Broken by Truth by Dr Jeri Fink and Donna Paltrowitz
The beginning starts off with talking about the Perfect talk show; a Dr Phil kind of thing. Unravelling people to bring out the truth and entertain.
It’s quite an interesting perspective to see behind the scenes of these types of shows. The people behind it had to be ruthless, ready to get at any story, at any cost.
One of the unique aspects to this book is the images included, literally being able to see some of the locations talked about in the book.
There was something about the way the author wrote that had me fixated on what was going to happen next...
Dr Hanya, a psychologist for the show is prepped to expose a story that will alter many people’s lives, and test the morals of many people.
Pandemonium filled the set when something unexpected occurred, beginning the ‘domino effect’.
Vivid imagery provides a clear picture of the scenes around the doctor, knowing that there was more to come.
With Dr Hanya speaking in the first person, it is easy to establish a connection. Although, unsure whether to like the main character or not.
Unfortunately, after the main event, it slowed rapidly. Being questioned by police, videoed, every thing put in front of the public. Catching a glimpse of the ruthless world they we were.
The novel switches to another character, Sage, the doctor’s niece, getting her view on things.
Very rare to find well thought out images to go alongside the story, which keeps it entertaining.
The story again picks up pace as the consequences of their actions haunts them. No one is safe.
Sexual tension between Sage and Robert, the Senator’s son; and the man who documents everything that happens, he uses his position to push all the boundaries.
There is a large amount of dialogue, which at times enables the reader to be immersed into the story. However, I don't feel there was enough action or tension to be called specifically a thriller. It’s more about the lives of these different women, and the consequences of their actions. More about the build-up of something else that is about to take place.
Everyone is a suspect, no one above positions, and the real chance of someone close to the characters, may be behind it all.
The sexual aspect definitely caught my attention, well written and executed.
With both Dr Hanya and Sage playing with fire, who could get burned?
Consequences of past actions begin to catch up with the characters, and Sage has to fight not too lose control.
Manipulation, lies, money and sex are just a game to some.
One tip over, and the dominos fall... Knocking anything in its path.
And revving up again for the next book in the series.
4/5

I hate to say it but this is less a story than an exercise in self-indulgence !! A really peculiar book. I wondered as I was downloading why it mentioned a large, slow file and realised when I started it. It's full of the author's photography !! And some of the photography is very good, don't get me wrong, but it really has no place in the story itself and I didn't "get" why, for example, she'd mention a street and add a photo of the streetsign and describe some chocolates and then show us a photo of those.......most bizarre.
It's like she is sponsored as well because it's full of product placement !!
I gave in at 16% as I'd seen enough. Having the pictures dropped in randomly is extremely distracting from the actual story.I thought it peculiar she has two separate chapters titled exactly the same, too. Another weird thing to do.
She did that very annoying thing of spelling pored as poured !! A girl describing an incident on a TV show also spoke in a way she really wouldn't have. Nobody speaks like that. There were dropped speechmarks here and there and a total overuse of the word psychopath !!! Read the synopsis-totally over-eggs it.
I'm not really sure where she was going with the whole book but it isn't what I expected nor wanted to read.

Great story,wasn't wild about the layout with pictures, but that was only minor. I gave it four stars on Amazon, but on second thought, formatting shouldn't hold back my enthusiasm when it comes to great writing which in this case was energetic and moved right along. A fun read and I didn't put it down until I had it finished. This story was very appropriate for today's climate, and offered lots of good tidbits in the way of history and genealogy.
