    About this ebook

    The first novel in New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden's sizzling LOST series introduces the Last Option Search Team, an elite unit that must protect the only surviving victim of a serial killer.

    Ex-SEAL and LOST founder Gabe Spencer is accustomed to the unusual in his job. But when knockout Eve Gray steps into his office, he's rattled. For the mysterious woman is a dead ringer for the heiress thought to be the latest prey of the serial killer who goes by the name Lady Killer.

    When Eve awoke in an Atlanta hospital, her past was a blank slate. Then she recognized her own face in the newspaper and vowed to learn the truth. Determined to confront the nightmares hidden in her mind, she never expects to find a partner in Gabe.

    As Gabe and Eve work together, their explosive attraction becomes irresistible. Gabe knows that his desire for Eve is growing too strong, bordering on a dangerous obsession, but nothing pulls him away from her. And when another Eve lookalike disappears, Gabe vows to protect Eve at all costs. While Eve may have forgotten the killer in her past, it's clear he hasn't forgotten her.

      Broken is a perfectly fine romantic suspense story - nothing new or unique but solid and readable. Broken is the first story in a series about a company called LOST founded by Gabe Spencer, former SEAL. Its purpose is to find missing people. Each person on Gabe's team has lost someone in a way that has made all of them very passionate about their work. In this story, Gabe has been hired by Eve Gray who woke up in a hospital with knife wounds, bruises, and no memory. She believes that she may have escaped the Lady Killer, the name given to a serial killer who stalks and kills young, wealthy blonde women with green eyes, which fits Eve to a T. Gabe and Eve fight an immediate attraction to each other as they attempt to dig into Eve's past in order to protect her from the Lady Killer once he finds out that one of his victims actually survived.
      It was pretty obvious who the Lady Killer was early on in the book, but several suspects were successfully put forth in order to add suspense to the story. A very quick read and interesting enough to hold the readers' attention - an overall good story.

      My Review Fangirling
      Seems like I’m on a Cynthia Eden kick at the moment. This is the second book of hers (different series) I’ve read in less than two weeks and I’m starting the next book in this series asap and I have another book from another series of hers lined up to read too. Cynthia Eden is a master at writing Romantic Suspense, don’t know how she does it time and time again. (There I go with the fangirling) . And Broken, the first book in the Lost series is just another example of her talent with weaving suspense and romance.

      My Review
      Broken was great, I can tell I’m going to love following these damaged, but heroic characters of the Last Option Search Team. This first book follows Ex-Seal and Lost founder Gabe Spencer’s and Eve Gray’s story. I loved them both.

      Eve didn’t know who she is or was and is searching for her identity both real and metaphorically. Eve was found badly wounded and suffering from amnesia and decided to seek out the Lost team to help put the pieces of who she really is together.

      Gabe, well I didn’t feel Gabe was searching for anything a that moment he met Eve, I think Eve was a surprise for him. I get the feeling he was just wallowing in his pain and not actively living, he had his own horrific past to contend with and I can see that’s why he might have come across as so detached at first. But as his interactions with Eve became more frequent I can see him showing more emotions, especially when it came to his protectiveness of her.

      As for the suspenseful parts of this story, I will say Ms. Eden was definitely trying to mess with my head. I was going back on forth on who I think the serial killer and all around psycho was. Oh, it’s him, no, maybe it’s him, okay, okay, it’s definitely him. Alright fine, I give up, who the heck is it? Well all I can say is I was right it was one of my choices, I knew it! What a sneaky little minx you are Ms. Eden. Also I did get that feeling of anger (in an entertaining what the heck is wrong with people kind of way) I always get when I read books about psychotic people, the things that they have going on in their head makes me so puzzled. Crazy psychos! That’s probably an oxymoron.

      One of the things I loved and was also surprised about with this book was how honest both Eve and Gabe was about their feelings for the other, right from the beginning, especially on Eve’s part. Really, they were so amazingly honest with each other, no secrets. Refreshing. Broken was a wonderful start to what I can see will be an explosively fantastic series.

