aprilreads2703 's review for:
Broken Dolls
by Mique Watson
challenging
dark
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
N/A
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
In a nutshell the book is just abuse, abuse and a lil more abuse. No depth to the characters nor plot.
Without giving anything away (if possible) it’s the same old tale of a guy coerces his way into a woman’s home (who you can quite obviously tell is a woman written by a man) and then he starts torturing them.
I’m not new to this genre and I do typically like books with such vivid acts of murder/torture but this just felt like an excuse to write explicitly about abusing (sexually, physically, verbally, mentally- the list goes on) children.
Maybe it works for some people but I’m certainly not one of them, do with that what you will.
