Tattered Stars

This was my first time reading a book by Catherine Cowles and I was really impressed!

It's safe to say that I will very likely enjoy any book which is set in a small, rural, mountain town with a strong community and families for our main characters. I just eat these types of books up and this is exactly what we got here.

It was actually a bit deeper and darker than I originally expected, with the history surrounding Everly's father kidnapping Hayes' younger sister in the past, as well as Everly's awful family and the abuse described.

On a lighter side, I loved that Everly's dream was to create an animal sanctuary on her inherited land and really liked how this helped Shiloh find her place again.

My only critique is that some of the dialogue felt a bit repetitive by the end and there was a couple of odd wording choices which stuck out to me, but all in all I really enjoyed it and will definitely be continuing on in the series.
