I've loved everything else I've read by Lee Winter, and I dig sci-fi, fantasy, and superhero stories in general (I wouldn't call this a romance, although there is a spicy scene), so I went into this with high hopes. Maybe too high. Shattered wasn't necessarily a bad book, I don't regret listening to it and never had a moment where I was ready to quit, but it is heavy handed with the social commentary and just not the story quality I expect from Winter—so much so that even Abby Craden's always lovely reading couldn't bring the rating up for me.

Anyway, long story short: Winter's writing was great, Craden's narration was great, the story was meh for me.
