Shattered & Shrouded by Red20881

I stumbled across this little ditty at the weekend when looking through others favourite stories. I'm so glad I started it and it goes to prove that you should never judge a story because of the review count.

So what's it about you ask?

Well we have Bella who has no memory of her life before the age of 17. Now years later after she's graduated from college she gets her first job as Edward Masen's PI.

Edward himself is moody and rude and trust me when I say for the first couple of chapters you will get serious whiplash from his drastic mood swings. But something gets revealed through later chapters that all is not what it seems with Edward.

Bella starts to have dreams and she can't determine if its actually her past she dreaming about. Edward seems determined to help her find out who she once was even though Bella doesn't want to remember in fear that something terrible happened to her in the past.

Its 13chapters in and more and more secrets are being revealed. I can't wait for more to see what else is going to spring up and bite these two on ass. It honestly had me hooked from chapter 1. So I implore you to go read it. More importantly please review it and tell the author how much you love it.

How To Save A Life by unholy.obsession

Yes I know I've recc'd this before but Im doing it again because well simply I can. I have close to 200 stories on my favourites list....This is by without a doubt my number 1 all time favourite. Why might you ask?

Well we have former golden boy Edward who is now broken and a shell of his former self. Bella moves to forks to finish high school where she instantly befriends Alice. Alice's brother Edward doesn't really talk to anyone, ditches school a lot and gave up on everything about his life. He smokes weed to numb the pain he's feeling and basically just wants to be left alone.

After Bella see's pictures and hears a lot about Edward who was once happy, she kinda takes on a rescue mission without even realising it. She slowly but surely breaks down some of his carefully constructed walls, speaks with him sporatically and offers him a chance to talk about things if he ever needs too.

Of course he tells her no and seems to fight off her offers until one day when Bella gets out of biology for feeling sick after blood typing. She stumbles upon Edward in the middle of an emotional breakdown and he finally asks to talk to her. He talks about some of his problems but not the main thing that has him feeling or acting the way he does. Its a small break through that doesn't really change much but its yet another crack in his wall.

Things more or less develop from this point on, he tries to get his life together and Bella seems to become more constant in his life. Of course we have set backs, and trust me with every set back you want to hug the hell out of Edward as long as wanting to scream with frustration on Bella's behalf.

Its an emotional rollarcoaster that I would happily ride repeatedly. You feel Edwards pain and you feel Bella's 'want' with wanting to help him. You feel her frustration, her need, her anguish and also I found I felt her exhaustion. Yes, it does get to the point as its now on chapter 25 and Bella is utterly exhausted. I feel that right along with her but its so worth it. Nobody can be complimented on making me feel these thing EXCEPT the author. I can only commend her writing and the effort and feeling she puts into it for making this an exceptional story.

There's a lot of twist and turns and it's just hit a major turn in the storyline, at the end of chapter 25 I was literally speechless and thinking 'OH MY GOD' and I don't even want to talk about it because it would give too much away. You'll just have to read it to find out what happens!

Please make sure you review, its important for an author to hear you feedback and it also means a lot to them for the hard work and effort they put into writing for us to read for free :D

My Reason for lack of Fic Recs

Recently there has been a lot of things happening within the ranks of FanFiction.net Stories are being reported and pulled for violation of Terms of Service.

Yes we get that that they did break the rules but this is due to FanFiction.net not having an MA/NC-17 rating.

Then we have the asses who have made themselves known as Literate Union. They read a story, leave a ridiculous review completely flaming the author with their over rated opinion and then top matters off by reporting said stories to FFn.

Do these people not have jobs? Do they not have lives? What I would like to know is who made them the 'Powers that Be' of FFn and what gives them right to flame and destroy a persons freedom of creativity?

At the time of writing this all seems to be quiet from LU, maybe its the calm before the storm. But either way Im going to start reccing again. Not all recs will be for FFn but for a new site also that is new and up and coming called The Writers Coffee Shop Library.

New Rec's will be up on Monday March 8th 2010.

Thank you to whom ever visits this blog and for sticking with me, reading stories that I've rec'd so far. It means a lot to the authors when you read and review their stories.
