Made to Be Broken (Nadia Stafford Series #2)

Loved it...

It's one of those books, that everyone will love, but will never become a fad. It won't be the next Twilight, nor the next Romeo and Juliet. But it's still great.
The characters... oh my, the characters. Armstrong did an absolutely beautiful job with developing them, and keeping them in character for the entire novel. They're all interesting, no flat characters, no Mary-Sues or Gary-Stus.
Her writing style is perfectly fine, in my opinion. She obviously knows what she's doing, it's a very simple, easy to read style, it keeps you entertained and is nowhere near difficult. She doesn't have an overly memorable style... but that's what the plot's for.
Now, the plot. I won't include any spoilers, don't worry, but I loved the plot. And the twists in it, things you'd never expect... It was just great. I can't say much more without spoiling it, so I'll shut up about that now. I'm not usually a romance fan, but there is a little in this book. I didn't mind it one bit, I actually rather enjoyed it, honestly, it wasn't like normal romance. It was sweet, not overdone, and didn't take over the entire plot.

Great book

I really liked this book and the first in the series. I have read all of Armstrong's otherworld series and was a little skeptical about this one but it has been surprisingly good. There is enough suspense and twists to keep you entertained throughout the book. Like her paranormal books, the characters are all fairly complex and interesting.

Highly recommended

I have read all of Kelley's Women of the Otherworld series and like her writing style so much decided to read Exit Strategy and Made to be Broken. I'm so glad I did. Kelley's writing style is very easy to read and she pulls you in and keeps you wanting more. If you like the series, recommend it to everyone. I want there to be a third book to see where Nadia's relationship with Jack and Quinn is headed. Book sales will determine if the series continues.

Nadia Stafford Very good Character

I love Kelley Armstrong's writing, she does a great job of pulling you into her world, in this series and her Otherworld Series.
If you like suspense, drama and trying to pick apart clues, this one is great.

Fantastic Characters

Kelley Armstrong is a fantastic writer. I love all of her series but this one I hope she continues. The main character is a strong and interesting women. Can't wait to see what happens to her next and need to know what will happen between her and Jack.

Please buy this book so Kelley will continue the series.

Enjoyed

While I enjoy Kelley Armstrong's other series better, this is very good and a different kind of story. I enjoy the depth of the characters and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go from here.

Read These Books!

I loved these books so much I wrote to Ms. Armstrong to beg her to write more, something I have never done before! Just go out and get them.

Nadia's Not Just a Nice Girl

I am a fan of the Men and Women of the Otherworld Series and decided to try this mystery. I really enjoyed it, especially the complex characters and careful dialogue that leaves enough between the lines to let the author and the reader both spin the tale. Kelley Armstrong respects the reader and is always interesting. I am always curious about what else is going on or has gone on in the characters' lives. Read this and feel redeemed.

Great Book!

I really like this series with Nadia Stafford. It's a different story than so many others I read. Very good book. Would definitely recommend it.

Nadia- when will you choose

I know, the story is suppose to be about assassins and murder and all of that, but I can't help reading for the possible relationships that Nadia may encounter. I can't wait to read the next book to this series to see if she furthers her love life!

Nadia Staffor a different approach from Kelley Armstrong

This book has a lot of interesting relationship points for the main character, who is clearly wounded. But the point of the book is satisfying in that revenge and retribution are dealt out in such a way by a character that is so different from characters in her other books. In her other books, the heroine is a person with special powers, in this series, the heroine is a member of a sociopathic monster pack hunting other sociopathic monsters for reasons of her own. It takes one far away from the realm of good and evil into the grey area of expedience and pragmatism. I enjoyed this.

an entertaining thriller

To finance her Red Oak Lodge in the Kawathas, two hours from Toronto, she is a part time hit-woman contracted mostly by the Tomassinis mob. Nadia Stafford¿s partner on her current job is a Federal Agent, but Quinn sees that justice is done by playing vigilante. Nadia¿s mentor in how to be a successful hit-woman is Jack, a mercenary for hire with few scruples.

When Nadia returns to her prime business she has a fight with her employee. Seventeen year old Sammi Ernst lives with her little daughter Destiny who accompanies her on her job. Sammi pays more attention to her child than her work so a frustrated Nadia explains her duties to the teen mother. When the mother and daughter vanish, Nadia searches for a grave. With Jack¿s help she finds it, but Destiny remains missing. Since the cops believe Sammi ran away, they refuse to look for her. Nadia, Jack, and Quinn discover there are other crimes when a disenfranchised teenage mom with a baby disappears. Mindful of an incident in her past, Nadia wants to take out those who caused Sammi¿s death and find the still missing infant. Jack and Quinn assist her on her avenging quest for justice.

Known for her Otherworld tales, Kelly Armstrong also writes exciting refreshing and enthralling sagas that are every bit as great as her urban fantasy sagas. The protagonist believes everyone she kills deserves their fate so when the Canadian legal system fails she becomes an avenging Lady Justice if the case is personal. However, she is not someone to role model after as she also kills in cold blood as a means of making money. Though not admirable, she is refreshing and fascinating as are her two cronies. MADE TO BE BROKEN is filled with twists and blind cul de sacs, but it is the lead trio especially the lodge owner who turn this into an entertaining thriller.
