Broken -- Book Review

Laila had it all--love, family, wealth, and faith. But when her faith crumbles, her world falls apart and Laila finds herself living an empty, dangerous life as a call girl in Chicago.


When she is threatened, Laila shoots and kills a client in self-defense, sending herself into a spiral of guilt and emptiness. Six months later, she is trying to move on, but she's haunted by the past. She hasn't told anyone about the man she killed, and she's still estranged from her family.

When she is approached by a stranger who says he knows what she did, Laila has no choice but to run. But the stranger stays close behind, and Laila begins having visions of the man she killed. Little does she know she's being hounded by something not of this world, something that knows her deepest, darkest secret.

Scared and wandering, will Laila regain her trust in God to protect her from these demons? Or will her plea for salvation come too late?( Goodreads.com)

I found this to be an interesting book with many Point of Views.

It was an okay read and didn't relate to any of the characters but loved the message behind the book. Laila has had a rough life and we see that she had an abortion, and was a lady of the night , and thought that she killed someone.

It was interesting to see Lex's point of view along with James point of view. It was nice to see what a person would do to save or help a family member.

I did enjoy all the journal writing that Laila did because that helped me connect to her and understand her pain.I agree with writing things down is a great way to release your thoughts and experiences.

Best Line in the book: But I don't think that's how it works. You don't just all of a sudden start over. You carry it with you.
