This book was a little bit better than the first one since I was more into it. After being shot in the heart with an arrow in battle and brought back to life with dark magic, Keegan can no longer remember who her Chosen is. Rourk is heartbroken when he realized that she no longer even remembered who he was and the short time they spent together before the war. He tried to take her on a date but it was too awkward. He loved her with all his heart and she thought he was merely ‘cute’. It didn’t wo...more
Keegan is an elf. Elves meet their mate, called “chosen,” when they turn 18. Ever since Keegan was brought back to life by black magic, her bond to her chosen has been broken. This is very disturbing to Rourk, who has patiently waited for Keegan to turn 18, so they can begin their life together. Because of Keegan’s brother, Thaddeus and his gift, she knew who her chosen was and they actually met before they were supposed to. This was all before the Great War between the light and dark elves.

“This is not a laughing matter. Keegan every time I see you I feel like I am on an elevator that has dropped. I think about you all the time. Maybe fate has stepped in and broken the bond so we can be together..”
Conflicted the second novel of Keegan’s Chronicles was everything I wanted it to be, and oh so much more. Julia Crane is indeed a talented author that knows how to keep her readers attention, with her on the edge of your seat reads!

I am so sad! I really enjoyed the first book in this series, so what happened you ask? Well, I have to say that the characters were just very immature (17 going on 18) they were constantly acting like 5 year olds. Also, the writing went downhill for me, it seemed to drag out in places then fly through what could have been some really great parts. I totally love the basis for this series and while I had to make myself finish this one I will read the next because I really want to see what happens...more
Conflicted is the continuing story in the Keegan Chronicles, and I really enjoyed the character development in this one. It was great to see the characters shift and transform, and I could picture how everyone looked in my head while I read it. There was a cliffhanger aspect that carried over from the first novel to this one, and Julia did an excellent job of keeping the reader guessing until the end. I really enjoyed this book, and I look forward to more novels from this talented writer!
Fans of Book 1, "Coexist", know that Crane left us with a cliffhanger of an ending. In "Conflicted" the story continues where it left off and takes the reader's heart along for a wild ride. "Conflicted" is heartfelt and tense from beginning to end with the characteristic teenage drama and love we've come to associate with Crane's name. Fans of "Coexist" will NOT be let down by this second novel and for anyone who hasn't read the first - go now! Then come back and gobble up this one :)

Julia Crane did not disappoint in book 2 of her series, Keegan's Chronicles. This is an amazing book for both teens and adults. The characters are well developed and their relationships with each other are very real. We get to learn more about Anna in this book, which I love. Once again, I was hooked and couldn't put the book down. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and I can't wait for the 3rd book to come out!
With the lovely ending to bookie one this book takes off right where Coexist ended. Rourk be still my heart, "Embarrassed, Rourk answered," trying to figure out what to wear." It's good to know some men get nervous about a date just as much as women. Rourk is still smokin' with his good looks just as much if not more in this book, "his shirt was just tight enough to show off his defined chest. The sleeves looked a little snug, she tried not to stare as his muscled arms." I would stare I mean tha...more
Keegan and Rourk have lost their bond. I felt so bad for him! And I hated Keegan's attitude. Then I realized that would be how most teenage girls would act/react. Selfish and still dependent on their mothers, no matter how independent they want to be. I really enjoyed how her brother and friends were willing to help restore what was lost. Good character forming.
So, conflicted is a perfect title!!! I feel so CONFLICTED!! I loved Keegan in the first book, but with her "changes" I'm not sure I liked her now. I loved rourke in the first book, but really liked Donald in this one! I am still team rourke but now I kinda feel guilty about it :) I am now hooked with that cliff hanger to get book 3 in December
I became really invested in the characters! My heart broke for Roark at the end of the first book and just kept breaking throughout this one. Keegan and Donald were good friends and made a "nice" couple but she could be and feel so much more with Roark. I just wish she could see it!
I liked that Keegan had one more year with her friends. Sounded like the perfect Senior year with magical worlds to explore and best friends to make memories with. I'm also very proud of Roark. He grew up a lot and he...more

It's an interesting story with great potential. Unfortunately, it is full of grammatical errors, lacks appropriate deepth, and concentrates on the wrong details.
The storyline flowed seamlessly from book 1 to book 2. Through the war between the Light and Dark Keegan ends up paying the ultimate price and it must take Dark Magic in order to bring her back. But with that she pays with the loss of her bond with Rourk. With the bond being broke Keegan knows that Rourk is her mate but she doesn't have the same feelings anymore. So she starts dating Donald a shifter who has always been in love with Keegan. Everyone except for Donald wants the bond to be re-inst...more
First of All, I love the cover! It's just so beautiful!
OK,so after the end of the first book I was so excited to know what happens next BUT unfortunately I was a little disappointed ...
This book didn't live up to the first one in the series and I felt like there isn't a real story behind the book just that the bond with Rourk is broken and now Keegan is dating Donald!
and what disappointed me more is that Keegan didn't have any real feelings for Rourk after the bond was broken,I mean it sounded l...more

