A Broken Reality
By Rob Kaufman
A Broken Reality by Robert Kaufman is a blend of crime,and psychological thriller . On a fateful night in the dead of winter, an unimaginable tragedy changes the lives of two families forever. This is such a well written heartbreaking emotional book. The characters were all well developed and so easy to relate to . I felt everything that the parents and God parents felt.You get to know the characters and you also get to know how sick Charles Hastings really is and what drove him to be The way he is. The book starts off with Danny Madsen ( a young boy missing ) so it catches your attention right off. There is plenty of action and gut-wrenching moments. Hastings sets up Jesse Danny’s God parent so he’ll take the fall for both Danny’s disappearance and death. This is where some mind blowing mind games begin–an onslaught of psychological manipulation that devastates Jesse, his wife, Danny’s parents and the cops. Things you will not see coming. And the ending omg what a twist !
This story is about a missing boy Danny. Jesse Carlton, Danny’s godfather goes looking for him after four days of missing. Jesse hits a piece of black ice about the time Danny runs out in the road, this sends Danny sailing back into the brush. Jesse loses consciousness, but once he wakes up he doesn’t remember the accident. Charles Hastings, the sociopathic kidnapper witnessed the accident. After all he was chasing Danny when it happened. This is where the mind games begin. To find out what happens next you will need to read this gripping story. I voluntarily read a free copy of this book from YourNewBooks.com
I received an ARC from the author at my request and this is my honest opinion. WOW!!! Great, fully-fleshed characters that you can relate to; they might even be your next door neighbors; plenty of action and suspense, and gut-wrenching moments of heartbreak-this story has it all. It is not the most pleasant read in the world, but even though I just knew my heart was going to be broken before it was over, I couldn’t stop reading. I had to know how it all worked out in the end. Mr Kaufmann did a great job of hooking me from the very beginning and never letting go until I finished. I can’t recommend it enough.
Danny Masden was abducted and has been missing for 4 days. Jesse Carlton is a friend of the family, Danny’s godfather, and he’s been out every night looking for the boy.
Receiving a call from a woman who says she saw the boy running down the road, Jesse heads there immediately looking for the boy. It’s raining hard, wipers aren’t keeping up, and the roads are slick. Then the unexpected happens … Jesse hits black ice at the same time as Danny appears in his headlights.
Severely injured, Jesse has no memory of the accident ..or what caused it.
From that moment, life – and reality – are forever changed for two loving families.
Intense Suspense starts on the very first page and escalates from there. This is a heart-pounding emotional roller coaster of a read. Action is non-stop and characters are solidly defined. The ending was explosive, and unexpected.
