Review-
This book was only 218 pages but it packed a TON of adventure, romance, and suspense into its pages. Winner of the Yummy but Brainy Writing Contest, Broken Worlds is a sci-fi romance with surprises that the reader will never see coming. A homeless young girl, a hot guy, a missing child. It all adds up to a thrilling story that I did NOT want to end.
Author Anitha Robinson is a fantastic writer with a wonderful imagination. Protagonist, Kalli, is a runaway who was sexually abused at home--a home where her submissive mother lets Kalli's evil aunt rule the house, a home that has no father because Kalli's father ran off and started a new family. And this isn't even the most horrific thing to happen to Kalli. She becomes protector of a young boy, Sammy, who is homeless also. When she is beaten by a stranger, her life falls apart and Sammy's life takes a dramatic turn for the worst also.
Broken Worlds is fun, fast-paced, entertaining, scary, suspenseful, romantic, and just an all-around 4.5 star read!