Uuuummmmm....what?!?! How could Julia Crane do this to me? Emotional. Roller. Coaster. That is how I would describe this book. This was a very quick read for me because I could not put it down.
Best Part: I have to say it again....Rourk! I was #TeamRourk throughout this book. After Keegan lost her memory, I felt so bad for Rourk and he did the one thing that he knew to do: FIGHT! However, he did not fight the way that I thought he would. Instead, he left...more

Julia sent me “Conflicted” for review the same time she sent me “Coexist” but I just now finished it. I was prolonging the suspense hoping I would enjoy it as much as I did “Coexist”. Sadly, I have to say it didn’t meet my expectations. I have to say right off the covers of these books are very beautiful. “Conflicted” was a good read and I liked that I got to know Anna and Donald’s characters more. I also liked Keegan’s new ability which was interesting but the story lacked thrill. With “Coexist...more
Conflicted:
This book disappointed me on several levels. I was expecting to continue on a journey with Keegan and maybe explore some darkness as it was dark magic that brought her back after she died.
What I really got was an entire book of Keegan and Donald having a 'relationship' complete with trips etc. There wasn't a plot really and no depth to the book at all. It was simply a book about her being with someone other than her chosen. Time moves by quickly but the charactes never seem to grow....more

Excellent continuation to Coexist! Still as much fun and excitement as the last with a few surprises in store.
The bond between Keegan and Rourk is still broken. Keegan has since discovered a new power and has moved forward in her life. Prom, graduation, college and her relationship with Donald are everything that moves on in the book. Sadly Rourk has not been involved in any of it for he started his own path that he's dreamed of.
To keep his mind occupied for as long as possible Rourk joins the h...more

In the Elfin world, magic and destiny determine who will be together. "Chosen" pairs are fated to meet at the age of 18. Keegan, however, is an anomaly. Having fallen in the battle between the Light and the Dark, she is only alive now due to Black Magic, and her bond with her Chosen is broken. She cannot remember Rourk at all.For the first time, she feels like a normal teenager. She is dating Donald, her long-time crush, and everything seems perfect. But Rourk still feels their bond, and despair...more
In book 2 of Keegan's Chronicles, I noticed how young the characters seemed. The time frame flies in the story but it doesn't seem like the characters grow in maturity level. In the first book Keegan is 16 so I expect her to be stubborn and immature, whining about everything. In Conflicted she's 17 and turns 18 at the very end. So why, oh why is she still acting like a 5 year old. It seems that Rourk is the most mature out of all the teenagers but he's a man of few words so it's hard to tell.

This book picked up right where book 1 "Co-Exist" left off, and did not miss a beat. I loved the story that unfolded between Rourk, Keegan and Donald and loved getting a better look into their characters. I love the world that Julia has created with this series, and now consider it among my favorite YA series. As soon as I finished this book I bought book 3 "Consumed" and can't wait to see what happens next. :)
There were plenty of errors all throughout the book and it still felt as if it were written by a 13 year old instead of a grown woman.
Julia Crane has an excellent interpretation of what one does for love of a friend...family...and mixed it up with a touch of magic.

This book takes place immediately after the first book in this series, Keegan has been altered by the dark magic that brought her back to life and has forgotten all about her perfect match Rourk. She is also having a difficult time dealing with her anger and it has a rare effect by freezing the object of her anger instantly. I really liked Keegan in the first book, in this installment she is shallow, a typical teenager which was pretty much a complete reversal in character. It was a little hard...more
I was so happy when she got her bond back but I feel bad for the shape shifter. This book was awesome
I have never wanted to smack a character so hard before. Even Mr. Darcy didn't make me want to jump into the page and throttle someone so badly. Keegan acts like exactly like a spoiled little brat running wild without a care in the world. As much as this frustrated me, I was more frustrated by the lack of a story. It felt rushed, not fully developed, with bits of this and that thrown in for I can only assume was intrigue? I loved getting a little bit more of Anna and seeing some more Rourk, but...more
I'm sorry, but Keegan really just annoys me.
Keegan was so whiny and immature in this one - if it hadn't been that I really liked Rourk, I probably wouldn't have finished it...
