My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book contains serious subject matter.

How does one survive after being raped? Especially when everyone is telling you lies and telling you to keep quite about it. How do you go on when the person who has violated you is free to go on with their lives while you are too scared to move?

Mia is the underage minor of a politician and it's election year so everything that happens to him or his family is in the public eye. So of course when she is drugged and raped by the son of a very important allie of her father it has to be hushed and twisted to shine in the favor of her father.

She has been so misguided her whole life, never having anyone really there for her. Brained washed to believe that rape can not lead to pregnancy. She blames all of it on herself, what if she never went that party, what if she never wore that dress.

Broken Beauty made me so angry and break my heart at the same time. How is the world can someone think of themselves at a time like this. She's your daughter, screw the election. If it wasn't for Ari her best friend or Dom, the cop who rescued her and stayed by her side the whole time. her own personal guardian angel as Mai calls him she would be so alone. Even though in her mind she feels so alone.



Rape is a serious issue and sadly so many women have gone through it, and sadly most if not all blame themselves and are scared and torn as to what to do.

If they know the attacker do they come forth and tell, having to live the experience all over again and again? Or do they keep it to themselves and watch as the bastard gets to go out and live his life and possibly do it again.

I can't not wait to read the next book, Broken World is slated for Nov/Dec.

Note from the author: "Broken Beauty" is the first of six novellas chronicling Mia's struggles and triumphs. The novellas will be released over the course of the year, tentatively ever two months.

#bookreview Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier #booktour

  Hello and welcome back, or welcome if you are new to the blog.  Today I have a book review for you. It is my stop for the virtual tour of Escaping First Contact by T.S Beier.  The blurb (From Goodreads) At the far edge of cultivated space, a derelict ship rests. Ten times larger than the biggest Terran dreadnaught, the ship is not recognized by any of the five species tenuously coexisting in the galaxy. Small crews are sent to investigate. What they find is a trap. Once in the metal labyrinth’s clutches, it is clear the unlikely allies will not escape unless they can work together as a team. Unfortunately, trust and cooperation are entirely out of the question. An immersive tale of escape and comradery, Escaping First Contact brings together an unforgettable cast of characters, richly detailed alien cultures, deft humour, and explosive action. "Fantastic world building, believable aliens and lots of snappy action. T.S. Beier is on her way up!"- S.D. Perry, author of Aliens

Skinned by Robin Wasserman My rating: 3 of 5 stars May contain spoilers, cursing and ranting. When something bad happens to you, like an accident as what happened in this book to our main. It doesn't always mean death. If your brain is still working you can be downloaded into a new body. Some people if they have enough credit can have one specialty made if there is enough time for it. But the thing is you are no longer human. You can't bleed, eat, breath. You can feel pain to a degree only with extreme actions. Hot and cold mean nothing. You can feel slightly but it's not the same. You don't need to bathe, brush your teeth or use the bathroom. You're a machine that looks human and mentally you still are the same person but it's never the same. It was going so strong, so good. But then things started to stand out. Little things that annoyed me. Nothing major just certain wordings for example "eating lunch" but how is she exactly doing this??