      Contemporary Romantic SuspenseGabe Spencer is an ex-SEAL and the founder of LOST and he is used to the unusual in his job. The moment when Eve Gray walks into his office though he is rattled. The mysterious woman is a dead ringer for an heiress that is believed to be the latest prey of the Lady Killer who is a serial killer. Eve woke up in an Atlanta hospital with her past a complete blank. When she sees her face in the newspaper she is determined to learn the truth. She never expects a partner in Gabe when she is determined to confront the nightmares that her mind is hiding. Their attraction becomes explosive and irresistible as they work together. Gabe’s desire for Eve is growing stronger and bordering on obsession and nothing pulls him away from her. Gabe is determined to protect Eve at all costs especially when another Eve lookalike disappears. Eve may have forgotten the killer from her past but he has definitely not forgotten her.This is a start of a new series that starts out fast and engrossing. The plot and suspense woven into the story keeps readers on the edge of their seats as they try to figure out who is behind all that is happening. With all the great suspects it will keep readers guessing until the very end. The story takes some fantastic twists and turns that makes this one book that is extremely hard to put down. It will also have readers wanting to read the next book in the series. It will also be a book that will have a lot of readers putting on their keeper shelves.Received a review copy

      I loved reading To Kill a Mockingbird back in high school, and I could sense that inspiration in the book from the very first chapter. This was before I even noticed that on the back cover, it is said that the book was inspired by that classic. Although Broken does not deal with some of the same issues of race and prejudice, it does touch on other important issues. About poverty, about love, about irrational actions, about cruelty. I loved this book to say the least. It gives such an insightful and scary portrayal of what can go on in the world that you makes you really question where you live and the people you live around. This does not mean that I'm going to be paranoid about my neighbour across the street. But it really does make you question people you don't know. The world today just isn't as safe as it once was.
    • 5/5
      Awesome novel.
    • 5/5
      As the author himself admits, this novel is a deliberate homage to To Kill a Mockingbird (set in contemporary England), but there's more to it than that. The title refers not just to the character known as "Broken Buckley," whose dalliance with a trashy neighborhood girl sets in motion a series of brutal events, but to all the characters who occupy this bleak landscape, all of whom have been broken in one way or another by the unfortunate circumstances of their lives. Some are morally broken, some have had their spirits broken, and the main character, 11-year-old Skunk, who narrates parts of the story from deep within a coma, has been physically and mentally broken by the unspeakable horror she witnessed and endured. The mystery of exactly what happened to Skunk makes this a gripping and suspenseful, if disturbing, read. The things that can help broken people carry on and heal themselves are also revealed, offering a glimmer of hope in a imperfect world.
    • 2/5
      An interesting look at how one act of violence can lead to others and how violence can affect more than just the original people involved.A thought it sounded like an interesting concept, and although some parts were really interesting, the book fell short for me.The writing skipped around a bit, which made the book a bit confusing for me. The end was not very clear so that even now as I write the review, I am not sure what happened to Skunk.
    • 4/5
      This is another great read in the Georgia Series. I find Will Trent to be an interesting character and I look forward to his story development.
      This novel was set in Grant County so we meet up with Sara Linton and Lena Adams again.

      When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions about a prisoner’s death. He doesn’t understand why Officer Lena Adams is hiding secrets from him. He doesn’t understand her role in the death of Grant County’s popular police chief. He doesn’t understand why that man’s widow, Dr. Sara Linton, needs him now more than ever to help her crack this case.

      While the police force investigates the murder of a young woman pulled from a frigid lake, Trent investigates the police force, putting pressure on Adams just when she’s already about to crack. Caught between two complicated and determined women, trying to understand Linton’s passionate distrust of Adams, the facts surrounding Chief Tolliver’s death, and the complexities of this insular town, Trent will unleash a case filled with explosive secrets—and encounter a thin blue line that could be murderous if crossed.
    • 4/5
      I continue to really enjoy Will Trent as a unique character in law enforcement fiction.
    • 3/5
      Karin Slaughter’s BROKEN (Will Trent #4) is another compelling crime novel, with more background information into some intriguing characters, corruption, murder, and dirty deeds; while Will teams up with the doctor, (both with a past) for a dynamic duo!

      In Grant County, GA student Allison Spooner has been murdered after her breakup with her boyfriend Jason. Mentally disabled Tommy, is the prime suspect after he runs from what is believed to be the scene of the murder and accidentally stabs police detective. His confession and subsequent suicide seals the deal for arresting officer Senior Detective Lena Adams.

