Splintered Souls (Flames of Time #1)

I received a copy of this book from Red Adept Publishing, LLC via NG in return for an honest review. Rating- 2.5 Okay, this review will be blunt and honest. First of all, i don't think the blurb accurately portrayed what we were diving into- with this book. I say this because 1. I got the mother of all love triangles and 2. the love triangle includes one girl two brothers. Did the blurb mention that? No. Am I slightly annoyed? Yes, i hate love triangles and love triangles with brothers involved, is death to my soul. So from this point, I'll do a reiteration of what the blurb is actually about.

Lady Catherine Fairchild was desperate and very pregnant. In her desperation she makes a deal with a witch, but magic always comes with a price. Her idea was for her baby to find his love - his soul mate, what she didn't count on, was the fact that she was carrying two babes and in the midst of this conflict, their souls are forever bound to love the same woman. Splintered souls they call it and they must travel through time to find her and fight each other for her love.

THERE! THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO! You know when I started this book I actually really liked it. It was good, fascinating, new and who doesn't like the idea of soul mates? See everything was nice and dandy, especially when a good looking boy on a motorbike makes an appearance... but then the story (to me) was thrown out of whack and i just stared at my screen internally screaming. "The draw I'd felt toward Laith all day shifted, and suddenly, my soul yearned for Maddox." WHY!? WHY A LOVE TRIANGLE WITH BROTHERS INVOLVED!? JUST WHY? And this one was freaking confusing as all heck! This annoys me a great deal, because Erica Dean has an awesome writing style and this story was flowing like a freaking waterfall and then i hit the rapids and i drowned. I went from being intrigued to liking it, to then rage my way through it. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad story, not a bad plot either and the writing is nice. It simply wasn't for me but have a go and see how you like it! I'm going to leave it there and let you make up your mind, but for me we weren't sympatico. Stay awesome! -The Book Herald tweet me @thebookherald
