I am all about anything that involves love, romance, and paranormal!  This book has every bit of that!  I was super excited when I give the awesome opportunity to ARC Mel Ballew's debut novel, Shattered Into Beautiful.  There were some things that occurred that made my review later than I wanted, and Mel was so kind to tell me to not worry about it! ;)Sylver is a witch and hasn't ascended yet.  She knows it coming, and that she has a ton of powers coming her way.  She also knows that Vampires are a no no!  She has an awesome support system of her Gran, Jay, and Lyll.Then there is Zander, the "No No" that she is supposed to stay clear.  He her better half; the balance to her light.  He's everything you dream a vampire should be... oh and those Emerald eyes!  It amazed me at how much Zander could feel for Sylver without being near her.  He's like her knight with fangs instead of shining armour!There are a lot of different turns of events writing this novel.  Each are extremely important to the plot of the story, how everyone is intertwined, and holy crap at the surprise you get over half way threw!  Dang, and I that family drama is better than some of those shows on TV!  It's light, dark, serious, powerful, and calls on all elements of Earth.Mel Ballew has done a fantastic job on her debut novel.  It is full of paranormal, love, fear, magick, vampires, dark side, light, spells, fangs, anxiety,becoming who are meant to be, fulfilling your destiny, reuniting with your past, and a cliffhanger at the end!  Oh, and I absolutely love the quotes at the beginning of each chapter!!!  I couldn't wait to see if they were a Mel quote or just someone else!  I <3 the Mel quotes!So, if you are looking for a new paranormal romance Shattered Into Beautiful is it!  It has a different twist than the norm!  Get your copy of it today!  I'll be waiting as patiently as possible for book #2!
