Review: Break Her

Break Her by B.G. Harlen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



So, this is the type of book that kills me. I would not recommend this book for anyone who has been attacked or been through any type of trauma. This was a psychological thriller with a villain who has no redeeming qualities. The man was sent into the woman's home to break her by any means. The entire book took place in one house which drove me completely insane because I need movement in a book. Maybe if it was a movie I could have been more into it. But, when a story solely involves two people, I get bored. Since everything happened in one place with two people, there was only so much that could happen. It got to the point where it was the same thing over and over. He tortured, degraded, abused, and violated her repeatedly.

As the book progressed I had a feeling she would eventually break because of all the horrible things he did to her. She had a strong will to handle anything but it got worse and worse. He would have moments when he seem a little human and then it would be gone in the blink of an eye. Even though he began to feel something, he knew he had a job to do. He really grew to care but in his on weird way. Yet he would not stray from his path. Even when he considered it, he knew that he would never really change.

There was so much thought throughout the book in the moments where he wasn't torturing the hell out of her. It was amazing how much of a bastard he was and how much she could figure out about him when he was trying not to show any other self but the villain. She even showed so much of herself to the point where he thought he really had broke her. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars because it really was a great book despite me getting bored in the middle. I was pleasantly surprised at the end, which could mean so many things. I won't give anything away just in case anyone does read it, although I wouldn't recommend it for really anyone. I feel that most people would possibly need therapy after all of that.