      Lena, has a past which is not always by the law, and she is protecting alcoholic Acting Chief of Police Frank Wallace who has dark secrets and skeletons in his own closet.

      Then you have Dr. Sara Linton (former coroner and Hartsdale Children’s Clinic director), and the widow of Jeffery Tolliver, murdered and she blames Lena for his death.

      Of course, Special Agent Will Trent of the GA Bureau of Investigation is called in to solve the case and begins working closely with Dr. Linton as they begin to unravel the cover-ups. These two are from different walks of life; however, both have a past and inner demons which offer them insights into the crimes.

      There is something which connects these murdered students, each of them need money; what is the driving force behind the plot to kill? There is also the police force which Will is more interested in as something smells fishy. He also is in the middle of two women, trying to figure out how all is connected.

      I started reading the latest versions of Will Trent and working my way back. Broken was helpful to provide me some background on Sara and how these two came to connect. With many characters, each brings a big part to the story line as there are many things broken.

      This was not my favorite of the Will Trent series; however, by starting with the latest and working your way backward, assume this will occur, as the author of course matures with each and every book in the series. However, would highly recommend the series and helpful to read each one to get the background of the characters (not as intense or page-turning, as the others).
      I listened to the audiobook and Natalie Ross did a good job with the performance.
    • 5/5
      Love the Will Trent series! This doesn't disappoint. A must read!
    • 3/5
      This is a short story of a newish D/s pair where the sub had been previously abused by his former Dom. It was a fine story, but the dynamics of the pair (the sub being very timid and childlike) was not my kink so the story left me cold. If that's your thing, this will certainly turn your crank, I've no doubt.
    • 5/5
      My opinion: Like I've said before, I try not to read other peoples' reviews on books, or even their ratings before starting on a book. Especially when it's one of my favorite authors and I'm going to read it regardless. I saw some less than stellar reviews for this book and I thought "Uh oh, I hope this isn't going to be dry like Fractured (the only book by Karin Slaughter that I really couldn't get into). I've had trouble getting past Jeffrey's death, which is so weird to say because he's just a fictional character. But after that many books, you begin to feel like you actually know them and when one of the characters dies (especially a main character), you feel like you lost a best friend. This book is essentially based around the corruption that has befallen the police department after Jeffrey died. Frank, Lena's partner has taken over Jeffrey's job and he is definitely letting too many things slide, not doing things by the books at all. Sara is back in Grant County for a few days and still wants Lena to pay for causing Jeffrey's death. She tries her hardest not to get involved in the homicide investigation, but she soon becomes engrossed in it and with the help of Will Trent, starts to uncover some shocking omissions and coverups by the police. Lena knows Frank is covering up and hiding evidence, but since she was involved in the case she tries to go along with the official story (and I think with her history with Frank she still feels a certain loyalty to him as well). I found this book to be pretty fast-paced; I finished it in one sitting. Karin Slaughter's books just suck me in and I get lost in their world all over again. I keep hoping Sara will wake up and Jeffrey's death will all be just a dream, but I know that won't happen. When Will first came on the scene, I just couldn't fathom him and Sara becoming an item (how dare she even think about finding someone else, no one can replace Jeffrey!). The more we get to know Will though, the more I just want Sara to be happy and I think they would be good for each other. Unforunately we run into the road block that is Will's sometimes present wife, Angie, who treats him like dog crap and cheats on him, yet he always runs right back to her. I get that he has a long past with her that no one else understands, but I hope eventually he sees how toxic she is for him. I think Sara really starts to heal in this book and that's nice to see. All in all, a great read. Slaughter delivers again, a great new addition to the Grant County series. Already looking forward to the next one! My rating: 5/5 stars

      This book did keep me turning pages I had no idea who the murderer was until that fact was revealed. The story moves along at a good pace.

      Karin Slaughter is the absolute best crime/mystery writer I have come across in this day and age. Her novels will simply astound you with their heart-racing moments and intrigue. Every time I pick one of her novels up I cannot stop reading until I'm done and I still find myself begging for more. She's a writer with no fear! She wields her instruments like a knife ready to dig in deep and take you by surprise at every turn!
    • 5/5
      Truly one of Slaughter's best books! I was so disappointed when a few books back a main charactors was killed off and I thought the books would never be the same. They were still great but this one tops them all.Can be a stand alone read but I think it will be enjoyed much better if you have read the other Grant County books in the series and know the backgrounds of the old characters.Thanks so much First Reads for a chance to read this before it's release. I highly recommend it!!

