A book that hits home
Morning all, If you saw me previous
post (which I know you all did considering how loyal you followers are), then
you will have read a snapshot of the book I’m helping to promote for a
friend-author; Raebeth Buda.
Raebeth sent me an e-copy of Silenced
for an honest review and I have been swamped with work, other books that I have
promised to read and review, and Christmas that I only began reading Silenced yesterday
morning before heading to work.
I finished reading the book in a surprisingly
short amount of time since I began it yesterday morning before heading to work
and completed it yesterday evening after work! I couldn’t help it, Silenced wouldn’t
let me go.
Whilst at work my mind kept drifting
to Amber’s problem with control and her addiction to cutting. We see so many
books on bullies, drugs, drink issues and so on but there are very few books
around (that I have read) about issues like dealing with control, for example
by causing pain or eating disorders.
Silenced is so well written, full of
emotion and hurt yet it’s all relatable so it doesn’t feel like this could
never happen to you or me. Amber could be any teenager suffering from a variety
of family, friend and fitting-in problems but it’s her thought process and the
way she deals with her problems that make Silenced unique.
It ends with a cliff-hanger and
providing I still write this blog when the sequel is released, you will find
the review here because there is no way I can forget this great read.
I’m not usually at a loss for words
but I don’t know how to write a review that does justice to what I have read
and so I will stop here.
The only thing I will say is please read Silenced by Raebeth Buda...it
IS worth it...
Zed (:
