Castles on the Sand (Shattered Castles, #1)Amazon  /  Goodreads

MY 56

I skim the words. “Carson threatened Jean-Pierre? Greeeeat, and then what? Tatiana and Belinda got into a fight? And then…what?” The page details all kinds of vigilante action against the people who hurt me. Jean-Pierre got his car keyed and Tatiana had her locker vandalized.

GOODREADS BLURB

“A fast-paced blend of high-stakes drama and average teenage concerns (sex, appearance, friends), capped with a welcome message of hope.” ~Kirkus Reviews

If there’s one thing Madison Lukas understands, it’s pain. The pain she feels when her mother ignores her completely. The pain her best friend endures as her parents starve her as punishment. The pain of a dangerous boy whose mother has to be carried away by law enforcement on a regular basis.

She gets it. She feels the pain of others as if it were her own.

But when a mysterious man claiming to be her long lost brother appears with promises of relieving her suffering, trusting him could reveal more truths than Madison is ready for. Because the truth can hurt, too.

  1. Hi Sherry,

    Definitely not my kind of story, although it highlights the fact, that in my opinion, the family and peer pressures placed on young people today, far outstrips anything we went through back when I was their age. Even without the rose tinted glasses on, life seemed so much simpler then!

    Thanks for sharing and I hope that you enjoy both the books in this series 🙂

    Yvonne
