it if you are having a hard time trying to get to sleep buy this book will help good luck to all the people who think this book is a good source of entertainment and FYI this is nothing like twilight.

Love it!. I wanted to read it 24/7 but couldn't!

Omg. I loved these books!!!!

Hooked!. This book is incredible from the second I started reading it I didn't want to put it down I love reading books like that. Finding out Adri's story kept me hooked!!

ᎳᎾᎳ. Wow it is the best book I've ever read. I defiantly L❤VED this amazing book! I wish there was another like after it😄 Not like 'torn' but one after that 😜😝😜😍😘😍😘 if it was out of 1000000000 I would give it 100000000000000❕❕❕ you must read this astonishing book!

Disappointed. This book is very slow for most of the read. The author doesn't give you enough to keep your interest. Then when things get interesting Adri's personality changes. No continuity.

Good but....... This book is good but... I think the author uses the word "several" too much. When ever theres an awkward silence, apparently it went for several seconds. Its a good book but i just think the author could expand on his number usage. Give seven a break

Broken. This book was great, I was so glad I came across this book...defiantly worth reading.

Loved it. I loved this book. It was great n adventurous. MUST read. Recommended for all ages

Oh wowowowowowowow. It is A-MA-ZING. Best book I have read in ages I love it!!!!!!!! I only wish I could rate it more than five stars. I recommend this to girls aged 12 and up 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanx. I loved this book but I found the story that Alec is telling but I can not find the follow on (something like the second book).

Broken. Warning: addictive!! Loved it

Broken. This is an awesome book!!!

Broken. I loved this book! I could not put it down. I am now downloading the next book Torn.

Broken. I really disliked this book. The plot was difficult to follow, half of the events went unexplained and I found it really hard to stay interested because it starts off very slow.

Book order. This has got to be one of my favorite series I have ever read. The book order is a bit confusing thought so here is the order I recommend reading them in… 1&2- Broken orTorn (broken and torn are two halfs to the same story) 3-Splintered 4-Forsaken (these two are the next books in the main story line) NEW (there should be a new book coming out for the main story line in April or May 2013) 5,6,7-Intrusion or Trapped or Sent of tears ( these 3 books all tell the stories of different characters who aren't focused on during the novel but can help you understand the world of the author more)

Broken. Wow!! This was an amazing book!! I loved it, so much action but kinda sweet at the same time. I think this is a great book for roadtrips

Broken. SPOILERS!! (Sort of!) I didn't love this book. I felt like it was two totally different books. You can't have a 300 pages of buildup and only have 200 w. a different plot. I thought Adri was irritating and her personality changed. I liked the pack dynamic. I didn't link how Adri went from loving Alec to hating him in a matter of pages. Not a great book, but it was ok.

Good book. This a great opening book and lays the foundation to what is to come with the rest of the series.

A Must Read. I loved this book! I may be young, but I understood and it just gave me shivers. Entirely unrealistic, but that's what makes it great!

Rip off of twilight!!. Although this book has a few unique qualities to it, the majority contains too many parallels to twilight to fully deem it totally compelling.

Amazing. So fantastic, I loved the characters, really well written!!!

Nice. The book was amazing. Alec reminds me a bit of edward.

Perfect. Amazing! I never expected a free book to be this amazing! I couldn't put this book down

Wonderful!. That was exciting! I wasn't quite expecting what would turn out with Brandon especially when Alec kept popping up. It got me squealing and giggling through it all! And wanting more action and excitement between Alec and Adri. I'm so looking forward on getting my 'paws' on Splintered! :))

good read !. really liked this book ! i enjoyed reading it , it flowed most of the time ! i do have to say that at times, the chapters seem not to flow as they jump from idea to idea, and you feel as if something is missing . also, at times i feel that some questions were unanswered . but besides this , i found this book an easy read and very enjoyable !

amazing. this book was so intriguing and the use of words was great. definitely one of the best books i've read

Great. This book is great

Too Clogged Up and Sloppy. I spoke to an author the other day about what an editor does and while I'm reading this it just becomes so evident how valuable they are: editors clean things up, they help you get your point across without the author using too much description or detail that in all honestly doesn't matter to the reader. The amount of grammar mishaps is disappointing and sentences are confusing and awkward at times. Also, the story proceeds so slowly in the beginning and then all of the sudden jumps and the main character is suddenly in love with a man she thought she hated. The characters very closely resemble Twilight's characters specifically Edward, and this demeanor was boring and predictable as readers have already encountered it. The story line and idea is good and I think if the author had help it could have been a great book but it was just too clogged up and sloppy.

Drags. I was excited to start but I couldnt make it to the fourth chapter it was really boring and drags and the girl really has no personality. UnEnchanted is way better. This is just my personal opinion I don't like this book but don't hate me I just don't care for it :)

Broken. Outstandingly amazing!