      A Georgia student’s murder is solved all too quickly and violentlyin a way that tears apart her community, fuels the hatred between Det. Lena Adams and former Medical Examiner Sara Linton, and promises still further violence. Dr. Sara Linton reluctantly returns to Grant County, Ga., where her chief of police husband was killed, to spend Thanksgiving with her family. The last thing she wants is to become involved in the apparent murder of a young college student, but with the suicide of the prime suspect, the simple-minded Tommy Braham, Sara is soon deep into an investigation that isn’t only about murder, but coverups and corruption in the police department as well. With the help of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s special agent Will Trent, Sara discovers a tangled web of deception and danger. Summary BPLWith Karin Slaughter, it’s never just a who-done-it, although there is always a twist. It’s how she draws her recurring characters into jeopardy as they are sucked into the danger and drama of their investigations. Double jeopardy, you might say. Graphic, but not gratuitously so. 8 out of 10 For fans of murder investigations and procedural suspense.
    • 1/5
      This book has the great merit of being written in a grammatical correct manner; not much more than that, and I am inclined to think that the merit goes to the dutch translator...In this book the world is divided between two kind of people: the heroes, good, honest, disciplined, loving, suffering, but destined to a bright future and true happiness; and the villain, corrupted, alcoholics, addicted, greedy, enjoying themselves in ways we might all be jealous in our deepest dreams we would never share; those will die in pain, by cancer and in solitude, or killed by the heroes. There is even a third category: people in between, they might go wrong or they might redeem, but they will never join True Happiness.What a waist of ink, and what a waist of talent. I have read a short story from Karin Slaughter, and it was funny and full of irony. This one is not even worth recycling.
    • 4/5
      Special Agent Will Trent is sent to Grant County to investigate an apparent suicide that Sara Linton believes is being covered up by Lena Adams. Sara is fanatic in her hatred of Lena and is determined to prove that she was responsible for the murder of Sara's husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver. The attraction that blossomed between Will and Sara in the previous book in the series is strengthened in this one. Sara realizes that Will is dyslexic and breaks through his refusal to admit it. The accused murderer of a young girl (a former patient of Sara's) commits suicide while incarcerated under Lena's watch. Will investigates Lena and discovers she is not the only police officer hiding secrets. I enjoyed this book better than the last few in this series. It appears that Sara is moving on in her life; Will might escape from his unhappy connection to Angie, and Lena might have found someone to help her work out her own problems. Things are getting rather soapy.
    • 5/5
      Karin Slaughter is one of my favorite authors, so I might be biased. I started reading after dinner last night and I went to bed at 3:30am when I finished the book.My favorite quote in the novel is, "I'm a missionary, you dumbass. What do you think I've been doing for the last three years?" Sara Linton's little sister Tessa is hilarious!Okay, all that said, there was something just slightly off with the ending and I've NEVER felt anything off kilter in a Karin Slaughter book before. ***SPOILER ALERT*** I think it had something to do with how neatly everything wrapped up with Darla, Frank and Frank's ex. Darla just came out of nowhere. I'll have to go back to the other books, but I don't remember Frank having a rotten daughter. Maybe she had a minor role and I don't remember. And as dirty a cop as Frank is, and with his and Lena's shared history of covering up their mistakes, I don't get why he thought she would just do as he told her to without him telling her anything about his daughter. He knows how impulsive she is!And Jared! What is he thinking?! Lena might not be maliciously evil, but for her to willfully ignore her own tendencies to bring misery to those close to her with her bad decisions and then hook up with Jeffrey's son as an escape...I could just throttle both of them! Ugh! It's killing me to think what might happen to him in the future! Will Trent caught my heart in Tryptich and I am so glad Karin merged the two series. The anticipation of Will and Sara getting together is making me crazy. I am so ready for the next installment.
    • 3/5
      This is the first book that I have read by Karin Slaughter. I really liked the book, thought it was a great mystery. Sine I have never read anything by Karin I knew nothing about the characters of the book. I found the book really hard to put down. I liked the way the characters and the plot were developed. I would read other books by the author.
    • 4/5
      The title of this book could describe the characters. Officer Lena Adams of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, is called to the scene where a suicide note was found at a lover's lane by Lake Grant. When divers recover the body of a young woman, Lena sees a stab wound toward the rear of the woman's neck and knows it's a murder.The girl is identified as Allison Spooner, a college student and waitress at a nearby restaurant.Lena accompanies acting chief, Frank Wallace, to Allison's apartment. On route, Lena smells alcohol on Frank and observes him drinking from a flask.They are met by a young and overly enthusiastic detective, Brad Stevens. Brad looks in the apartment window and sees a person who they believe is Allison's boyfriend, Tommy Braken. He has a mask on and is holding a knife.In the attempt to question Tommy, Brad is stabbed and taken to a hospitol. Tommy is arrested.In the jail, Tommy commits suicide and in looking at his background we find that he was a flawed character, a boy of only nineteen-years-old with an i.q. of around eighty.Dr. Sara Lingon arrives home for Thanksgiving. She had been married to the former chief of police and was the coroner. She's asked to come to the jail to speak to Tommy before people learn of Tommy's suicide.When Sara learns of the suicide and that Lena was the interrigator, Sara believes that this is another case of Lena not doing her job correctly. She calls in Special Agent, Will Trent, to investigate a possible case of police neglect.Of the characters, Lena's flaw is that she feels guilt over the former chief's death. Even though she was cleared of any wrong doing, she feels responsible.Acting Chief Wallace's flaw is that he is an alcoholic and heading toward a breakdown.Sara's flaw is that she cannot forgive Lena and wants her to pay for causing Sara's husband's death.The police investigate Allison's murder and Tommy's suicide. Will Trent is an appealing character and someone the reader can route for. His flaw is that he has dyslexia and has some difficulty relating to people since he grew up in a foster home.There is an interesting portrayal of town and university. The university doesn't want any bad publicity and sometimes attempts to hinder investigations.I believe that readers will enjoy the contemporary story and see that it could have been lifted from the pages of a local newspaper of a city that has a large university.

