A Fractured Light

by Jocelyn Davies

When she wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings, Skye knows something terrible has happened to her. But it's not until she hears Asher, the dark, rebellious angel she fell in love with, that the memories of Devin and his shocking betrayal come flooding back. Skye returns home, but with the knowledge of who she really is, nothing can ever be the same. As she tests the limits of her newfound powers, Skye discovers that she's capable of far more than anyone could have imagined. Both the Order and the Rebellion want her for their side as war between the factions looms. She can't forgive the Order for nearly killing her, but something holds her back from embracing the Rebellion. A Fractured Light picks up right after A Beautiful Dark's shocking cliffhanger ending and is perfect for fans of Lauren Kate's Fallen and Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush saga.

Jocelyn Davies pens a beautifully written sequel to A Beautiful Dark. A Fractured Light picks right up where the story left off at the end of, A Beautiful Dark. Many intriguing revelations are brought to light, as the fight against light and dark, good and evil, rages even brighter and bigger than before. The character growth and development is stunning, as Davies delves deeper into the story embarking readers on an epic journey through the wonderful mythology she's created. There is so much to discover about the "rogues" and the mythology surrounding them.

The twists and turns in this novel will leave readers breathless, dripping with anticipation, and craving more. There are wonderful moments where Davies explains more about The Order and The Rebellion that makes the story more interesting and will definitely capture their attention. It is an incredibly captivating and satisfying read, that sets the stage perfectly for the next book in the series. The love triangle will have readers heads spinning. It's hard to decide who is better suited for Skye, Asher or Devin?

The plot twist involving Devin is probably the best part of the novel, in my personal opinion. It pretty much levels out the playing field and presents Skye with an interesting choice to make. What this novel lacks for in action, it more than makes up for in wonderful character development, intriguing revelations brought to light, and brilliant world building. The imagery is probably one of the most gorgeous things about this book, there were passages within the pages that are easy to get lost within from the sheer beauty of Jocelyn Davies writing style.

A Fractured Light leaves off with a beautiful cliffhanger, that will have readers on the edge of their seats anticipating the next book in this amazing series. It is not a book to be missed out on.
