Kerry Baker's Reviews > Broken Butterfly

Broken Butterfly by Maddie Wade is part of her Fortis Security series. As the fifth book in the series this can be read as a stand-alone although I would recommend reading them all in order to get the full series development.

This book follows the story of Zin and Celeste. Zin is a very closed off person. He is drawn to Celeste but refuses to let her get too close. As a direct result of the barriers he has in place he pushes her away.
Celeste is used to hiding. Shielding her gift from everyone she doesn’t know who to trust. This is made even worse when the only person she has ever felt close to pushes her away.
When the situation forces them together it becomes clear that they need to decide what is more important - keeping their secrets and distance or keeping each other.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. Even though it is book 5 in the series I didn’t ever feel like I was missing anything, though I can see the benefit to reading the previous books first.
I enjoyed seeing these two characters together. They were clearly well written and matched perfectly. The writing style kept me engaged throughout the story and kept me wanting to know what was happening. A very good introduction not only to this series but to this author.
