The Shattered Sisters series holds a special place in Maggie Shayne’s bibliography because it includes her very first published novel, Reckless, from 1993. The early books follow sisters dealing with amnesia, mistaken identity, and dangerous situations, combining romantic suspense with occasional paranormal touches. Forgotten and Broken (also known as Kiss of the Shadow Man) came out in 1994, establishing the pattern of sisters in peril.
Shayne returned to the series years later with Hollow in 2012 and Hunted in 2017, picking up threads from the original books while bringing a more mature voice to the storytelling. The long gap between the early and later entries means the series has evolved along with Shayne’s writing career.
