We vowed to escape together. I broke that promise. Now the men I loved just might break me.

There were six of us. Caged, turned into monsters, and tormented with brutal tests of our horrific emerging abilities.

We had only each other to count on... until our escape attempt ended with one dead, the others recaptured, and me dragged away into a different nightmare.

Now I've finally fought my way back to rescue them. Except the men I set free are hardened, beastly versions of the devoted boys I remember.

They see me as a traitor and a murderer—but they refuse to let me go now that they have me back.

They have no idea that the greatest threat may be the new darkness that’s woken up inside me.

I don’t know how to control it. And if these men break me, I could destroy us all.

*Shattered Vow is the first in a thrilling urban fantasy series for those who love savagely possessive men and fierce heroines who'll fight for what's theirs.*

Perfect for fans of morally grey possessive men, tough heroines, friends to enemies to lovers romance with plenty of groveling, forced proximity, dark supernatural powers, bond marks, found family, and all the plot twists.

Once again Eva Chase has absolutely wowed me with a first in series book. This one starts with a lot of action and drama (although she has revealed in her facebook group that she actually toned it down a bit in the final version). Riva isn't the best of her female leads, I find her insecure without reason and that plays into her relationships with her guys.

There is so much DRAMA - I mean this in a good way, it's really fast paced.

I will say that for my liking, given the way the guys have behaved, they haven't grovelled nearly enough. This book does end on a cliffhanger

Wow

When I finished this book, I felt like I'd just finished watching an awarding show that deserved a standing ovation!!! Even wiped away a tear 😳

This story starter strong, a little dark, intense and ended with even stronger, darker, and so intense I forgot to breathe!
I don't know how Eva Chase does it, but she built a world and characters so fast that I knew I was hooked after a few chapters.

The plot is full of survival, action, need, and betrayal. Given that the characters were brought up in a prison type home, torture hospital. I am not surprised with how mentally dark it is. I hate how she's bullied by the ones she loves. But that does not mean it deserves less praise. It just makes it realistic. After all, these are not people who grew up in a social environment that developed their emotions enough to not handle betrayal in a logical way...then again who does handle betrayal in a logical way. Betrayal is a stab in the heart that bleeds with no access to a med kit. These guys grew up as a small isolated, daily abused pack, hence the darkness. Not only that, but they have no idea what they are. They fear themselves, and their only anchor is each other.
So when one is gone and the other disappears, they believe their touture guardians lie.
That is their mistake, they should have known she would never betray them, and there is the backlash betrayal.

They hurt and treat her so badly, even though she is clearly trying to take it, and she tells herself soon it will change. They will realise she has only tried to love them, even with the distrust and posion they throw at her. But, they go too far. They push her and twist her, and she breaks.
I cried when she broke, and boy did she break!
I was so pissed off on her behalf and wanted them to grovel and pay. But noy much of that in this book...who knows, there is more to the story in two more books. Maybe they atone enough to make up for what they did....Wait, that sounds like the ending left me open and frustrated. Nope, the author gave me a taste of satisfaction, enough delicious comeuppance to leave me satisfied till the next book.

Oh, and there is a hot steamy moment. But the author manages to also make it tender as well.

So wow and onto the next book!!

Really enjoyed this story so far. The end is left on such a cliffhanger and you will just be waiting for the second book. Great storyline different from other stories, only thing that I could do without is her friends with benefits with all the lads, but that is a personal choice and does not take too much away from the otherwise great storyline

Excellent start to a series

Having devoured the previous books Eva has written about the Shadow Kind I was intrigued to read this new series about Riva and her best friends who are Shadow Bloods. This first book is a real emotional rollercoaster telling how Riva and her guys were brought up together but then separated for years after a failed escape attempt which resulted in the death of one of the guys. Riva is forced to exist alone, the only time she leaves her prison cell is to fight in vicious cage fights. The thought of escape and getting back to her guys is all that keeps her going and she dreams of a time when everything between her guys and the guys can go back to how it was before their escape attempt.

The Shadowblood were created by experimentation using human and Shadow Kind DNA Riva and the guys just want to be normal and live free, they hate their differences and would love to have them taken away but is that going to be possible?

The story had me gripped from beginning to end and took me on a rollercoaster ride where every emotion was evoked by what they must face. Who can be trusted? Will they ever be free? The book ended on a cliffhanger meaning we have to wait for the next book to find any answers.

The narration is brilliantly performed by Amber Lee Connors and Adam Gold, they brought the story to life and made every emotion felt.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.
