I have to applaud Megan for writing one of the most heart-wrenching scenes I’ve read in a while. He almost seemed like Delaney’s shadow as he always seemed to be there, even when she was sleeping. I wasn’t really sure of what his motives were, and even when I did, I wasn’t sure that they were right. Troy was one of the hardest character to try and figure out. Delaney has to come to terms with her ‘gift,’ as well as figuring out how she feels about Carson, Decker, Troy, and her parents, so Megan made us feel Delaney’s pain, jealousy, grief, anger, and love. Megan really put you in Delaney’s shoes and I kept asking myself if I would have done the same in her situation. The story reminded me, both in the setting and the dark tone, of something written by Dean Koontz or John Connolly. I love it when an author holds onto the mystery or the secret right up until the end of the story, because it makes you want to keep reading (and reading furiously) to discover how it all ends. Megan had me guessing right up until the very end and I wasn’t even sure it was going to end on a positive note for a while.

Troy knows the truth about her ‘gift’ but will Delaney use it as Troy suggests or take a different path?įracture is a dark, eerie story that will keep you turning the pages to discover the truth. As she struggles to come to terms with these strange feelings, she is drawn to the mysterious Troy Varga who seems to know what she is going through. Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying, but she doesn’t know if she is predicting death or causing it. She is pulled by forces outside of her control and starts to have a series of seizures. But Delaney knows that something is very wrong. According to the doctors she should be a cabbage, but she seems to be fully functioning. Then, miraculously, she regains consciousness with few signs of damage to her brain. Rescued by her friends, she is taken to hospital and falls into a coma, from which she is not expected to wake. I got my hands on a copy and surfaced a couple of days later with this eerie, captivating story in my head.Īfter falling into the icy waters of a frozen lake, Delaney Maxwell is officially dead for eleven minutes. I just read the blurb (because I can’t bring myself to read a review of a book before I actually read it) and was intrigued by the idea.

Megan Miranda’s Fracture was one of those books recently and I wanted to know what all the buzz was about. Every now and again a book comes along and it seems that everyone is raving about it, reviewing it and spreading the word. Twitter has been a great tool for me to find out about hot new books and great new authors to try.
