Briana sure does know how to write a fantastic story full of drama, action, love, hate, darkness, light, humour and so much more. I even shed a few tears near the end.
I loved Rowan and reading her journey into discovering who she is. Looking forward to reading the next book to see what trouble is brewing next!

Shatter (Sins of the Sidhe Book 1): "Sins of the Sidhe – Briana Michaels
Shatter - Book 1
Wow, this author has quickly become a favourite with me. This I believe, is her very first foray into the literary world as a published writer. And what a debut!
We first meet our FMC, Rowan as she prepares for a girlie day out with her two besties. Rowan has a dark secret. She is a soul seer and has been sort out by dark spirits since she was a small child. Rowan struggles with this side of herself as she does not fully understand what it is or where it came from.
Our male lead is a Druid (think Highlander meets Braveheart) named Devlin who is a beautiful and tall drink of water. When Devlin meets Rowan, the attraction is instant and the heat combustive! These two were destined to be joined to in a way that will bring the fated end to Devlin’s and the Fae world’s long time enemy, Lorcan.
Lorcan, a seriously dark Sidhe, has plagued Rowan’s unconscious mind for years. His sultry journeys into her dreams have always left her feeling emotionally wrung out yet connected to him in a very exotically dark way. This leaves Rowan extremely vulnerable to his mind games, as she cannot resist his sensual pull.
Rowan and Devlin, aided by Adam, a legendary Sidhe warrior who has his own history with the Lord of Darkness Lorcan, and Ava, part Sidhe/part Angel who has a timely knack for Divine Intervention, embark on a journey of dangerous missions and sometimes even more dangerous self-discovery as they search for ways to destroy Lorcan.
The one-liners and pop-culture references kept me smiling through the entire journey. The lead couple were romantic and volatile in a way that kept me guessing which direction their next scene would take. The steam in some of their more intimate scenes left me fanning myself *phew*
The character development and world building are substantial for the author’s first effort. I expect that as I progress through this series, I will see not only the further development of the plot and characters, but the growth of the author as she further hones her craft.
Can’t wait to read the next instalment in this series – Book 2, Shine!
Four stars for this stellar debut!

Fantasy, Fae, Romance, & a Brilliant Story All in One!!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017Verified Purchase
I LOVED this book. If you like fantasy, fae, paranormal, or an excellently written combination of the above, this book is for you.
I don't know where to start. First, I ADORED the main character Rowan. She's a snarky, feisty, powerful, take life by the balls kind of girl and it made the story so much better because she was a SUPER strong heroine. Kudos to the author. Very well done. I love a strong female lead, even with her own weaknesses, and Rowan did not disappoint.
Second, the story was full of action, drama, love, anger, hate, joy, humor, revenge, light, darkness, and drew me in almost from the first sentence. The story is well paced, filled with twists and turns, and I love that the different points of view were so seamless in transition that I never lost sight of who was taking the forefront. So many wonderful characters that were rich, full of depth, and well written.
Third, the writing is flawless. I felt immersed in the world created and I loved the perfectly executed scenes woven throughout the book, from love and lust, to the final battle cry, and everything in between. Such an excellent depth of rich explanation, I truly enjoyed this novel and the journey of the heroine all the way up to the final sentence.
Lastly, I am a romance fan and this book did not disappoint. Personally I like a good sex scene, especially when its been built up between the characters and this was certainly done well in addition to everything else. I have to say, I'm a bit of fan of Outlander, so a highlander with his accent? Swoon. Won me over instantly.
My only question: where the heck was Eve and what happened to her?
I'm excited to continue this series and read the continuation of these characters. An excellent 5 STAR read. Don't miss it. And I really have no idea how every review is not a 5 star for this one. Seriously, if you read it, how could you give it less? At any rate, this is one I'll go back to and reread and I don't say that often. A refreshing new author with a lot of talent, be sure to set some time aside because you won't want to put it down until finished. I read it in less than a day. Enjoy the wild ride, it's a guaranteed pleasurable one!

My brain is fried in trying to process and re-process this awesome book
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2016Verified Purchase
I wasn’t exactly sure if the book I was reading was the same book that I read about in its description, because it was so much more. Our heroine, Rowan, has special supernatural abilities. As a teenager, she thought she was losing her gift, so in desperation she performed an action that accidentally set forth a dark evil into the world. Year later, people have come to her looking for her help in setting things right. And that’s about all I’m going to say about the plot, because you have to read the book. It was basically everything I wanted in a great read: fae, mystery, darkness, romance (of the very hot and steamy variety), relationship struggles, humor, frustration. I couldn’t put the book down, I needed to know what was going to happen, while having thoughts like “damn it, no!”, “please don’t let this really be happening”, and “awwww...”. There were so many surprises; just when you thought your brain could handle it – no! The author throws in a twist that makes you internally (or maybe externally) scream with frustration, because the story is just so good. My feelings about Shatter are much more eloquent when I’m thinking it, but my review is kind of a jumbled mess because my brain is fried in trying to process and re-process this awesome book. A must read book and series!

A fascinating new voice in the fantasy genre
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2016Verified Purchase
I am a real fan of fantasy fiction and I love to discover new authors. A friend recommended Shatter and I find that I enjoyed discovering another new voice in the genre. Her character Rowan is one of my favorites. I watched her grow from a somewhat timid young woman into a real powerhouse female! If you like torrid romance, too, this will have your vote! I gave 4 stars because I think I would like to see more character development of some of the secondary characters who do had spice to the mix. All in all, though, a fine first effort! Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
