“OMG, it’s addictive! This series gets better with each book, taking you deeper into a reality you never imagined, with dangers and passions as powerful and dark as a storm. Dive in and get lost!” Candid book Reviews “Perhaps my biggest sin was that my faith in Cord was so uncompromising and complete, I didn’t try and see him for who he was, but kept the fantasy of who I wanted him to be in place … him to be in place to mask the truth. And where did that get me? With a husband who’s run off on some reckless quest, a woman who claims she’s his lover and government agents who claim Cord is responsible for missing spent-nuclear-fuel. I’d say, at the moment, I win the prize for whose life sucks the most. The question is, how do I put things back the way they were? ” Morgan Windwalker.
Take the first step in a journey that will take you on a trip you won’t soon forget in The Shattered Chronicles.

This definitely sheds a different light to Cotton Creek. It is action-packed, suspenseful, dangerous and drama-filled. It is engaging and the anticipation of what will happen next did keep me glued to the pages. It is a cliffhanger though which is really not my cup of tea and as their “perfect life” is drastically challenged I just wish their established relationship had felt more solid and heartfelt before all these shattering events. I am voluntarily reviewing a free copy provided by Candid Book Reviews.
Once again, Ciana Stone brings our attention back to Cotton Creek, Texas by introducing us to Morgan and Cord Alexander. The Alexanders live a wonderful life until one day, peace and harmony is replaced with chaos and fear. All of this occurs with one phone call which is the beginning of great change. Cord is seeking answers but only finds more questions…not the least of which is “who do you trust?”
Clearly, they have been dealt a blind hand that is full of complications which places their family, business and possibly the country in great danger. Yes, it’s a nail biter…and I loved every minute. Given a choice, I will always go for a stand alone story, even if it is part of a series but I am making an exception because the brief delay has me replaying all the action and possibilities of what is happening and Stone writes fast so I know I will exhale in the near future : )
If you are a fan of mystery/thrillers and don’t mind a cliffhanger, then this might be a perfect fit. It is for me. Oh, and one other thing, you may want to keep your chiropractor on speed dial, he can help you with the whiplash!
I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Personally, I really enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to the follow up book.
Learning after I started reading that this is in the same universe as another series explained a lot of things. While this can be read as a standalone, I feel like doing so will leave you with lots of questions, so keep that in mind.
Cord and Morgan are an enviable couple. True, deep love in a couple that has been together for a significant number of years. Cord’s work puts them into a series of bizarre situations that honestly I’m still trying to figure out how they just went home after and tried to move on from.
Pros: I like these characters. I like the development of their life and their world and the accompanying cast, particularly Joe and Myrtle. The deeper plot is intriguing, but this book barely skims what’s happening.
Cons: Without the perspective from the other series on these characters and their world, reading left me feeling a bit out of sorts. The underlying plot is hinted at but a bit confusing without this perspective as well.
Overall, a good read and I’d like to try it again after picking up the other series first!
Cord and Morgan have been married for like 20 years and they’re still very passionate about each other. I love that this is a mature couple and still passionate!!
Cord has been called away for business and Morgan doesn’t have a very good feeling about it. When she’s called to be with him the story gets very suspenseful. I like that Morgan holds her own be it a FBI agent or a woman that she doesn’t know.
Cord is being secretive and Morgan wants to know what is going on.
Ends on a cliffhanger and you just want to smack your kindle. lol Can’t wait for the next book!
Cord and Morgan
Now this book for me is a bit of a departure story wise. This couple is older and married for over twenty years with a strong relationship.
When trouble comes knocking at their door. They will be tested like nothing they have ever seen. Loyalties will be questioned, lies will be told, revenge is just option, and vanity will be ignored.
Oh let’s not forget murdered and double crossing will serve a purpose in this book.
Intrigue is the name of the game.
