I totally loved this book. This author is amazing in telling her story. I can not wait to start part 2. I highly recommend this to everyone
I enjoyed this book, it was good to get more details bout how the Guild works and their links to the vampires. Ashryn learns a few things that turn her world upside down and she spends lot of time re-evaluating what she thought she knew.
There was a lot of internal conversations for Ashlyn as she worked through everything she discovered along with her growing feelings about the boys. A big Chung of this book is about Ashryn and Bram which was lovely to see how their relationship develops.
Broken Illusions is the second book of the Ashryn Barker Trilogy and it was great! The book starts off where we left off in the first book with Ashryn & Bram on the run from the vampire hunters. In this book Ashryn is struggling with her past with the Guild and what she has done on their behalf. Bram and Ashryn relationship grows stronger and she is confused about her attractions to the men helping her Bram, Dimitri, Remus and Eric. This is an exciting fast paced short reverse harem. Excited to read the next book! 4.5 Stars
To fully understand this first book in what I hope will be a long series, you need to read the book one, Shattered Illusions. It’s short and free and gives the backstory about how the heroine of this series, Ashryn, was turned from vampire hunter to vampire as well as her first days in this shocking new role. It is a quick read, but I imagine readers would be lost in this book without it.
Ashryn is a fun narrator to follow around. The way her mind works is a delight to watch. She’s sassy, sarcastic, and is out of her depth at times dealing with her thoughts and emotions about her new circumstance. In this book, she and another vampire–one who was most displeased that she was turned because of her past profession–are forced to rely on each other during a mission to her old guild. Will they survive this? Will his hate soften? Just what does the future have in store for them?
If you’re familiar with the Seven Wardens series by Skye MacKinnon, you might find similarities between that series and the start of this one–except that this one’s about vampires and that one was about mythical Scottish creatures. I sense a similarity in the strength of the heroines, the relatively short but dramatic story, and the intriguing men that both seem to gather to them.
The book had the common issues with grammar, punctuation, and usage that seem to afflict most books these days, but I wasn’t particularly distracted as I genuinely did enjoy watching the events of the story unfold and the turn of Ashryn’s mind.
I look forward to the continued adventures of Ashryn and her new cohort.

Ashryn Barker was a vampire hunter, until something went very wrong and she became the thing she used to hunt. Now she’s running through a forest, on her first mission, with a man who hates her – despite the protective looks Bram keeps giving her since they escaped. With sunrise quickly coming, they don’t have many options.
Now being one of the vampires, Ashryn is finding out disturbing things about the Vampire Hunter Guild and seeing things in a new perspective. She is also learning how to get along with her vampire team of Remus, Bram, Eric and Dimitri.
I liked the humor in this book that made it a fun, enjoyable read. The characters are well defined and likable, familiar in some cases since this is the second book in the Trilogy. The twists and turns keep things exciting and the reader will love the surprises along the way! Definitely recommended!
Broken Illusions: A Paranormal Reverse Harem by Laura Greenwood is a wonderful story to read. This is book number two in the is wonderful series that I love to read.

This is the second book in the Ashryn Barker Trilogy and just as engaging as the 1st. We pick up where we left off in the prior book and begin learning more about the Guild and a better understanding of the vampires, where were sworn enemies. Ashryn matures thru this book, becoming her own person, and embracing her new enhanced abilities.
This book kept my attention and desperate to uncover the secrets held by the Guild. Would definitely recommend this trilogy and look forward to the final book in the series.

The second installment Ashryn Barker trilogy is no disappointment!
This not only allows you to see the thinking process of Ashryn and her accepting becoming a vampire, but reveals a different side of Bram and Remus.
This is a wonderful, fast paced read with incredible characters.

Our heroine has now become one of the things she hunted.
This is book two in the series and it picks up where book one left off. While each book tends to contain a complete “mission” if you will, here it is rather important that you understand how she got where she is now. I definitely recommend reading these stories in order.
I have to admit that I got off to a rough start with this series, finding the heroine a little immature and flighty in the first book. But I have gotten over it and am really enjoying the story and the characters now. We continue to get more details on the world, the characters and the conflicts and it has made the entirety much more engaging to me. I found I had a hard time putting this one down and moved straight on to the next.
Very well written and easy to read, I highly recommend this book and series.

Broken Illusions – Ashryn’s knowledge of the world around her is questioned further in this book. She also learns more about her life now and the people she shares it with. Book 2 is just as entertaining as book 1 with the characters developing further.
The Ashryn Barker series is a fantastic series. In this book Ashryn is accepting her new reality and the men there to help her along the way. Everything is not what it seems, either. Secrets in the Guild and in the vampire camp are a constant worry. With her power, she does have a bit of an advantage. I loved the way she got Bram to talk to her while they were hiding from the hunters. It did wonders for his attitude towards her. Just when she thinks she’s learned the truth about all the lies she had been taught from 6 years old, she learns something new. Her whole world is not what she thought, but she has four vampires ready and willing to help her cope. I will have a hard time waiting on the next book. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
This was even better than book one and I really enjoyed book one. The characters goes even better and again the action is non stop, I seriously need to read book three!

Book two of the Ashryn Barker trilogy and things are really getting good now. Ashryn is sent on her fist mission as a vampire. The catch is it is with a vamp that hates as well as being the headquarters of the hunters. What follows is almost surreal as Ashryn tries to figure what is really going on between the two groups, who she can really trust, and what road her love life will be taking. It is almost too much for the poor girl. Again I laughed, shook my head, and rooted Ashryn on as the story unfolded. The finale is going to be great. I really enjoyed it so I give it 4/5 stars.
This is the second book in the Ashryn Barker series and boy oh boy there are soo many questions that I have that I hope the next book will answer. This book actually allows us to get to know about Ashryn on a deeper level and understand a little bit on why she is the way she is. With plenty of action and a little bit of romance mixed in we are starting to see just how complicated Ashryn’s life is
I love that we get to learn more about Bram and get to see and Ashlyn get closer. I wasn’t sure about him after Book 1 🙂 Ashtyn rocks – i like her snarkiness and strength. She is starting to question even more what she has been told her whole life. There are some revelations that shocked me about the Guild. I can’t wait to find out what happens next.
