Pieces

I received an ARC for an honest review.
    I have read almost all of Toni Aleo's books, but I almost didn't want to read Pieces because I don't normally read sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal, but I am glad I did. From the first chapter she had me hooked. I wanted to find out what happened with Rebecca and if her brother would fight for his love or watch her marry another 'man'. There was one surprise that I suspected, but when I was proven correct I wanted to find out why her dad did what he did. I was torn about the ending, because in one way I was happy, but in another I was disappointed. Assuming that there will be a second book, I guess I will have to wait and see how some of the stories get resolved.
    I did enjoy the book, but sometimes Rebecca did seem a little immature, even when she was claiming not to be a child.  Finding out the 'big secret' about Killian helped fill in a lot of the blanks I had, even though I suspected the outcome. 
    I think I have realized now, that if Toni writes a book, I will enjoy it, no matter what genre it is.  Keep writing great books Toni and I will keep reading.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;">Overview</span></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">In New York City, an underground society of supernatural beings exists, hidden among everyday humans. They don't know of our activities or any of our secrets. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">The districts of the Works are made up of vampires, wolves, shifters, witches, and I'm in the fifth and arguably most important district, the Patchwork. My father is the leader of our group, and he oversees all of the other factions.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">As his only daughter, that makes me the princess of it all. Cool, right? Actually...no.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Sure, I live in a mansion and money isn't an object, but that doesn't matter because I can't leave. I have a guard who follows me around 24/7. My father and three older brothers treat me like I'm a fragile piece of glass, never allowed to take an independent step or make any decisions on my own.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">It's beyond frustrating--especially since my father essentially runs my life.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">He says what I do, when I do it, how I do it, and all that jazz. He tests his formulas and new techniques on me. I'm a walking science experiment.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">I hate it. </span>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">I hate my life here.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">But then he comes along: Killian.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">He's just some vampire...or so I thought.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">But you'll have to read my story to find out what I mean. To know my secrets.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Until then, though, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rebekah von Stein.</span>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">And I'm a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Welcome to the Works.</span></p>

<div style="text-align: center;">"Wow! Toni Aleo is the queen of hockey romance but now she writes paranormal flawlessly. Is there anything she can’t write? I think not. She weaved this new world of witches, wolves, vampires and Dr. Frankenstein’s descendants, that had me hooked from the very first page. It was a fresh new story that I devoured in one sitting. This story was filled with suspense, mystery and romance. It had me on edge wanting, no, needing to know what would happen next." - <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4916598-jill-m" target="_blank">GoodReads Review \\ Jill M</a> \\ <a href="http://embracetheromance2.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Embrace The Romance</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">"Okay, so what the hell? I didn't see that coming. I mean, really, the queen of hockey writing about vampires, werewolves and Dr. Frankenstein's descendants? Let me be a little sceptical. And after I read it, let me apologize for it. This book was a fresh wave. I devoured it. It took me only one night to finish it because this story didn't let me go. I'm sitting here trying to put together the pieces - not funny - but I can't. I want to read more books like this one. Just keep it up, Toni!" - <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/33755455-becca" target="_blank">GoodReads Review \\ Becca</a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">"I loved this book it was phenomenal.I could not put it down for anything. I help my breath for most of it and still didn't fully exhale when it was over! The end was left with a bit of a cliffhanger and it has me wanted so much more!" - <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/29116602-ash--morning-books-and-coffee" target="_blank">GoodReads Review \\ Ash \\ Morning Books and Coffee</a></div>
