Synopsis:
Seventeen-year-old Grace grows up knowing she’s different,
but she always attributed it to a mother who didn’t want her, a father who
abandoned her, and a curse that sets her apart. Despite those struggles, her
grandfather remained her rock and confidant. Her life irrevocably shatters the
day her grandfather dies.
The day of his funeral sets off a chain of events, making Grace question everything she’s ever known to be true, and as a result, who she can truly trust. She inherits his house, part of his money, his Guardian and something that ties them together.
Just before Grace’s 18th birthday, she is thrust into a world she couldn’t fathom existed and does everything she can to thwart the destiny suddenly forced upon her. She’s been chosen for greatness, but at what cost? With eyes now open, she must choose to either be Chosen, or watch those around her suffer the consequences.
Torn between the man who’s come to protect her and the one sent to destroy her, she teeters on the edge of decision, trying to come to grips with who she is, what she wants and what all of that means for her, those she loves and the rest of mankind.

K Anne Raines is an amazingly talented author. I loved Shattered Grace, the heart ached, the love and excitement, it all kept me captivated straight from the start.
After Grace's grandfather passes away, her world is turned upside down. Nothing is as it seems. She thought she knew everything there was to know about her grandfather, but it seems that was not the case.
After learning what and who she is, she needs to watch out for those who are after her. As if that wasn't bad enough she is finding out that there are those who are close to her have held things from her and now she is faced with choosing between two REALLY hot guys that she cares deeply for.
I have to say, I was really surprised by the out come of Shattered Grace, it didn't end the way I expected it to and I think that is what sets Shattered Grace apart from the rest. I highly recommend this book to everyone, I can not wait to read the second book of Fallen from Grace!!

“It
wasn’t your fault,” Quentin said softly as he came up behind her, touching her
briefly on the shoulder before lowering himself to sit on the edge of the coffee
table. He leaned toward her, resting his elbows on his knees as he stared into
her eyes, his expression conveying his compassion.
Grace
raised her tear-filled eyes. “It wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t in the car
with them.” Tears spilled over her lower lids, blurring her view of Emily’s
picture glowing from the cell phone she still gripped.
“Look
at me.” Quentin lifted her face with a gentle finger. “It was my fault. It’s my
job to keep you safe and I failed.”
She
heard every word Quentin spoke, but couldn’t cling to them like he intended.
Every one of her friends could have died—because of her, not him. Visions of
caskets and grieving families had her pulse quickening. Worry festered in the
center of her chest—circling and tearing at her until what rose forth was
anger. With every beat of her heart, the anger pulsed stronger. No. In her
head, she said it again. No. The word
ricocheted like a war cry through her cerebral cortex until it owned her, heart
and soul. Energy channeled through every inch of her body. A shiver chased
behind it. Those she cared for and loved would not pay for what she was.
In
that instant, Grace felt the power of her choice thunder through her like an
electrical current. Just like Seth in the movie, she chose to be what she was
meant to be, and not to shed what she originally thought was a burden. Newly
determined, she leveled her gaze with Quentin’s.
“What
do I need to do to make sure they never hurt
anyone I love again?”
Quentin
gazed back at her, his features rearranging themselves into an expression flat
and cold—deadly. “You train and you fight back. You let me do my job. And we
don’t let them win. Ever.”
Resolve
steeled her voice. “We won’t.”
