While she fights to navigate her way through this life that is filled supernatural violence at every turn, Ruby knows the dreams of normal women her age may never be a reality for her. No family of her own or a white dress. She fears that everything along with everyone she knows is in danger and it is all because of her. She finally accepts these fears as a fact, and she takes some drastic measures to make sure those that she loves are kept safe. Even if this means she has to forfeit her own safety.

Death has found its way on back to Portsmouth, and the murdering is in full swing. It is a sign that the Rev, a madman, has come back. He is starting to get sloppy, which is very unlike him, and this might mean larger issues for Ruby, the PC, and werewolves in general. Making things more complex is the return of another question mark in her life: one that could be just as troublesome.

As if this were not enough for her to deal with, Ruby sees that she is running interference between all of the guys that are in her life. Tensions begin running while mistakes, lies, and deceit start to pile up all around her. Buried inside the inevitability that she no longer is everything to the two guys. She is forced to pick one of them, risking losing one of them in the process. This is a necessary evil, which might prove deadly.

By the end, it is the reader that winds up getting scarred by this story. The conclusion will make readers want to cry and pull out your hair. Readers enjoyed each and every single page of this one, savoring each moment. The book moves you, making you feel joy for some characters and sad for others.

“Fractured” is the fifth novel in the “Caged” series, which was released in the year 2013. Going back home after spending three weeks of captivity within the shadows inside her mind, Ruby finds the magnitude of the damage her absence has left behind. Relationships need mending and unsolved mysteries loom.

She does not have much time to deal with the newest drama at hand. Three disreputable werewolves thrust into her life recently as well as a missing Scarlet. Ruby has to quickly learn to adapt and thrive in the new situation she finds herself in while also treading carefully around it. If not, she is going to suffer the consequences. Without her genetically built-in safety net present, the consequences could be rather epic.

Readers find this one to be the very best of the series. New characters provide humor and some possible danger to Ruby’s already tenuous existence. It is great to see the development of Ruby and Sean’s relationship in the book, as is the maturity and growth that Ruby is exhibiting.
