Brokenhearted by Elisa S. Amore, Leah Janeczko

5.0

Beautiful, gut-wrenching, heart-rending, terrifying, joyful, sorrowful, heart-pounding, grief-stricken...so many emotions go into this artfully woven story!! The love shared between Gemma and Evan is so powerful that not even death can stop it. Simon and Gwen have sworn to stay by Gemma's side to protect her and the baby from further attacks by subterranean forces but they can't protect Gemma from her own grief. Gemma is losing herself to her emotions and her loss of Evan, she keeps having nightmares of Evan locked in torment, tortured by a woman who keeps trying to lure Gemma to them. She soon discovers that Evan is truly being tortured in Hell, that she herself is a Witch, but more importantly that Evan is alive, and that gives her a renewed sense of hope and determination. She will stop at nothing to save Evan. Even if that means going directly to Hell and giving herself to the Witches and setting Evan free. Gwen warns her that giving herself over to the Evil of the witches will make her lose her humanity, but Gemma is sure that her love for Evan will help her keep her hold on herself. After all, love is the most powerful force in existence and it is what allowed Gwen to regain her humanity! So she sets out, and has some unlikely allies along the way. But she has to fight through some of the worst terrors the world has never seen. This was an incredible book and I cannot wait for the 4th book, EXPIATION coming in 2017!!
