I read and review mostly YA and New Adult any genre within. My favorite's usually have a good romance element.
Review: Broken Arrows by Chelsey Butler
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review
Broken Arrows is a cute, fun fantasy story with adorable, quirky characters. It takes place in a small town called Fable, GA in which most residents are descended from supernatural beings such as elves, fairies, and even Cupid. The story just flies by, and I was done before I knew it. My only real beef was that I didn't want it to end.
Cari is a direct descendant of Cupid and can see a couple's auras when they are soul mates and ready to be together. She crafts all sorts of love potions in order to help the process along. Running an inn, she has lots of folks coming and going and that keeps her pretty busy. Unfortunately she's a bit clumsy when it comes to her Cupid duties. It makes for some funny scenes and Cari's utter mortification.
I really liked the characters in this novel. Best friend Roxy is descended from the Tooth Fairy and works as a dentist. Roxy is a really fun character and I'd love to learn more about her. Old flame Mike I'm not so sure about yet. We never get the complete story about what went wrong in the past with Cari.
Like I said earlier, my major disappointment was that it seemed to end to abruptly. I know this is part of a series, but so many questions were left unanswered. It was a bit frustrating. That said, I think this will be an interesting series to read. I can't wait to read more about all of the interesting characters residing in Fable. Broken Arrows is a lighthearted, quick fantasy with just a touch of romance, some intentional, some accidental. All in all it was quite enjoyable.
