My Thoughts: Broken Shadows by Sorrel Pitts is a psychological thriller and is written from two points of view. Pitts writing is very emotional and gets to the heart of how people are feeling. I really enjoyed the main protagonists, Tom and Anna, of which the story is told from. Both trying to get answers about the past and trying to make sense of it. And although they are both flawed in different ways, and they come from different backgrounds they had similarities and a great connection. The way Pitts described their insecurities made me feel their pain. The romance was an added bonus in the book.
Pitt had the ability to keep me intrigued and guessing while she unfolded the past which meant I did not want to put the book down. Her ability to describe places, people and feelings made me feel as if I was a bystander in the story looking on.
For me this was a book with raw emotion that was an absolute page turner and was beautifully and sensitively written, the way it was crafted focussing on the effects, trauma has had on lives and the fall out from that made this a book one I highly recommend and one that deserves every one of its five stars.
