Broken Dolls by Mique Watson
2.0

Okay so here’s the thing-

This is one of my first “splatter punk” books and I’m not so sure the whole thing is for me after this.

Well written vile and disgusting content.

I noted at the beginning of the book there is a “Funny Games” quote which made me excited as not many people have seen this, and it’s truly in a league of its own. My issue is that this book seems like fanfiction from that movie- but turned up a few notches and adding in gross sexual content involving persons under 18.

The villain was brilliantly written but it’s easy to see that it’s supposed to be a version of the male lead in Funny Games. To the point that I could hear some of the phrases being said and it drew a small chuckle from me.


Overall it made me gag and feel I comfortable. I had to skip over some parts because I couldn’t handle it. It overstepped my boundaries and personal triggers.
