Stephanie fights reality every day. The voices inside, the ones declaring her worth, deem her broken, used and dirty. She is an object. A toy. Something to be tossed aside when bored.

Eventually, her secret explodes and the person who means the most to her knows just how shattered she is and why she's so afraid. But rescue is closer than she realizes. Hidden in plain sight, her horror hasn’t been ignored by everyone. Racing against the truth of what she faces, forces are joining together and developing a plan to free her from the hell in her own backyard.

Couldn't stop listening!

This book pulled me in right from the start. The story tackles tough subjects, but it feels real and honest. The characters came alive and I found myself caring deeply about what happened to them. Some moments made me angry. Others gave me hope. I couldn’t stop listening because I needed to know how it would end. The narration was outstanding. Each voice felt natural, and the emotion behind it was believable. It was an excellent performance that matched the intensity of the book. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Not for the Faint of Heart—But Worth It

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every Shattered Thing really hits you in the gut. It’s raw, emotional, and honestly heartbreaking—but in a way that feels real. The story dives deep into pain and trauma, but there’s also this quiet thread of hope that keeps you going. The narrator does a great job bringing it all to life. It’s not an easy listen, but if you’re up for something intense and meaningful, it’s totally worth it.

Important and Relevant

Our lead girl is trying to live her senior year of high school while dating a football player who she thinks is too good for her. Slowly we find that her family situation is bad and then worse, but she feels she has to stick around for her little brother. Things get even worse before they get better, but as her friends like to remind her - you have to hold on to hope.

Both the writing and the narration is engaging and natural. The voice of an abused, slightly detached 17 year old comes across naturally.

As devastating as it is to read stories like this, about abuse and trafficking, it is so important to have the knowledge that stories like this happen in real life all the time. We see the posters in airports and give a casual thought to the fact that maybe it happens here and there but the reality is that it is much more prevalent than most of us know and it is more difficult to escape than we realize.

Heartbreaking!

My heart broke and I ran through a myriad of emotions, but I could. not. stop. listening! It opened my eyes to a world I never in my worst nightmares knew existed, but there was also love and hope intertwined. I can't wait to listen to book 2!
