Made to Be Broken

Nadia Stafford, Book 2

De: Kelley Armstrong

Narrado por: Jennifer Ikeda

The author of the acclaimed Women of the Otherworld series returns with her latest novel featuring an exciting heroine with a lethal hidden talent. This time she' s hot on the trail of a young woman no one else cares about - and a killer who' s bound to strike again. Nadia Stafford isn't your typical nature lodge owner. An ex-cop with a legal code all her own, she' s known only as "Dee" to her current employer: a New York crime family that pays her handsomely to bump off traitors. But when Nadia discovers that a troubled teenage employee and her baby have vanished in the Canadian woods, the memory of a past loss comes back with a vengeance and her old instincts go into overdrive. With her enigmatic mentor, Jack, covering her back, Nadia unearths sinister clues that point to an increasingly darker and deadlier mystery. Now, with her obsession over the case deepening, the only way Nadia can right the wrongs of the present is to face her own painful ghosts - and either bury them for good, or die trying. Because in her book everyone deserves a chance. And everyone deserves justice.

Typical Kelley Armstrong!

Kelley's books are not nail biters, but I still can't put them down. Her characters, though flawed, are so real to me I consider them friends! I love her originality! How she makes a hit woman someone I care about makes me smile. Moreover, how she makes a hit man someone I am rooting for is surprising. I love her characters.... her books are entertaining and easy listens. One of my favorite authors read by one of my favorite narrators. Guess I will have to try the Otherworld series.... listened to all the others (multiple times!).

Love this series!

Anxious to read more of Ms Armstrong while waiting for the next book in the Havens Rock Series.

Love this book

Nadia’s story continues! In this book we dive deeper to the story of our favorite hit-woman as she continues her quest for justice.
Here Nadia tries to avenge her teen employee and discovers a lot more than she expects!
Also Jacks scarcely worded conversations are just the best!

Better character study than tight suspense

A difficult story of abduction and trafficking, I like this plot less than that of the first book in the series. But the plot does hold together well.

The characters of Quinn, jack, and Nadia are developed well and the contrast of life as a contract killer and life as a small resort owner make for interesting complications.

I'm not a huge fan of the love triangle, but it's done well, with a believable tension between the characters.

Recommended.

Great Female Series

This is a fun fast paced series! I suggest starting from the #1 continuing in order due to important details & personalities - All Truly Important. Great story line, challenges my ideas of justice. Really enjoy reading details that could actually happen.
