Shattered (Bitter Creek)

Overall Rating: -5.00

Never, Never, Never have I picked up a book that was so disappointing that I literally cried at what the author had done.

Having just spent the past couple of months doing re-reads of Joan Johnston's books to "remember" what happened to all the characters leading up to Kate and Jack's story, it was finally time to pick up Jack and Kate's book, Shattered, the eighth book in The Bitter Creek Series. To say I was devastated was an understatement.

When Kate had sex with Wyatt the first time, I kept thinking, No, No, No, No. Please, Joan, don't do this! I struggled to keep reading and made it to page 192 before finally putting this book down. I couldn't keep reading this book.

And Joan Johnston got crossed off my "Favorite show more Authors" list. I don't care how entertaining I find her books and her gift of telling a story . . . to make us fall in love with Jack and Kate and to wait and wait and wait for their happily-ever-after and to split them up! It's Unforgivable!

I refused to keep reading as Johnston kept trying to make Wyatt and Holly worthy "happily-ever-afters" to Jack and Kate. If Jack and Kate weren't going to end up together -- the book just wasn't worth reading. show less

This book is the eighth book in the 'Bitter Creek' series by Joan Johnson. I have to be honest though, I got lost numerous times, because I haven't read the previous books and because there was just a ton going on, it was hard to keep up with it all. The characters are strong and intricate, they intertwine so well, you have no idea where they will end up and with whom. The plot is fast paced and the author keeps you on your toes with a ton of action and suspense. If you know the series and the author already than I am sure this book will be awesome to you, otherwise read the rest of the series before this one...but be prepared for a wild ride.