      Everyone has a secret in Karin Slaughter's new book Broken.Dr. Sara Linton has reluctantly returned home to Grant County for the Thanksgiving holiday. Since the death of her husband, the town's former police chief Jeffery Tolliver, Sara has avoided the entire police force and in particular police officer Lena Adams, her nemesis, but within hours of arriving home she finds herself in a jail cell with a dead prisoner. Immediately suspicious of the circumstances and Lena's involvement Sara calls in special agent Will Trent. Is Lena the dirty, dangerous cop Sara has always accused her of being or is the whole force corrupt? Trent will need to remain emotionally detached and follow the facts but as the bodies pile up his own secrets could get in the way.Broken brings together Slaughter's Grant County and Atlanta series but readers can jump in here with no knowledge of any of the previous events. A tight suspense.

      This is the second book that features characters from both the Grant County and Atlanta series in one book. I've only read the very first book of the Grant County series, so I was very shocked at some of the events that transpired between then and this book. It’s a great and thrilling read! More detailed review to come.

      Broken. Karin Slaughter. 2010. Ah…our favorite character, the one we are sick and tired of, Lena, is back. Sara Linton goes back to her home town for the first time since she moved to Atlanta after Jeffrey was killed. She is not at all happy when she gets drawn into a murder case. When a former patient commits suicide in police custody, she asks Will Trent of the GBI to investigate. The plot moves along like the others in this series—some of it ask a little too much, but it is good to read more about Sara’s family. Readers who like the series will like this one: Sara and Will together again!

      This is the first book that I have read by Karin Slaughter, but certainly not my last! It was also another book from "LT early reviews".I had a tough time putting this book down. An outstanding story teller, Karin Slaughter knows how to keep a reader spellbound and on the edge of his seat frantically turning pages. Slaughter keeps the reader involved as the story evolves and the killer's motive comes to light while putting main characters lives in jeopardy. I enjoyed this thriller from beginning to end and can hardly wait to read more from this excellent writer and fabulous story teller.
