Tattered Stars is the first book in the Tattered and Torn series by Catherine Cowles. I am going to start off by saying that I thought I couldn't love Catherine Cowles books any more than I did in the Wrecked Series, but this is my new favorite book she has written, and I cannot wait to see what else this series has in store!
Tattered Stars is about Everly Kemper (who we had kind of met in Reckless Refuge) and Hayes Easton. Everly is back in Wolf Gap, Oregon after a terrible event that not only changed her life but Hayes and his family's as well. At first Hayes is livid that she is back in town because of who her family is and all the memories she brings up. However, his family puts him in his place regarding how they feel about her and want to help her in any way they can just as she had at such a young age.
This book is not an insta love they go from animosity to friends to lovers throughout the book and its done at such a great pace. Everly has a backbone and is not a doormat, she is strong and brave and will stand up for herself as well as the people she cares about; she will also throw a punch if needed. Her family is a complicated thing when it comes to how she feels; she won't be caught with them (for obvious reasons) but also won't throw them under the bus; as much as I loathe her family, I feel like that part is so realistic. Even toxic family still has a place in your heart even if you want nothing to do with them. Hayes handles them so well, he is also so sweet and caring when it comes to Everly but also overbearing and broody when he is worried, its so swoony throughout the book know how much she is loved by this man.
The relationship she develops with not only Hayes but the rest of the Eastons is the family she always deserved. I do wish there was some scenes with her sister checking up on her after everything she had gone through especially with her uncle and brother. I do love that the next book involves Hadley and the person targeting her is already trying to get her. I also love that the dynamic between Hadley and her mother is already established so that when they do have a heart to heart it will be so much more special knowing how far they have come. I also hope Addy and Shiloh will get their happily ever after!
I am so excited to see what the rest of this series has instore!
I also got the amazing opportunity to not only read this book but get an ARC of the Audible as well. And the way these voice actors portray and show the emotion that these characters are feeling is so so wonderful. they really brought these characters to life and made you feel the emotions that everyone in this book were feeling.
ARC exchanged for honest review
