"People don't change, Sheriff. They are who they are. It's the people around us who bring out our true nature. We're all each other's angels and demons."
Broken is a new crime thriller by author John Rector. The story of Maggie who is facing the death of her twin sister Lilly. What seems like the result of abuse gone to far turns out to be more than what it seems. Lilly tries to piece together what happened to her sister and finds herself in a disturbed individuals sights.
I devoured this book, it was easy to picture the off season boardwalk of Beaumont Cove and it gave off some creepy vibes. It switches from the heroine Maggie's prospective and that of our villain. Maggie was smart, realistic, very relatable and easily imagined. Our villain was more than slightly disturbed, and we get to watch as he looses grip on reality. My only dislike of the book was that we know who his name and who is from the very beginning. But it was still interesting to watch his mental deterioration and Maggie piecing everything together and trusting her gut instincts.
