Shattered is Book 2 in the Desire Series
The main theme in this book is the start of the war between The Magical Ones ( genies who at one time were enslaved, and now turned rogue or basically have a lust for power). The residents of Arcadia , who for the most part have no idea or ideals of magic. Last but not least genies, who are trying to rescue the innocent and bring justice to the guilty.
Kama , has been involved in a love triangle , she is still in love with Liam and has attraction to Torri...more

Kama’s perfect world is literally shattering all around her. Chunks of the atmosphere/ dome are raining down. The “perfect” world of Arcadia is coming undone. Liam’s father, Governor Pim, has used Magical Ones, djinn/genies, to create a utopia world.
Dr. Sanz has imprisoned Kama, and Liam tries to get her out. When outside, a genie flies her out of Arcadia when he learns that General Adar is her father and turns out to be Prince Rodin, Torrid’s brother. While she’s in the land of her father, Torr...more

I LOVE KAILIN GOW AS AN AUTHOR AND I REALLY ENJOYED DESIRE! I'm pretty sure I own like 95% of her books <3
Once again, Gow has issues with making the way people speak believable. Even harder to come to terms with is the fact that she will resolve one "problem" just for it to pop up again in later chapters, with no explanation as to how the problem reappeared. Also, I have serious issue with using 3 terms for one type of being...especially when describing who is battling whom. There are times when it takes some real thinking to figure out who is "good" and who is "evil," with no real help from the aut...more

The cover for this book much like the second one, if gorgeous. I love everything about it. It is very eye catching and sort of just draws you in.
So needless to say after reading the first book in the series and hoping that this would be a series that would get better over time and truly thinking the series has potential, I was excited to read the second book, especially after having read the novella that came in between these two which really was quite good, even better than the first...more

As I have said before this series gets better with each book... But I am a little disappointed because after I finished it I downloaded # 3, the ending in the epilogue of 2 was slightly different than the beginning of 3, then I realized that #3 was only 152 page.... Why didnt they just release 1 and 1.5 as one book and 2 and 3 as part two, oh yeah money hungry that's it!!!!!

I really enjoyed both Desire and Shattered but it really bugs me that Kama's father's name is changed from Gereral Adon in Desire to General Adar in Shattered. Maybe I'm the only one who noticed but I couldn't get past it at certain times.
The only thing that annoyed the chiz outta me was when Kama was training with Torrid she did sooo well and tested by the best fighters, Torrid and his brother...... But.... When faced with a real threat she's crap, totally lame.
Excellent storyline.
A perfect world shatters.
A war of the world rages between djinn and humans.
Kama is one half of each.
Kama is set to rule the new world once it comes to be.

The story line on this book is good, but there were enough small grammatical errors that took away from the flow of the story.
the series just got better and I instantly needed to buy the next book.
Pointless novella. make it a novel- there's the story.
Can't even finish it. Terrible
This was so good, I really liked it. If you like the Matched series, this is a good series to try.
I had a hard time with this one, the first one I really loved but this one was missing something. I really like the characters and Kailin Gow has beautiful prose. This one felt a little rushed. I still want to read the third, just a little let down about this one. I do love the cover for this book almost as much as the first.
More please, ready for Passions anyone know the exact release date???
