Made to Be Broken by Kelley ArmstrongMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the 2nd book in Kelley Armstrong’s Nadia Stafford Trilogy about an ex-cop turned contract hit woman.
I really like this series. Kelley Armstrong has created such a fascinating character in Nadia Stafford. A woman who believes that justice has failed her and how she becomes upon herself to free the world from the evil and wicked. Despite that she also does it for a financial reason doesn’t detract one from liking her. We see the soul-searching she does about justifying her kills and where does she draw the line between good and bad.
The storyline involves one of her newest employee’s, Sammi, a young mother with a baby, who disappear suddenly without leaving any clues of her reason for that.
No one in the community is interested in her disappearance as Sammi is seen as a piece of trash and no one to worry about.
But Nadia does. Sammi’s disappearance touches something inside her that is part of her past. Nadia is determined to find out what’s happened to Sammi and her baby. The guilt she feels not having been able to get justice for her own sister, Amy, who had been raped and killed, fuels her quest in trying to do it for her missing employee.
The author’s characterization is amazing. The development in Nadia and Jack’s relationship and with Quinn is really good.
I can’t help wanting Nadia and Jack, her mentor, to be together. I see something in Jack that gets to me….and despite his denial for what he feels for Nadia….and how remote and cold he can be with her…deep down, he does feel a lot for her…
It's not like that," Jack said.I am so interested in seeing where Nadia and the relationship she has with both Jack and Quinn goes next.
"No? Nadia is yours, and it's about time you had the balls to do something about it.”
Well plotted, smooth writing, humorous dialogue and suspense that starts slow and pushes forward with a bang.
Such a good read….such a great series….and I can’t wait for book #3
