Publisher's Summary:
When Ava Flynn walks away from a scholarship to Georgetown and moves into her grandmother's abandoned summer home in coastal Maine, she steps into the center of a centuries-old curse. On her first night, she notices a mysterious leather-clad stranger looking up at her third-story window. For weeks, everywhere she goes, Ava catches more glimpses of him, but she can never get close enough to find out who he is.
Over 300 years ago, Lady Catherine Fairchild risked everything to protect her unborn child, sending a ripple through time that would change Ava's future. As the mystery unravels, the horrifying consequences of Lady Catherine's choices drag Ava deeper into a world she never knew existed, trapping her in a conflict that's been raging since before she was born. A winner-take-all battle for her soul.
Critic Reviews:
>"The intriguing concept of soul mates throughout time will keep the listener's attention through the padding of Ava's first days at college and Maddox's inexplicable elusiveness. The time-travel elements are coherent and fascinating, and Dean (To Katie with Love) finds her strengths when she brings Maddox, Laith, and Ava together." Publishers Weekly

It was just OK
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
I found the soul mate concept in this book interesting, but, overall, it lost my interest. It is full of a lot of cliche romance novel elements and angst. I had hoped it would focus more on the paranormal and less on the romance. That is just my personal preference, though. Others may like that in a book.
Soul Bound Paranormal Romance
This paranormal Romance was quite unique with some time travel thrown in for good measure. It does conclude in a huge Cliffhanger so Im really looking forward to finding out what happens.
Narration was good and brought the story to life.
The plot of the story is very unique and the story unfolds at a good pace. It picks up a bit towards the end and things conclude leaving you hanging.
The main characters were intriguing and interesting. The secondary characters were also great. The story building was well done and going back and forth between past and present worked well for explaining what has caused the main characters to be linked in such an unusual way.
Im looking forward to book 2!

Great listen!
Loved the story and the characters, unique paranormal listen. Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, eagerly waiting on the next in the series. Great narrator too! I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
It's OK.
Be warned splintered Souls: flames of Times is the first of two books that must be read together if you want to know what happens at the end. This is not a series, the novel is split into to two books. Which is not surprising that it ends on a cliff hanger.
I found the book to be predictable, have many cliches and a love triangle. That is not to say it is bad since there is enough romance and intrigue to keep you reading.
The narrator was great at voicing the females but not so the male characters but with practice she might get better.
Interesting Teen Paranormal Romance
Ava began having strange dreams after moving to Maine with her brother and mom.
